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.
