100 Percent Inspiration: GE Vernova’s World-Changing Legacy of Innovation
With GE Vernova standing at the threshold of becoming a new purpose-built, energy-focused company in a few short weeks, it’s worth noting the inspiration for its name. It is, says the company, “a combination of ver, derived from verde and verdant to signal the greens and blues of the Earth, and nova, from the Latin novus, or ‘new.’” Novus also happens to be one of the roots of the word “innovation,” a pillar of GE from its founding. Innovation, then, is literally in the company’s DNA.

Faces of the Future: Meet 3 People Making a Difference at GE India as It Celebrates 120 Years of Innovation
When India faced growing electric power needs at the start of the 20th century, it turned to GE. The company was still young — founded by Thomas Edison less than ten years earlier — but already it was proving itself a leader in technology and innovation. GE partnered with the state of Mysore in southern India to build a hydroelectric dam at Shivanasamudra Falls, which began generating power in 1902. It was the first hydroelectric dam in all of Asia, and the first of hundreds of power generation projects of all kinds that GE and the people of India would go on to build together.
