Primatec Concludes Strategic Exit with Sale to Ocyan S/A
The Primatec Fund, known for its role in seed capital and investments in Brazilian tech startups, announced the total sale of its shares in the Paraná-based company Vidya Technology to Ocyan S/A, a renowned company in the oil and gas sector. This strategic move is part of the Fund’s management plan, aiming to invest in early-stage companies, implement good governance, and assist in the growth of startups, culminating in sales to strategic partners that drive the development of these companies.
The Innovative Journey of Primatec
Founded in 2015, Primatec is recognized for its focus on investments in innovative companies emerging from national incubators and technology parks. With a diverse portfolio of 14 companies, the Fund is currently in a divestment phase, where the case of Vidya Technology stands out. This company, specialized in asset performance management using Digital Twins, caught Ocyan’s attention, with whom it had maintained business relations since 2019. The integration of Vidya’s solutions with Ocyan’s innovative projects promises to be a milestone in the technology and innovation sector.
The Partnership with Ocyan and the Future
“Vidya represents a classic example of Brazilian technological innovation, with the potential to solve global challenges”, emphasizes Robert Binder, president of Antera Gestão de Recursos, the manager of the Primatec Fund. On the other hand, Rodrigo Lemos, vice president of Ocyan, highlights the excitement about this new phase of the partnership and the opportunities it brings for both companies, reinforcing Ocyan’s commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in its operations.
