The Brazil-Texas Chamber of Commerce (BRATECC) selects Radix Engineering & Software for its first-ever Entrepreneur Award. BRATECC is a non-profit chamber in the U.S. advancing energy-related trade and investment between Brazil and the United States. The BRATECC awards celebrate companies from Brazil that have established offices and successful business cases with major clients in the U.S.
BRATECC established the awards in 2018. ExxonMobil Brazil President Carla Lacerda was named Person of the Year and Petrobras was selected as Company of the Year. In 2019, BRATECC added the Entrepreneur Award, honoring small- and medium-sized businesses. Radix was recognized for expanding its engineering, software, and OT/IT consulting business into new markets.
“To start a business in the U.S., where competition is strong, companies must be exceptional,” says Cid Silveira, BRATECC executive director. "Radix’ outstanding technology has been vital to their success. Since establishing a U.S. presence in 2013, Radix Engineering has grown substantially, adding transportation, pulp and paper and educational projects to its oil and gas and chemicals core business. Radix has been a key partner with BRATECC in strategizing how to grow its business in the U.S.”
The BRATECC awards ceremony will take place on Monday, March 9th, 2020. The date was selected to coincide with the CERAWeek energy event. The BRATECC awards will see 400 invitees from all over the world, including Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications and the first Brazilian astronaut trained by NASA, Minister Marcos Pontes, and Minister Tarcísio de Freitas, the Brazilian Minister of Infrastructure. 2019 Company of the Year Equinor and Décio Oddone, director-general of Agência Nacional de Petróleo (ANP) and 2019 Person of the Year will also be recognized during the event.
