Revealing the Group’s strategic ambition through a brand

EDF Pulse, the Group’s innovation culture development arm, has supported 96 startups in their development since 2014. The programs offered unite all those who want to accelerate carbon neutrality with EDF. Startups, but also Group employees, partners, innovation ecosystems... To go even further, even faster, EDF Pulse is taking on new momentum in 2021 with Saguez & Partners, to create a fully-fledged transversal innovation brand. A project that has revealed the brand’s strength and created a solid foundation for innovation within the Group.

  2. Make it possible by mobilizing all energies, wherever they may be, enabling efficient action and concrete results.

  3. In pursuit of a common goal: winning the race to carbon neutrality.
