Our products and solutions are used in planes, cars, smart and medical devices, batteries, in mineral and oil extraction, among many other applications promoting sustainability. Our lightweighting materials enhance cleaner mobility, our formulations optimize the use of resources, and our performance chemicals improve air and water quality.
Solvay has developed and commercialized outstanding chemical products for a wide range of industries for more than 150 years. In that same time, technology has evolved by leaps and bounds. As digital technologies continue to develop, they also transform business environments. To address these new challenges and to support the digital transformation, SBS created the Digital Studio: Business experts, developers, designers and users co-create, in a stimulating environment, innovative solutions that improve the way people work or redesign user/customer experience (YOU, Solvay Way, Customer Engagement Platform, …)
These new spaces are designed to help teams to imagine and develop digital projects in a creative, agile and more collaborative way. During 6 to 12 weeks of incubation, the Digital Studio guarantees the development of a digital product with sufficient features for a first release: the MVP (Minimum Viable Product).
We have digital studios located in Brussels, Paris, Princeton and Singapore. For our Brussels's digital studio, we are currently looking for a passionate “Studio Manager" to manage the project pipeline, find new interesting opportunities, support and facilitate the teams involved in those initiatives, promote what the digital studio is for and the projects being developed.
