The objective of the session is to share the Galp case, an overview of Innovation at Galp: our journey, our mission, the way we work, the Governance model with our internal stakeholders.

Our Mission is to “Build a portfolio of opportunities to boost the energy transition in an agile way”. So we challenge the strategy and the business units with new opportunities, we incubate and boost new projects in complex environments by being enablers, and we take everyone outside of their comfort zone.

The talk will highlight the importance of having a strategic mindset: define and approve the innovation thesis to get the Stakeholders aligned, define a roadmap​, manage the innovation portfolio​, set clear Innovation KPIs; as well as the importance of having a collaborative mindset: implement innovation practices, embrace ecosystems in a collaborative way​, have cross functional & diverse teams​.
