Let’s co-create a sustainable world!

Climate change is the toughest challenge humanity has ever faced, but the solutions and actions to be taken are unclear. What is clear to us is that this unprecedented challenge calls for equally unprecedented collaboration.

You are invited to join the INNOVATHON 2020 to take action together and help co-construct a sustainable world.

The Innovathon is an innovation challenge in which GEM clients, employees, and partners will work together to co-develop concrete solutions to our clients' decarbonization challenges.

Connect with our clients from different countries and industries, ENGIE and other actors sharing the similar challenges and the similar ambition to create a better world through sustainable innovation.

Your help is needed! Join the call for projects on March 6 to propose your ideas.
