For the COVID-19 Challenge, Vale has been selecting the projects that will have the company’s support to tackle the coronavirus. In total 1,858 proposed solutions have been submitted to the initiative launched by Vale in partnership with Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein and the Mater Dei Health Network. Due to the high number of applicants, the final date for disclosing the results was postponed to May 8. During this period, Vale may contact the proposing institutions to request additional documentation from the registration e-mail.

The purpose of this challenge is to become a catalyst for solutions that minimize the impacts of COVID-19 on our society through open innovation. Support will be provided through funding or by connecting partners to enable implementation of such solutions within 15 days. The investment will be up to US$1 million.
