Strengthening partnerships in Brazils offshore market

April 1, 2026

We recently joined Innovation Norway’s market visit to Rio de Janeiro from 9–13 March, together with a group of Norwegian tech and robotics companies. From our side, Sebastian Hennig and Sigmund Sevatdal represented Ixys.

Why Brazil?

The purpose of the delegation was to build connections between Norwegian and Brazilian companies within marine technology, especially around autonomous and remotely operated solutions.

We were part of a delegation that included Blueye, DeepOcean, Reach Subsea, Maritime Robotics, ScoutDI, Nortek and Innovation Norway.


Petrobas, Equinor, Prio, and Shell

We met with Petrobras, Equinor, Prio, and Shell, and got a much clearer picture of what it actually takes to succeed in this market.

In Macaé and Rio we also met potential partners and customers who provided knowledge about local needs and how our expertise in real-time remote control technology can add value for Brazilian companies.

To be able to succeed in the Brazilian market, you need to be here, meet people, and show that you are serious, says Sebastian Hennig, Commercial Director at Ixys.

We came back with a better understanding of the market, stronger connections, and a clearer view of where we can add value with our real-time remote control technology.

We gained a clearer understanding of the market along with valuable connections that have the potential to develop into long-term collaborations, according to Sigmund Sevatdal, BDM at Ixys.
