The Cardano Foundation is partnering with Petrobras, Brazil’s largest state-owned oil corporation, to offer blockchain education and investigate its use cases in the energy sector.
The foundation will conduct blockchain education seminars for Petrobras’ 45,000 employees, with Cardano Academy content accessible through Petrobras University, according to an announcement made on December 20.
Established in 1953, Petrobras is the preeminent corporate entity in Brazil and South America, boasting $124.7 billion in revenue as of 2022.
Interactive exams, blockchain applications, and use cases will comprise the program’s scope. In observance of the program’s inception, the Cardano Foundation facilitated two Metaverse-based seminars that examined blockchain regulations worldwide and in Brazil.
“Our collaboration with Petrobras, a Fortune 500 firm and one of the largest publicly traded companies globally, underscores the enterprise sector’s strong interest in blockchain education and the expansion of the Cardano Foundation’s influence and mission.”
“We are thrilled to form a partnership with Petrobras and eagerly anticipate educating them and exploring new applications for blockchain technology together,” said Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation.
A certificate will be awarded to participants who complete the blockchain instruction. In collaboration with the Petrobras Education Board, one hundred percent unique nonfungible tokens (NFTs) will be awarded to the initial 500 training attendees.
The NFTs will undergo dynamic changes to exhibit and document the individual accomplishments of each participant and their progress and milestones during the training. This will function as a digital tracker and showcase.
The Cardano Foundation is dedicated to promoting and sustaining the Cardano blockchain ecosystem. The foundation is instrumental in promoting the growth and acceptance of the platform.
Disclosing one of its primary five-year objectives in 2021, the partnership is consistent with Cardano’s. During that period, the foundation declared its intention to enhance alliances with Fortune 500 firms to broaden the scope of blockchain applications and increase the variety of activities permitted on the blockchain.
