About io

We are driven by the just cause of enabling a sustainable energy transition that not only addresses today’s needs but also secures tomorrow’s possibilities.

Overview

Our mission is to empower the energy transition by providing innovative and independent consulting services across all Front-End Loading (FEL) stages. We are committed to delivering value-driven solutions for greenfield and brownfield projects in the Energy, Chemicals & Resources, Energy Infrastructure and Industrial Decarbonisation sectors.

We are techno-economic project architects and FEL experts, guiding projects from concept to execution with an unwavering focus on certainty and decision quality. Our unique value lies in starting with the end in mind, understanding client outcomes and shaping every phase of the project development life cycle to deliver on those goals.

With deep expertise in systems engineering and FEL, we enable projects helping our clients achieve optimal project outcomes. We integrate domain expertise with proven practices and an inclusive approach, ensuring not just task completion but real value creation by anticipating client needs and pushing beyond the conventional.

Our ability to blend multidiscipline capabilities from upstream hydrocarbons to new energy technologies allows us to navigate complex industries while maintaining a lean, agile approach to execution.

Aspiring to be our clients’ trusted advisor across all FEL stages and beyond as an owner’s engineer, io is committed to building a resilient, sustainable and global business that supports our clients in achieving their long-term goals.

Equally, we are dedicated to fostering meaningful and rewarding careers for our team, ensuring their growth and success as we shape the future together.

Our parent companies

The foundation of io’s strength and independence.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott and Baker Hughes, io benefits from the vast resources, technology, and execution expertise of our parent companies. However, we operate with complete autonomy, allowing us to maintain the agility and independence needed to deliver tailored, high-value solutions.

By combining our unique techno-economic and strategic expertise with the advanced capabilities of McDermott and Baker Hughes, we ensure that every project can be executed with a high degree of certainty. This partnership enables us to drive impactful outcomes, giving our clients the confidence that the identified goals and objectives will be realised.

At io, we blend the best of both worlds – drawing upon the strength and experience of our parent companies while operating independently to provide bespoke solutions that meet the specific needs of each project.
