Innovation is part of our DNA! This applies when we look for new solutions, when we create a new technology and when we apply new ways of working. Connections for Innovation is a clear example of what we are talking about. Through it, we promote a series of initiatives to intensify our integration with science and technology institutions, universities, startups, companies from different sectors and entrepreneurial researchers.

We are talking about an environment of real opportunities for the market, whether to learn about Petrobras' main challenges, present and technically discuss potential solutions, or to jointly develop technologies, taking advantage of the know-how of our specialists, our laboratories, and our experimental park.

A inovação na Petrobras é um motor movido à energia

Dentro da nossa empresa, o desenvolvimento de soluções tecnológicas é movido pelo nosso Motor de Inovação, um modelo de governança feito para impulsionar a Petrobras em direção ao futuro. Ele conta, ao todo, com três pilares.

1º pilar - Programa de inovação aberta

O primeiro pilar é o já citado Conexões para Inovação, que expande nossos horizontes e abre portas para novas mentes brilhantes ao oferecer programas de inovação aberta em parceria com startups, universidades e outros tipos de empresas. Com ele, estudamos e testamos modelos de acesso por meio de editais, em diferentes módulos.

2º pilar - Tecnologias, conhecimentos e recursos-chave

O Programa fomenta nossos Centros de Excelência, que disseminam temas, tecnologias e conhecimentos relevantes por todas as áreas de negócio da empresa. Entre os diversos Centros existentes, vale destacar o Centro de Pesquisas, Desenvolvimento e Inovação (Cenpes) e os recentes Centro de Excelência em Analytics e Inteligência Artificial e Centro de Excelência em Robotização e Digitalização (CERD).

3º pilar - Gestão e execução do portfólio de inovação

No meio disso tudo estão os os Times de Inovação, responsáveis por fazer esse Motor girar ao gerir e desenvolver na prática todos os projetos de nosso portfólio de inovação.
