The SOCAR WIN Open Innovation Program has officially opened its application process for startups, scale-ups, and technology companies. The initiative is led by SOCAR in partnership with Viveka, aiming to integrate external technological solutions into the energy company's operational framework.
Participants will have the chance to collaborate with SOCAR business units to validate their solutions through funded Proof of Concept projects. The program focuses on testing technologies within live industrial environments to facilitate potential commercial deployment and long-term partnerships.
The program covers several key areas, including production enhancement, efficiency, business excellence, health and safety, Industry 4.0, low-carbon economy, and clean energy. Companies with solutions outside these specific categories are also invited to apply if their technology addresses industrial challenges.
Interested companies must submit their applications by the deadline of 22 September 2026. The program is specifically designed for businesses that have already progressed beyond the initial idea stage and possess solutions ready for real-world testing.
