Why work with us?
Elia Group is a key player in electricity transmission. We ensure that energy production and consumption are balanced while supplying 30 million end users with electricity!
Startups
Start-ups infuse dynamism into projects and have unique perspectives and use cases to contribute to our work. We at Elia Group therefore actively scout out possible partnerships with them, in the recognition that it is only through collaborating with a range of partners that we will be able to establish a consumer-centric and sustainable future.
We are open for collaboration with startups…
Through our subsidiaries in Belgium (Elia) and Germany (50Hertz), we operate 19,276 km of high-voltage connections, meaning that we are one of Europe’s top 5 transmission system operators.
We aspire to be a catalyst for a successful energy transition and actively look for partners that will help us to establish a reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy system.
We need inspiration and innovation to find new cutting-edge solutions that will help us achieve our mission. We cannot do it alone. We are continuously scouting for start-ups that can assist us in embedding innovation across our operations and processes, not only in bringing innovative solutions and technologies, but also in challenging our corporate mindset and way of working.
