Equinor Innovate: how does it work?
This page is available in English only
Do you have a proposal for how to apply new or existing solutions to our context in a pioneering way? Here are the steps in the process.
The innovation challenges posted in this website are connected to a real project organisation working side-by-side to the challenge campaign. This challenge team includes professionals dedicated to reviewing and exploring potential next steps for working with solvers to develop and implement solutions that improve our operations. In addition to the challenge owner, we work closely with colleagues across disciplines to secure a high-quality evaluation process and a smooth handover to relevant investment, development or implementation channels.
Take on the challenge!
Challenges are posted on a regular basis and typically run in campaigns for periods between 6 to 12 weeks. While the specifics within each step may vary according to the nature of the challenge, our active campaigns follow 5 main steps:
1. Challenge description
Take a look at the challenge page to get a quick overview. You can obtain more detailed information about the challenge by clicking on the submission banner.
2. Submission process
Submit a description of your proposed solution through the service provider’s website, with the documentation and material needed to communicate it as effectively as possible. ONLY include non-confidential materials.
3. Evaluation process
When the campaign ends, all submissions are reviewed by our team of experts.
4. Announcement of winners
Winner(s) will be contacted and announced. In addition to the winner(s), additional submitters can potentially be contacted for further collaboration with Statoil.
5. Co-development
If relevant, winner(s) and contacted submitters could be invited to collaborate more closely with Statoil, including proposals for next steps towards further development, qualification or implementation.
