The world’s energy challenges unfold on long timelines, stretching across generations. Addressing them requires sustained innovation, driven by people with curiosity, creativity, and collaborative instincts — many of whom are still children today.

In today’s fast-paced world of innovation and transformation, staying ahead means more than just delivering high-quality, world-class technology and energy systems. It means investing in the people behind them.

When a company’s people grow, the business grows too. That’s why learning, development, and personal growth are important to GE Vernova. Its technical academies take employees on a learning journey through bespoke training programs that feature technical experts, classroom training, and hands-on opportunities.

In 2025, as GE Vernova celebrated one full year as a standalone company, the company took ideas that were only recently on the drafting board and put them into action. From small modular nuclear reactors to advanced grid software to a high-voltage superhighway on the Baltic Sea, a new world of innovations is emerging to electrify and decarbonize the world. Take a look at how 2025 was the year GE Vernova began making the future come alive today.

Last month, world leaders met in Belém, Brazil, at the UN’s COP30 summit to share their plans to implement solutions to address climate change. The next week, 5,300 miles away in Johannesburg, South Africa, at the annual summit of the B20 (or Business 20), a forum of the G20 for the global business community, leaders focused on a similar theme: “Inclusive Growth and Shared Prosperity Through Global Cooperation.” It’s a subject close to the heart of GE Vernova’s leadership, of which there were several members at both conferences.

Statistics reflect what leaders like Yogini Parkhi know from experience. At a key moment in many girls’ lives, they’re nudged away from interests like math and science. “I know it happened to me growing up in India,” says Parkhi, the engineering leader for GE Vernova’s Grid OS Data Fabric and Connect business. She saw the same thing happen with her daughter years later in the States. “When she was 10 she could solve a Rubik’s Cube in 50 seconds,” Parkhi recalls. “But she pulled away from puzzles and math competitions because of social pressure telling her these were ‘boy things.’”
