Petrobras Continues Investing in Internal Startup Projects Aiming for Value Gains in the Upcoming Years

The Petrobras has been investing in recent years in the Internal Startups program, which aims to enable innovations conceived by the company’s employees to generate value, maximizing results and reducing costs for the state company

The current edition of the program focuses on financial gains, with 88 internal teams submitting their proposals, but only 12 of them were selected in this stage of the program. The selected proposals shared the ability to generate value for Petrobras. This stage consists of designs and experiments to validate their feasibility.

Petrobras used, as one of the main criteria for project selection, how much a given innovation project can generate in value for the company in the following years. The values ranged from R$ 50 million to over R$ 3 billion.

The selected projects receive a wide range of support to bring them to reality, such as financial and technological support, as well as mentoring from qualified professionals to make them happen: “The internal startups program is responsible for engaging employees, accelerating the culture of innovation within the company,” concludes Nicolás.

Petrobras had previously invested in earlier programs. The state company’s investment has already resulted in 22 internal startups, which are now in the acceleration stage. A total of 9 solutions that can be applied to the business have also already been created.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

A producer from Santa Catarina started with a poultry farm of just 7,500 birds in 1994 and three decades later manages 21 farms thanks to a simple strategy he learned early on.

More than €600,000 in gold hidden in pots and an “invisible” safe inside an old house turns a small French town into the stage for a discovery that reveals how entire fortunes can remain buried for decades without anyone noticing.

Japan enters the war with the Terra A1 drone priced at $2,000 and turns the math against Putin by taking down swarms of Iranian drones for a fraction of the cost.

Scientists made electrons flow like a frictionless liquid within graphene — the result violated a law of physics that had been in place for over a century by 200 times…

With 635 km, 441 stations, and driverless lines, the Shenzhen metro grows by 30 km per year and becomes a futuristic showcase that costs less than in the West.

Scientists have created a microscopic nanorobot that functions as an invisible cleaner, chasing bacteria with light, transporting microorganisms, and releasing each target at the exact point, in an advancement that could change diagnostics and treatments.

The government will pay R$ 1.20 for each liter of diesel that Brazil imports and for the first time in history requires distributors to reveal how much they profit — those who hide their margins will face fines of up to R$ 500 million…

Under kilometers of water, rock, and salt, Brazil hides a colossal wealth that led an official guide from the U.S. government to recognize the country as the owner of the largest ultra-deep oil reserves in the world.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.
