Cergy, 26 March 2026 – The SPIE Group, the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, has announced the winners of the 2026 Innovation Day. Held every two years, this event brings together employees and partners to showcase the most innovative solutions developed across the Group’s various subsidiaries. The 2026 edition, held on 25 March 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany, brought together more than 600 participants and featured more than 100 innovations.
Innovation Day is a key event in SPIE’s innovation strategy. It provides an opportunity to share solutions developed by the teams and to highlight the Group’s innovation priorities, which deliver practical responses to client challenges, particularly in the areas of the energy transition, infrastructure digitalisation and industrial performance.
This momentum is supported by a network of seven strategic committees - Building Technology, City Networks, Digital, Industry, Information & Communication Services, Technical Facility Management, and Wind Energy - as well as the Health and Safety committee. These committees support project development and foster the sharing of best practice across the Group, working closely with the innovation teams in each subsidiary, which play a vital role in identifying, testing and rolling out initiatives in the field.
For this 2026 edition, more than 100 projects were presented by SPIE teams and their partners, with a focus on innovation with a positive environmental impact. The innovations covered a wide range of themes, from artificial intelligence applied to operations, to energy management and the reduction of the carbon footprint of industrial activities. The winners were selected by the strategic committees based on several criteria: the novelty of the projects, their value to the Group and its customers as well as their scaling-up potential.
At SPIE, innovation is reflected first and foremost in the ability of its teams to design and implement technical solutions that create value for clients. It is driven by the expertise of employees, knowledge sharing across the Group’s various entities, and a pragmatic approach focused on improving the performance, safety and sustainability of infrastructure.
