Cardano Foundation and Petrobras Forge Partnership in Blockchain Education

The Cardano Foundation has unveiled a blockchain education initiative in collaboration with Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned energy giant. Petrobras has partnered with Cardano to implement a blockchain education program with the objective of advancing the understanding and adoption of blockchain technologies.

In partnership with Petrobras University, Petrobras, the Cardano Foundation will educate its 45,000 employees. Through the curriculum, employees will gain a comprehensive understanding of blockchain technology's transformative potential within the energy sector.

The scope of the program is expansive, covering a diverse range of blockchain use cases and applications. To kick off the initiative, Cardano conducted two workshops in the metaverse, shedding light on blockchain regulations in Brazil and the global landscape. 

Participants who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate, marking their proficiency in blockchain education.

In a unique twist, the first 500 individuals to complete the training will be rewarded with nonfungible tokens (NFTs), a collaboration between Cardano and the Petrobras Education Board. Each dynamic NFT will reflect each participant's milestones and progress throughout the training, serving as a personalized digital tracker and retrospective showcase.

Partnership in Alignment with Cardano's Strategic Objectives

The collaboration aligns with one of Cardano's core five-year objectives, unveiled in 2021. With a strategic focus on fortifying ties with Fortune 500 companies, Cardano aims to promote diversity in on-chain activities and expand the application of blockchain technology across a wide array of industries.

Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard underscores the significance of this partnership, stating,

"Our collaboration with Petrobras highlights both the growing demand for blockchain education in the enterprise sector and the expanding global influence of the Cardano Foundation."
