HOW WE INNOVATE Our innovation is divided into Open Innovation Initiatives and Innovation Projects. The process starts by pinpointing innovation needs, identifying trends and enabling technologies. The preparation and development of ideas happen both in-house and externally through collaboration with universities and start-ups and also through technology scouting. The most promising solutions are taken beyond experimental level and are developed as projects. In order to ensure that our projects are effectively implemented, we have created two “innovation factories”: Innovation Factory TO develops innovation projects for the transmission grid, while Innovation Factory SO handles initiatives for innovation in the electrical system. Terna is developing an innovation model designed to meet new needs and generate value for the company and stakeholders alike, adopting a concrete, open, inclusive and distributed approach. OPEN INNOVATION INITIATIVES INNOVATION PROJECTS Our Approach Concrete: from the needs of business to the concrete solutions that can resolve them, through the generation and development of new ideas and the implementation of innovative projects, with a structured process of protection and enhancement of Intellectual Property. Open: with the involvement of external actors such as start-ups, universities and other entities that play the dual role of enablers and recipients of the benefits of innovation. Inclusive: innovation initiatives involve the company's people, and this helps spread the culture of innovation. Distributed: all the different organisational structures participate in the development of innovation ideas and projects, aided also by the Innovation Factories, which serve as a link between central innovation and the different company structures.
