Focus on innovation

Building the energy grid of tomorrow requires collaboration, innovation and investment in cutting-edge technologies. At Ameren, we are leaning forward with several initiatives. One such initiative is an accelerator program focused on identifying and accelerating the implementation of advanced energy technologies from start-up companies and entrepreneurs from all over the world.

"As new energy technologies rapidly advance, it is critical that we take bold steps today to better position Ameren to meet our customers' future energy needs and expectations."- Warner Baxter, chairman, president and CEO of Ameren Corporation

Ameren CSR Accelerator

The Ameren Accelerator is a unique public-private partnership with the University of Missouri System, UMSL Accelerate and Capital Innovators, one of the leading technology accelerators in the country. The program not only attracted over 200 applications from 31 countries, but also enabled Ameren to pilot and test several technologies from participating companies, facilitate interaction between our co-workers and these entrepreneurs, create jobs in the St. Louis region, and attract talented students to the energy sector.
