Cardano Partners with Brazil’s leading oil company Petrobras for blockchain education in the energy sectorThe Cardano Foundation has joined forces with Petrobras, Brazil’s leading state-owned oil company. The collaboration aims to provide comprehensive blockchain education to Petrobras’ vast workforce of 45,000 employees and delve into potential use cases within the energy industry.
Cardano blockchain education workshops for Petrobras employees
The Cardano Foundation will spearhead blockchain education workshops for Petrobras employees, leveraging its Cardano Academy content, which will be seamlessly integrated into Petrobras University. The program encompasses a broad spectrum of blockchain applications and use cases, fostering a deeper understanding among participants.
Also, the blockchain has introduced a unique element to the training program to incentivize and recognize the participants’ commitment. The first 500 participants will receive nonfungible tokens (NFTs), collaboratively crafted with the Petrobras Education Board. These NFTs will dynamically evolve, reflecting individual progress and milestones achieved during the blockchain training, serving as a digital testament to their accomplishments.
This collaboration aligns seamlessly with one of Cardano’s pivotal five-year objectives, unveiled in 2021. The Cardano Foundation strategically focuses on strengthening relationships with Fortune 500 companies, a mission underscored by this partnership with Petrobras. The initiative aims to broaden diversity in on-chain activities and expand blockchain applications across a spectrum of industries.
Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard emphasizes the significance of this partnership, stating, “Our partnership with Petrobras—a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest public companies in the world—highlights both the appetite from enterprise for blockchain education as well as the growing reach of the Cardano Foundation and its mission.”
Empowering through education: A joint mission
The Cardano Foundation and Petrobras share a common goal of empowerment through education, with blockchain literacy at the forefront of their joint mission. Petrobras acknowledges the importance of education in harnessing the power of blockchain for new use cases within the energy sector. This collaboration is a bold step forward in realizing innovative applications of blockchain technology.
Closing the gap between blockchain technology and enterprise, this partnership sets the stage for further initiatives aimed at enhancing blockchain understanding through employee education. As the Cardano Foundation and Petrobras work together to educate and explore new use cases, the impact of this collaboration is poised to resonate within the energy sector and beyond.
