The Innovative Meeting of OEC Drives Sector Transformation Through Knowledge Sharing

Companies aiming for leadership in their respective markets must have a culture of innovation deeply embedded in their practices. However, some sectors face greater challenges in materializing these innovations, especially the engineering and construction sector, where barriers such as distance from technological centers, limited access to technology, and a lack of familiarity with innovative methods can hinder the introduction of new construction approaches.

Innovation in OEC Culture

OEC – Engineering and Construction, however, has a commitment to innovation as a pillar of its organizational culture, which is constantly emphasized. From June 5 to 7, the company will hold the OEC IN Week 2023, an event intended to nourish this culture, allowing for the exchange of experiences among young members, veteran collaborators, and invited market experts. This event is exclusive to OEC members.

Events like this, according to Daniel Lepikson, responsible for Innovation at OEC, are crucial for the circulation of new initiatives within the company, and for capturing ideas and insights. At the same time, it promotes engagement and motivation, making the company attractive to young talents and increasing OEC’s permeability to opportunities brought by the Open Innovation ecosystem, generating more benefits for its clients.

The event will be grounded in three main pillars: Knowledge, Sharing, and Innovation. During the three days of the event, participants will be able to learn more about the OEC IN program, attend lectures on Open Innovation, and participate in discussions about new technologies and innovative methodologies in the market.

According to Lepikson, innovation is present in all daily activities of the company, from preparing a technical proposal, executing a task, or creating a new construction methodology.

OEC’s commitment to innovation is evident through its various achievements, such as winning the InovaInfra 2023 award for the project of Section 5 of the Alagoano Sertão Canal, developed in partnership with TPF Engenharia. Additionally, the company has been recognized for the tenth consecutive time with the Global Best Projects, an award given by ENR – Engineering News-Record, equivalent to the Oscar of global engineering.

Lepikson emphasizes that OEC has always been an innovative company and will continue to be through the constant effort to stay updated with new trends and integrated into the innovation and technology ecosystem, a strategy that is more crucial than ever to remain competitive in the market.
