Equinor Startup Hub is Equinor’s newly established venture client unit. The goal is to become a buyer or user of products and solutions from startup companies – in order to help bring about solutions that can solve our problems.

Startup Hub introducing this innovative approach to working with startups into the energy industry. We also work with selected ecosystems, to support the development of a new generation of startups working on the solutions of tomorrow.

We provide funding, support and advice, helping to promote regional development of innovation ecosystems, along with regional and international collaboration.
