The idea is simple: to combine the technological breakthroughs of small, innovative companies with Solvay’s manufacturing and marketing strengths to enable the Group to widen its field of opportunities.
A new addition to the Innovation toolkit
By investing in young, promising companies, either directly or indirectly (through venture capital firms), Solvay gains a preview of nascent technologies that could potentially enrich its technological portfolio in the short term.
As an active observer of new markets, the Group ensures that it can develop strategic partnerships at the leading edge of advanced technologies.
