INPEX INNOVATION
INPEX is constantly pursuing innovation in the energy industry and is committed to developing new technologies and business solutions. We will meet the needs of the ever-changing market and society and introduce cutting-edge technology and ideas. By doing this, we will generate business that provides new value alongside more efficient and environmentally friendly energy supplies.
The INPEX Challenge System
At INPEX, to fully harness the creativity of all our employees, we have implemented an internal entrepreneurship system called the INPEX Challenge System. This system offers support for employees to shape their own ideas and launch new ventures. We have created an environment where we can proactively undertake business that goes beyond existing frameworks while leveraging our own resources and the strengths of our employees themselves. We wholeheartedly support employees who are not afraid of challenges and who have the desire to create new value. By continuously creating new business models, we are targeting the overall growth of the company and contribution to society.
Business Creation Initiatives
We are sensitive to the changing needs of the market and are working to create new businesses that leverage our strengths.
In the process of generating business, we aim to create multiple business concepts by combining internal and external resources and swiftly turn these into projects after appropriately conducting a screening process. So far, we have conducted concrete business examinations by integrating diverse perspectives and skills while collaborating with external partners. We are also focusing on resource businesses in fields where INPEX's unique subsurface technologies and know-how can be leveraged, such as the recovery of minerals and scarce resources required for the electrification of society. We are pursuing new initiatives towards the realization of a sustainable energy society.
Venture Investments
INPEX actively invests in start-up companies with innovative technologies and business models. Through venture capital investment, we accelerate innovation by incorporating new insights into our company while building partnerships, with the aim of constructing an ecosystem that grows together. We will continue to deepen our collaboration with promising start-up companies and continue to explore new business opportunities.
