Third Edition of the Ocyan Waves Challenge Focuses on Solutions for Challenges and on Technologies for Creating New Activities for the Company
Rio de Janeiro, April 29, 2021 – Ocyan, which operates in the Oil & Gas sector, opens today (29) registration for startups to present innovative solutions for challenges proposed by the company. The selected startups will receive support for the development of a pilot project in loco and may become suppliers or partners of the company. Interested parties have until May 19 to access the information about the Ocyan Waves Challenge program and register their proposals on the website www.ocyanwaves.com.
“The Ocyan Waves is evolving. Since its launch two years ago, we have matured the program and now, in addition to looking for startups that present solutions for the challenges proposed by various areas of the company, we are seeking entrepreneurs who can develop solutions, together with our teams, related to activities adjacent to our current business,” explains Rodrigo Lemos, Director of Innovation and New Business.

“The evolution of our program was so positive that two of the challenges presented by the company’s areas for this year’s edition will be developed by startups that participated in the program in previous years and became our suppliers in ongoing projects. They are Vidya, from Paraná, and Delfos, from Ceará. Vidya will take on the challenge of solving the Difficulties in Monitoring FPSO Integrity, and Delfos with the challenge regarding Failure Prediction in Generators. Therefore, they will not be open for registration. This was an important step to show that startups have already managed to create an innovation flow for the oil and gas industry and continue to work with us,” celebrates Rodrigo Lemos.
Another novelty is the startup found for the challenge that seeks a Non-Intrusive Solution to Detect Leaks in Valves. Due to its higher complexity level, a search was conducted in other countries for the first time, and the Norwegian startup ConditionAll was the chosen one.
