Sven Grave - Head of Innovation Management at Wilo

As Head of Innovation Management, Sven Grave is responsible for the subject of trends at Wilo.

It is much more interesting to learn more about the trends and technologies in other industries, too. Something could emerge there that will become relevant for us in the future or will show us a solution to a problem that we are currently working on.
Sven Grave, Head of Innovation Management at Wilo
A major challenge is in correctly categorizing the trends. On the one hand, we want to generate new, disruptive ideas. On the other hand, the trends and ideas are supposed to be close to our business area.
Sven Grave, Head of Innovation Management at Wilo

The world we live in and all its developments ... exciting times are ahead.

Wilo readily admits that it’s the innovation culture that made the company what it is today: one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-tech pumps and pump systems. It is therefore second nature for Wilo to monitor trends and the way they influence various aspects of life. After all, whoever keeps a close eye on trends today creates the right basis for developing the ideas and innovations of tomorrow.
