Firjan began its participation today (May 5) at OTC Houston 2025, one of the world’s largest offshore energy exhibitions, held in the United States. Led by its president, Luiz Césio Caetano, the delegation of entrepreneurs from the state of Rio de Janeiro and specialists from the federation aims to promote Rio’s energy potential and present the main innovation and technology projects developed by Firjan SENAI SESI for the oil, gas, and offshore energy markets.

Through its presence at the event, Firjan reinforces the strategic role of the state of Rio de Janeiro as a national hub for energy and technology. “Rio stands out from the rest of the country not only as the leading oil and gas producing state but also for offering a wide range of opportunities in various energy markets. Firjan continuously supports these markets with technological development, especially through our Firjan SENAI and SESI Institutes of Technology and Innovation. And to attract investment and showcase our capabilities to the world, our partnership with ApexBrasil is essential,” stated Luiz Césio Caetano, President of Firjan.

Also part of the delegation are Eduardo Eugenio Gouvêa Vieira, President of Firjan’s Board of Directors; Raul Sanson, Vice President of the federation; Henrique Osório, Vice President of Firjan CIRJ; and Alexandre dos Reis, Executive Director of Firjan SENAI SESI. Over the course of the four-day conference, Firjan will be present at the Brazil Pavilion, organized by ApexBrasil in partnership with Abimaq, where it will showcase its international portfolio of training and technological development services offered by Firjan SENAI SESI.

The delegation is also taking part in the official opening of the Brazil Pavilion, as well as in the BRATECC Brazil Energy Meeting and technical visits to innovation and technology centers in Texas. Additionally, at the Brazil Pavilion, Firjan will present the latest update of the Energy Project Dashboard for the state of Rio de Janeiro.  “This update not only provides an overview of ongoing and potential energy projects, but also offers estimated data on R&D and innovation investments in the state of Rio—based on the R&D Clause from production contracts—highlighting key trends in these markets,” explains Karine Fragoso, Manager of Oil, Gas, Energy, and Maritime Affairs at Firjan.
