Braskem Labs becomes a platform and launches challenges
With registrations open until October 30, Braskem Labs Challenge, one of the new programs of the platform, will be selecting startups to run a pilot, based on the challenges launched, in industrial units or administrative areas of Braskem in order to help the company improve its processes.
Created in 2015 as an incentive program for entrepreneurs, Braskem Labs has grown, matured and become a homonymous platform encompassing three programs to strengthen the relationship of Braskem, the largest petrochemical company in the Americas, with entrepreneurs at different stages of development.
With registrations open until October 30, Braskem Labs Challenge, one of the new programs of the platform, will be selecting startups to run a pilot, based on the challenges launched, in industrial units or administrative areas of Braskem in order to help the company improve its processes.
"This is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to test their solutions in real-life situations in an innovative and sustainable environment that allows an interaction with experienced professionals and insights that can refine their solution," said Luiz Gustavo Ortega, Sustainable Development leader at Braskem.
Startups that have a tested and validated MVP (Minimum Viable Product), or even whose product or service is already available in the market, may participate. Additionally, the solutions offered should adhere to at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals (ODS).
The 2017 edition of Braskem Labs Challenge features 10 Challenges divided between the areas of logistics and administrative solutions. After a pre-selection, the startups participate in a Demo Day with internal Braskem teams, when those that will have the opportunity to perform a pilot with the company will be selected. The startup whose pilot succeeds may become one of Braskem's suppliers. The program is promoted in partnership with the innovation consulting firm Innoscience.
The signup period is open until October 30 at www.braskemlabs.com/challenge . Learn more about the challenges below:
