How to engage with us

Startup Challenge

Startup Scouting
What you have
A solution that can address real business challenges at ABB, within electrification, motion or automation. It is proven in practice, with pilots, proof-of-concepts or customers already in place.
Your IP and business strategy are clear, and ideally you have raised a seed round. You are a registered company, ready to do business!
What you get
Become part of SynerLeap’s pipeline: the startups we actively keep in view for opportunities across ABB. Our role is to match the right innovation to ABB’s real business challenges, so when one comes up, we look to you!
The aim is to bring startups into real pilots and proof-of-concept projects that create value for ABB. It’s your chance to show what you can do, opening doors to commercial partnership, strategic investment or acquisition.
Get on ABB´s radar
SynerLeap is ABB’s open innovation platform. Most of our work is targeted: we scout for specific things ABB is looking for. But great startups don’t always show up exactly when we’re looking, so we keep an open radar for startups we haven’t met yet.
This isn’t an application, and there’s no fee. Adding your company makes it visible to our scouting team. When something ABB is working on lines up with what you do, we reach out.
We won’t promise a timeline, a meeting, or a project, and we won’t send you a yes or no. Think of it like a talent pool: you’re telling ABB you’re worth knowing, not applying for a specific role. If there’s no match today, you stay on our radar for when there is.
