Our innovation model

Iberdrola, through its PERSEO start-up programme, seeks to reduce costs, time and risks for its employees by automating various maintenance inspection processes using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones).

With PERSEO, Iberdrola Group promotes different challenges addressed to emerging technology companies with the aim of finding innovative solutions that enable its operation to be improved and its environmental footprint to be minimised.

Woza Labs' digital solution has won the start-up challenge Resilience of electricity grids to natural disasters. Thanks to their knowledge of geographic information systems and satellite image analysis, they will design a programme that will help the Networks area to plan and quantify climatic risks that can cause damage to our grids.

Iberdrola Innovation Middle East is based on three cornerstones: our engineers, our laboratory and our partners. Moreover, forming part of the Iberdrola group provides us with access at all times to the very latest technological and industrial knowledge and advances.

Our core activity is identifying and solving the key challenges related to the digitalisation of the energy system. We start up R&D projects with a high technology readiness level (TRL) and large commercialisation potential.

El proyecto HOREX –acrónimo de Hormigones Expansivos– nace de Iberdrola de investigar el fenómeno de la expansión química del hormigón, que era casi desconocido, propio del material y que supone un gran desafío para las presas a nivel mundial debido a las dificultades a la hora de controlarlo, ya que puede afectar la funcionalidad para las que fueron diseñadas y construidas las presas no solo durante el mantenimiento de las estructuras sino también en su construcción.
