Innovation
Innovation is investing in the future. We will perform tomorrow only if we are innovative today.
Innovation is at the centre of the Solvay group's strategy (see Innovation and Strategy). It is the key driver for contributing to sustainable growth and competitiveness.
Solvay is continuously looking to strengthen its innovative capabilities. Collaborations with customers suppliers, universities, research institutes, and public sector partners are helping the Group to expand its knowledge and novel solutions.
Many initiatives are designed to motivate employees by rewarding and recognizing their contributions. Among these is the Solvay Innovation Trophy, a flagship initiative of the innovation thrust.
Solvay is looking for sustainable and profitable growth, by creating new opportunities in markets of the future and has set up New Business Development strategic platforms. These develop business opportunities in new fields as well as establish strong international networks.
Solvay innovates to succeed
An Innovation Center will be created inside Solvay.
Headed by a Chief Scientific & Innovation Officer, the Innovation Centre will give more powerful innovation engine, a better global coordination of innovation projects and a best practice sharing.
The Innovation Center will bring more economic value through innovation activities, better innovation management practices and increase the overall impact of innovation on the Group’s results in term of sustainability.
