iUP Innovation Connections – iUP’s innovation hub at ROG.e 2024, one of the world’s leading energy events – is now open for registration. With its own program, it aims to present the latest innovations in the oil, gas, and energy sector to companies, strengthening the development of innovative solutions, fostering partnerships and investments, and exploring challenges and opportunities.

The space will feature plenary sessions, which will include debates and presentations on trends, cases and demands from the energy sector; keynote sessions, in which CEOs and market leaders will present their visions for the industry and the innovation ecosystem; masterclasses with experts and major names in the sector on technology, innovation, investment attraction and startup management; and exhibitions and startups.

Other activities planned include start-up pitches – the best of which will compete for five spots at CERA Week Innovation Agora 2025 – and the Academic Competition, a “sports day” through which students can contribute to the development of ideas and innovations for the O&G industry, with the challenge: “Long Duration Energy Storage”.

Names such as Alfredo Renault, CEO of COPPE’s Low Carbon Technology Solutions Center; Isabel Waclawek, Director of RD&I at TotalEnergies; Maiza Goulart, Executive Manager at CENPES; Patricia Grabowsky, Executive Manager of People and Innovation at Ocyan; Paulo Costa, CEO of Cubo; and André Clark, VP of Siemens Energy Brazil and LATAM are already confirmed on the program.
