Innovation is at the heart of Saint-Gobain’s strategy and goes far beyond the walls of our R&D centers. It also includes collaborations with external partners as an extension of our processes, materials, and solutions to grow new markets, minimize the use of natural resources, and enhance well-being for all. 

As NOVA by Saint-Gobain is charged with opening the doors of innovation with startups around the world, we’re bringing opportunities to our businesses to explore future concepts and ideas, challenge the status quo, and foster a collaborative environment. The Innovation Awards speak directly to our mission of building bridges between the startup ecosystem and Saint-Gobain businesses by structuring strategic partnerships, collaborations, and investments to drive growth for both our company and the startups in our portfolio. 

In fact, some of the projects up for this year’s awards are related to a collaboration with one of our startups!

We are excited to celebrate our own innovators from Saint-Gobain teams around the world on January 30, and I’m looking forward to recognizing the remarkable innovations that inspire us every day.
