We’ve refreshed our name, identity and mission to focus on what Bax does best – making ideas happen. We provide changemakers all across Europe with the expertise, strategies and funding they need to advance solutions for society’s most pressing challenges.
With our renewed identity comes a renewed energy and purpose. Everyone at Bax shares that purpose: to help organisations solve society’s problems with Europe-leading pilots and collaborations.
– Sebastiaan van Herk, CEO of Bax
Over my 17 years at Bax, the need for market-ready innovations has grown significantly. Bax’s role bringing together state-of-the-art technology, policies and business models, millions of euros, and years of dedicated innovation management, has never been more important for societal change.
– Rolf Bastiaanssen, Chief Growth Officer at Bax
Making ideas happen
Our new mission statement can be summarised in three words: Make ideas happen.
Our 1,200 clients and 2,000 partners all over Europe are already living this. Some of our partners are reimagining global battery supply chains. Others are making their cities green, healthy spaces to live in. Others are leading the energy transition with city-wide action planning and new renovation techniques.
In all these initiatives, we are supporting committed changemakers to lead real change in their city, industry, or community. Through first-of-a-kind pilots and cross-sector collaborations that cover a continent and beyond, we pull together Europe’s resources and expertise into the first practical steps for ideas that change the way we live, move and build.
