Calls remain open until the 29th and highlight technological solutions and trends in the energy transition within the oil and gas sector
Initially, Ocyan announced the opening of registrations for startups with projects focused on innovation in the oil and gas sector. Additionally, the deadline remains until the 29th, as informed by the company itself. Thus, the initiative reinforces the company’s role as an active agent in the innovation ecosystem, according to institutional data released by Ocyan.
Furthermore, three startups will be selected to participate in the fifth edition of Innovation Day, an event that brings together professionals and companies from the sector. Subsequently, the chosen ones will present their solutions in a pitch format, increasing visibility with potential clients and strategic partners.
Focus on technology and energy transition
At the same time, startups will be able to submit projects in two main areas. On one hand, technological solutions, such as:
-
Petrobras announces new oil discovery in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin and reinforces Brazil’s prominence with high-quality reserves that can increase production and energy revenues.
-
Alert in the fuel market: Analysts and a former director of ANP warn that oil prices may worsen in the coming months due to global instability.
-
Ocyan brings executives and digital solutions to Macaé Energy 2026 and highlights offshore expansion with Nexio and a new base in Macaé.
-
Petrobras advances 4.6% with rising oil prices and the dollar, reigniting the debate on macro risks, pricing policy, and fiscal impact in Brazil.
- Robotics
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Asset management
- Asset integrity
- Predictive maintenance
On the other hand, proposals aligned with energy transition trends will also be evaluated, including:
- Energy efficiency
- Industrial decarbonization
- Use of artificial intelligence for optimization
In this sense, the selection seeks projects with the potential to transform the O&G sector. Thus, the company reinforces its innovation strategy applied to the industry.
Event will be held with support from Nexio
Additionally, in this edition, Innovation Day will be held in partnership with Nexio, a hub for digital solutions and technologies launched by Ocyan in 2024. Still, the initiative was developed in conjunction with the consulting firm EloGroup, as informed by the company.
Consequently, the event enhances integration between startups and large companies. Therefore, it creates a favorable environment for business and technological development.
History of innovation and proven results
On the other hand, the event integrates a broader set of initiatives from the company. Among them, the Ocyan Waves program stands out, responsible for mapping more than 800 startups to date.
Moreover, more than 30 pilot projects have already been executed, with 80% advancing to contracting, according to institutional information from Ocyan. Thus, the numbers indicate a high success rate for the developed solutions.
Still, the company’s open innovation platform operates with two main programs:
- Ocyan Waves Challenge
- Ocyan Waves Booster
Thus, both accelerate the connection between startups and real demands of the oil and gas industry.
Recognition in the open innovation ecosystem
Finally, based on these results, Ocyan has been recognized since 2021 among the 100 companies that best relate to startups. This ranking is organized by 100 Open Startups, a reference in the sector.
Additionally, in 2024, the company reached the top 5 in the oil and gas ranking for the fifth consecutive year. Consequently, it consolidated its position as one of the leading companies in open innovation in the country.
Then, in 2025, Ocyan was also included in the Champions of the Decade ranking, which celebrates ten years of the award, according to 100 Open Startups.
Thus, by opening new registrations and strengthening existing programs, the company expands its role in the technological development of the sector — and reinforces its connection with startups seeking space in the oil and gas market.
