Open innovation

To continuously leverage its expertise and cover a broad range of technologies, Groupe SEB has for several years led a proactive strategy on open innovation, a field in which it now stands as a recognized player.

The Group's research teams work closely with schools and universities and major players in public and private research in France and internationally. The teams also rely on external networks run by clusters, including French competitiveness hubs (Vitagora, Axelera, Cap Digital, Cosmetic Valley, etc.) and European clusters (European Institutes of Innovation and Technology).

The Group's investment fund SEB Alliance identifies emerging firms with high-tech content and includes them in the Group's innovation ecosystem by investing in and/or forming R&D partnerships with them.

Groupe SEB Innovation
Open innovation is a key pillar in our innovation strategy. In a connected world marked by fast-paced advances in technology, it lends greater structure to our in-house R&D activities. All innovators, be they independent inventors, research labs, start-ups or companies, are welcome to join our innovation ecosystem and develop new products and innovative services with us.

 

The Group set up a special portal for external proposals on inventions in 2013.
