iUP
The future is ON.
Together, we turn integration into solutions for the world.
iUP is the energy and innovation hub from IBP (Brazilian Institute of Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels).
Our proposal consists in creating connections in the technology and innovation field, attracting young talents and students to the Oil & Gas sector. In addition, we aim at promoting actions and new attitudes to put Brazil on the map as a worldwide reference.
OUR PILLARS OF IDEAS AND ACTION:
ENERGY TRANSITION
The process of building a new future involves the energy sector, and the oil and gas industry plays a key role in this transformation. Decarbonization and reduction of gas emissions and offshore wind energy are some of our key points of discussion and implementation.
TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
This is what will especially transport us to new realities. Whether through the unprecedented combination of already existing solutions, or the invention of new technologies, now is the time to invest in research, development and experimentation, as well as coordinated action.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The more diverse the sources of ideas, the more complementary and comprehensive the solutions. As a fundamental point for growth and innovation, Diversity & Inclusion is consolidated as a strategic tool to open the eyes of partners, provoke new points of view and enrich our collaborative process.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Facing challenges the size of the world and making our organizations increasingly sustainable and disruptive would not be possible without the progress of the digital revolution in recent years. And this is only the beginning. Our future is ON.
