Fighting against the effects of COVID-19 with innovation and Positive Energy+

 

The coronavirus pandemic will lead to outstanding changes both socially and economically. We must join forces to combat the effects of this crisis in Spain. Several companies in the Spanish energy sector have created Positive Energy+, a pioneering initiative in Spain that uses innovation as the main tool to offer effective responses to help alleviate the economic and social impact of COVID-19.

This platform is initially promoted by Red Eléctrica, Enagás, CLH, Iberdrola, BP, EIT InnoEnergy, Acciona and Capital Energy, and institutions such as Startup Olé, ASCRI, El Referente and Socios Inversores have already confirmed their collaboration. It is also open to other companies and organisations that want to join.

Through their subsidiaries or technology departments/corporate venturing teams, the participating companies launch this urgent call to attract and financially support startups and scaleups with innovative projects, to enable them to launch immediately and be developed and implemented within one year.

Each of the companies will support at least one startup/scaleup with financing for project development and/or by offering their innovation, investment, commercial development and structural tools to them.
