R&D's expertise in service of major European customers
EDF R&D has experimented in Europe with commercial follow-through approaches already used extensively in France with its industrial customers, such as energy efficiency, valorised in the form of progress contracts or research partnerships.
With the Business Customer Network and under the control of the European sales network, these offers have already been made to 9 major accounts in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
EDF is leading its customers towards energy and environmental performance by offering improvements, in particular for the utilities of industrial sites or by suggesting innovative solutions for the process, for example, for advanced solid or fluid heating processes.
The presence of an EDF R&D expert directly within the companies of the Group is a factor for speeding up the adaptation of these offers and their deployments on a European level, as was done in 2005 with EDF Italia. It has also allowed for the training of a team of experts with FENICE, which is the first part of a European network of experts, in which EDF R&D is responsible for the transfer of know-how and innovation to ensure that the EDF Group is always at least one step ahead of its competitors !
