MEET NEOENERGIA'S PROJECTS IN INNOVATION
People at Neoenergia are open and alike to innovate. However, there is a natural path of institutionalization of the theme being pursued and it is necessary to prepare people and areas,at various levels, to scale innovation.
The construction of the Innovation Thesis was the first step towards the Innovation Governance process. With it, the organization can clearly state the types of ideas, projects, markets and startups that it wants to invest its innovation efforts.
10 INNOVATION GUIDELINES
- Review operational processes ensuring improvement on the complete journey of the customer, creating new digital relationship channels.
- Increase operational efficiency, through incorporation of technological solutions for digitization, automation, and optimization of internal processes, with an impact on the quality, safety, and cost reduction indicators of the business.
- Take a leading role in the digitalization process of energy transmission and distribution networks, strengthening partnerships with other companies, universities, and research centers, in order to improve the control, use, and sharing of your data. In addition, offer subsidies for the regulatory discussion concerning the feasibility of the permeation of Smart Grids in the coming years.
- Create new business models to offer more flexible and complete products and services packages to customers and partner companies, including design, implementation, operation, and maintenance.
- Consume increasingly more clean energy when deploying and operating assets, clearly informing the origin of the energy consumed to your customers.

- Train employees on the use of technological resources, process optimization, generation of innovative solutions and new business models, with a focus on sustainable solutions. For such, a culture that ensures motivation and psychological safety must be stimulated, thus promoting collaboration, protagonism, engagement, and a look to the future.

In addition, provide for environments that favor experimentation and relationships with other organizations within the innovation ecosystem.
