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.
