At Vale, our purpose is to improve life and transform the future. We know we can’t accomplish that goal alone, so we’re working closely with society to create a better tomorrow. Vale Ventures is part of that journey.

 

Vale Ventures invests globally in pioneering early stage startups that bring big ideas and bold thinking to Vale’s long-term ambitions. By creating a portfolio of disruptive solutions to global mining and metals challenges, we contribute new business opportunities, insights, and knowledge to our company and society.

Together, we’re creating the future of sustainable mining and metals – and shared value for us all.​
 

Future focused

To help create the future of sustainable mining and metals, we’re focused on:

Decarbonization in the mining value chain

   

 Helping our company and customers substantially reduce their  emissions.

 

Zero-waste mining



Reducing waste and the environmental impact of mining while supporting the circular economy.

 

Energy transition metals



Accelerating the supply of essential metals to power the energy transition, and fostering new demand drivers.

 

Future of mining​



Investing in disruptive technologies that change how miners operate.


 

Rescheduling

Although we make substantial investments in promising startups, we’re worth more than the capital we provide.

Cancellation
In accordance with National Land Transport Regulatory Agency (ANTT) Resolution 5,974 of 2022, cancelations with up to six hours of notice give rise to a 5% penalty. Less than six hours before departure, cancellation is no longer permitted, although it is possible to reschedule to a different travel date, subject to a 20% penalty.
 


You can change your date of travel by up to one year, no later than one day before the new date. There is a penalty of 20% of the ticket price and it is billed three hours before the train leaves.

The value of Vale
Vale has subject matter experts and research centers focused on mining operations (iron ore, copper, nickel), logistics (rails and ports), exploration, and more. We share our knowledge with our entrepreneurs so that together, we can solve the industry’s biggest challenges.
Mining can only be transformed when we work together. That’s why we collaborate with our startups to test solutions and develop cutting-edge technologies, trials, and pilots.
From our headquarters and operations in Brazil to our locations in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, Vale spans the globe with established, world-class assets.
Vale has spent decades cultivating customer relationships built on trust and collaboration. The startups we invest in benefit from Vale’s vast network of contacts, partnerships, and vendors.
