Braskem Labs Challenge, a program that seeks proposals to solve Braskem's internal challenges, is reaching in its next phase with the choice of 24 startups, of a total of 130 subscriptions. After a careful analysis by the company's teams and the Braskem Labs Challenge team, 13 companies were selected for logistics challenges, and 11 for the challenges of administrative solutions. Now, the startups classified will have the chance to present their proposals on a Pitch Day, at Braskem's headquarters in São Paulo, in January 2018. Following it, the best ones will participate in an immersion with the respective areas and will design a pilot project, which can be implemented in Braskem's operations. Held with the support of Innoscience, the program is part of the Braskem Labs platform ( www.braskemlabs.com ).
