Innovation, a strategic priority for Navantia.
Innovation is a cornerstone of Navantia’s Operating Plan. As a systems integrator, we focus our innovation efforts on developing high value-added products and services for our clients, optimising how they are designed and manufactured, and managing their entire lifecycle to maximise availability through data- and model-based services.
Navantia’s innovation model is open and collaborative, integrating the entire ecosystem (clients, government bodies, universities, technology partners, startups, suppliers, etc.), driving its development and maximising the value proposition. Innovation is driven through strategic top-down initiatives that foster an innovative mindset and strengthen the company’s technological capabilities, while enhancing technology intelligence, knowledge management and agile commercialisation. The focus is on delivering tangible results for the business and strengthening our catalogue of products and services. Navantia is developing advanced capabilities and applying agile, collaborative ways of innovating through its network of centres of excellence (NAVANTIA COEX network) as the main drivers of innovation and hubs for attracting and developing talent.

Innovation
Innovation is one of the four pillars of Navantia’s Operating Plan (PON) Horizonte 5.0. The aim is to achieve competitive differentiation in key products and services, providing technological superiority for our strategic clients and delivering operational excellence to improve results. Innovation is the driving force behind sustainability and the energy transition. The Innovation Strategy, together with the Digital Strategy, is focused on:
Sustainable and hyperconnected ship
To deliver sustainable products with greater capacity to operate across multiple domains, more automated thanks to digital capabilities, and safer and more efficient for people to use. Our developments focus on advanced naval designs, with efficient and sustainable energy solutions that set benchmarks in safety and defence. Smart, cybersecure and hyperconnected, they provide new data-driven services for simulation and operational support.
Predictive maintenance and lifecycle
Maximising availability and reducing lifecycle costs through model- and data-based services.
Lowest-cost manufacturing
Manufacturing the same products at lower cost and in less time. With the Smart Factory and efficient, digitally enabled manufacturing centres, our people and the wider production ecosystem will be fully integrated and connected.
Energy transition
To contribute to the energy transition through offshore wind, hydrogen and other marine energies; developing cutting-edge offshore foundations and substations, as well as other marine energy solutions, together with next-generation hydrogen production systems.
