Net Zero Innovation
What we do
An effective transition to Net Zero requires understanding which innovations are applicable to your business context, in an ever changing landscape. Innovation can be about technology, business models and go-to-market plans to best-leverage the Net Zero business opportunities.
We organise tailored Net Zero innovation workshops to introduce external and cross-industries’ best practices that are relevant for your industry and foster your team’s collective creativity to generate new growth avenues.
NovAzure works with your team to transform these innovation ideas into successful in-house ventures, creating new value propositions that meet the needs of clients and partners.
Our experts help to build and implement partnerships to maximise value creation in innovative ventures, by leveraging external resources to accelerate your business growth journey.

Typical Challenges
Is your company struggling with producing new green offers? Each business line may have ideas to meet net zero requirements, but without a coherent strategy, these ideas go undeveloped. Innovation hackathons and cross-functional activities can bridge these gaps. They foster synergy, break down silos, and ensure early buy-in, transforming great ideas into actionable strategies.
Maximizing co-innovation value requires fair facilitation ideally by a neutral party, ensuring startups and corporates operate on equal footing and fulfil promises. Open communication leverages startup networks for R&D and new commercial partnerships for Corporates while scalable client delivery is often taught in return.
Many internal ventures fail or don’t even lift-off. Balancing risk philosophies between corporate and startup entities is challenging, as is overcoming resource constraints and maintaining startup agility. Getting the right balance of independence while leveraging corporate advantages requires tailored governance, policies, and interactions with business lines.
