How we collaborate with academia to capture latest technologies

Our innovation teams work closely with universities and research centers all over the world to capture the latest research.

We’re always interested in hearing about top-notch research and novel technologies. Neste has strategic cooperation with Aalto University, Åbo Akademi and VTT (The Technical Research Centre Finland) and we also collaborate with international partners. Other external partnerships are made at Neste in two different formats - either in bilateral collaboration or in a consortium, with several external parties. Neste Veturi R&D program is an example of an ecosystem where Neste has plenty of R&D consortia to co-develop solutions with us for sustainable fuels and chemicals.

Collaboration with technology providers and startups

When partnering with technology providers and startups, our focus is on mature technologies and technologies on their way to maturity, but we are also ready to co-develop viable ideas in their early stages.

We can offer our R&D and engineering knowhow to co-develop and commercialize new innovations. To this end we are also prepared to make equity investments in startups.
