It is part of the Stadtwerke Greifswald group, which has supplied the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald and its surrounding area with energy and drinking water since 1991.

The Innovationsgesellschaft is the group entity associated with innovation activities, complementing the core operating companies. The parent group serves roughly 70,000 customers and employs more than 291 staff, operating a fleet that includes electric vehicles and maintaining round-the-clock supply security. It also runs a staff canteen and offers vocational training, having been recognized repeatedly by the IHK Neubrandenburg as a top training enterprise. As a subsidiary within a wholly municipal group, the company is not publicly listed. Its role is to help the Stadtwerke Greifswald group develop and implement new services and technologies in the energy and utility sector, in line with broader municipal and regional energy-transition goals.

Stadtwerke Greifswald Innovationsgesellschaft mbH is part of the Stadtwerke Greifswald group, whose operating history dates to 1991, when the municipal utility began securing the supply of energy and drinking water for the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald and its surrounding region. Over more than three decades the group has grown into a multi-service municipal provider covering electricity, gas, district heating, water, wastewater, public transport and leisure infrastructure. The parent group states that it serves around 70,000 customers and employs more than 291 people, and it emphasizes round-the-clock security of supply as a core obligation. The Innovationsgesellschaft itself appears as a dedicated group entity for innovation, reflecting the utility sector's increasing focus on energy transition, digitalization and new service models. While the exact founding date of this specific subsidiary is not documented in the available evidence, its existence is recorded in public company data as a German company. It operates within the framework of the wholly municipal Stadtwerke Greifswald group, which is owned by the city of Greifswald. In recent years the group has highlighted sustainability measures such as a fleet including 13 electric vehicles, 12 of which receive European Union funding, and it continues to invest in training and workforce development. In 2024 the parent group received the "TOP-Ausbildungsbetrieb" award from the IHK Neubrandenburg for the tenth time, underscoring its role as a major local employer and training provider. The Innovationsgesellschaft contributes to this broader municipal mission by supporting innovation-oriented activities within the group.
