The pursuit of innovation and new technologies in the energy sector receives a significant boost from the joint initiative of Unicamp and Petrobras.
The institutions announced a free, public webinar to present the details of the training program for the Enfuse project.
Scheduled for November 5, 2026, at 5 p.m., the virtual meeting will serve as a comprehensive guide for entrepreneurs interested in submitting their proposals.

During the online event, participants will gain a detailed view of the public calls and the main technology interest areas mapped by major sector companies.
In addition to outlining general rules, the meeting will cover eligibility criteria, detailing exactly who can participate and what the selection process steps are.
This initial alignment is crucial for entrepreneurs to prepare their proposals with greater precision and strategic alignment.
