Innovation at Ørsted

January 28, 2026

The future of offshore wind starts here

Innovation is of central importance to Ørsted’s ability to lead our industry. It enables us to stay competitive, resilient, and ready to meet tomorrow’s energy system challenges. It helps us deliver on our promise to facilitate the renewable energy transition via the world’s largest portfolio of offshore wind farms.

Across this portfolio – and throughout the company – we’re developing new technologies, business models, and partnerships that make renewable energy more efficient, more sustainable, and more valuable.

A company-wide mindset

Ørsted’s dedicated innovation team initiates and coordinates wide-ranging innovation projects, which must pass through our structured innovation pipeline. More generally, we promote innovation as a company-wide mindset that drives everything we do.

Collaborative innovation

At Ørsted, we believe that innovation thrives in collaboration. Our teams work closely with universities, startups, suppliers, and local communities to co-develop solutions with real-world impact. Internally, our Innovation team acts as a hub for emerging technologies and business models, helping our global organisation test, scale, and commercialise new ideas.

Work with us

We know the future of renewable energy can’t be built alone. That’s why we collaborate with other innovators – from global research institutions to local suppliers and technology startups.

Our joint projects explore advanced materials, AI and robotics, digital twins, and sustainable operations.
