Primatec completes strategic exit with sale to Ocyan S/A
The Primatec Fund, notorious for its role in seed capital and investments in Brazilian technology startups, announced the total sale of its shares in the Paraná company Vidya Technology to Ocyan S/A, a renowned company in the oil and gas sector. This strategic movement is part of the Fund's management plan, aiming to invest in early stages, implement good governance and assist in the growth of startups, culminating in sales to strategic partners that boost the companies' development.
Primatec’s innovative journey
Founded in 2015, Primatec is recognized for its focus on investments in innovative companies, emerging from incubators and national technology parks. With a diversified 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 the attention of Ocyan, with whom it had already had commercial relations since 2019. The integration of Vidya's solutions with Ocyan's innovative projects promises to be a milestone in the sector of technology and innovation.
The partnership with Ocyan and the future
“Vidya represents a classic example of Brazilian technological innovation, with the potential to solve global challenges”, highlights Robert Binder, president of Antera Gestão de Recursos, manager of the Primatec Fund. On the other hand, Rodrigo Lemos, vice-president of Ocyan, highlights the enthusiasm for this new phase of the partnership and the opportunities it brings for both companies, reinforcing Ocyan's commitment to innovation and continuous improvement of its operations.

Managed by Anter Gestão de Recursos, Primatec stands out in the venture capital scenario in Brazil, with Brain Ventures as an operational consultant.
Ocyan's trajectory in the market
Ocyan, with its vast experience and operational excellence in the oil, gas and clean energy sector, presents a robust business culture, emphasizing security and ESG commitments. The company offers integrated solutions for the offshore industry, including oil production, subsea construction and offshore maintenance services. Furthermore, Ocyan maintains strategic partnerships, such as with Mota-Engil, and participation in the offshore drilling segment.
This strategic move between Primatec and Ocyan highlights not only the strength of seed capital and investment in technological startups in Brazil, but also the potential for growth and innovation in the oil and gas sector, promising significant transformations in the national and international market.
