Our impact As a result, we have built the largest sustainable energy innovation ecosystem in the world: We have supported 500+ sustainable energy innovations and invested in 200+ companies, all on track to generate 110 billion in revenue and save 2.1 gigatonnes of CO2e accumulatively by 2030. 90% of our start-ups already work with global brand names including ABB, BMW, EDF, Engie, Volkswagen, Galp, Schneider Electric, Naturgy. Our EIT InnoEnergy Master School has attracted students from almost 100 countries. We now have more than 1,600 graduates making an impact in the energy transition all around the globe. Decarbonising Europe We are also spearheading the way to a decarbonised Europe by 2050 through the leadership of three industrial alliances: battery storage, green hydrogen and solar photovoltaics. These alliances bring together the knowledge and experience required to support large industrial projects, which directly impact the energy trilemma: reducing the cost of energy, limiting greenhouse emissions and increasing availability and security. Ultimately, these actions play a fundamental role in realising our goal of a carbon neutral Europe by 2050. Our ecosystem All this is made possible thanks to our rich network of more than 1,200 key players from 18 different countries. Together we act as a key vehicle for the energy transition and make up the ingredients needed to bring a constant pipeline of sustainable energy innovation to market. Established in 2010 and supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), we have offices and hubs across Europe and in Boston, US.
