Companies Can Present Solutions and Receive Support from Petrobras to Make Them a Reality

The registration for the 4th call of the Startups Module of the Petrobras Connections to Innovation Program has been extended by the state-owned company for a few more days. The registration was set to close on Wednesday, the 29th, but after the change, it will now end on Sunday, July 3rd.  

How the Startups Module of the Petrobras Program Works 

The project aims to create solutions for 30 challenges presented by the state-owned company. After the end of the selection, the startups will receive a cash amount that varies according to the complexity of the solution presented. The target audience of the program is startups, microenterprises, and small national companies.

The call for the startups module has a total amount of R$ 20 million, divided into seven technology verticals: robotics, carbon reduction, digital technologies, energy storage and generation, corrosion, geological modeling, and inspection technologies.

Benefits of the Program 

  • Technical mentorship from Petrobras for the development of the presented solution; 
  • Implementation opportunity; 
  • Business advisory and special support for implementation by SEBRAE and  
  • Financial support from the state-owned company for the project development. 

We are talking about a real opportunities environment for the market, whether to understand Petrobras’s main challenges, present and technically discuss potential solutions, or to jointly develop technologies, leveraging the know-how of our specialists, our laboratories, and our experimental park,” emphasizes the site of the project.

The amounts to be invested in the projects range from R$ 500 thousand to R$ 1.5 million. Throughout the program, companies will receive all the necessary support from the state-owned company and Sebrae, which participates in the project. The support ranges from physical-financial support or even guidance for increasing competitiveness and creating a business model.

The program arose from Petrobras’s interest in strengthening its relationship with the technological innovation universe. The state-owned company mapped the internal demands of the company to direct investments in startups. The project also aims to invest in projects that can be successfully applied in the oil and gas industry. 

Since the launch of the Petrobras Connections to Innovation Program, the project has already hosted a total of eight innovation modules, namely: Startups, Open Lab, Residents, Technological Partnerships, Technology Transfer, Solution Acquisition, Ignition, and Technological Orders.
