Brazilian deep tech ALTAVE accelerates U.S. and Middle East expansion while exploring opportunities in Spain

Brazilian deep tech company ALTAVE is accelerating international expansion with a phased strategy prioritizing the United States and the Middle East while evaluating Spain as an entry point into Europe’s critical infrastructure markets. The industrial AI scale-up reports sustaining approximately 70% year-over-year ARR growth for three consecutive years, operates in six countries and generates 16% of its revenue internationally. ALTAVE serves 44 enterprise clients across 166 active sites, counting blue‑chip operators such as ARO Drilling, ARAMCO, TotalEnergies, Transocean, Valaris, EXPRO, Petrobras and Vale among its customers, and is preparing a structured growth round to accelerate global expansion and advance its computer vision roadmap.

“Our mission is to convert operational data into intelligence that drives safer, more efficient and more sustainable operations,” said Diego Canavezi, CFO of ALTAVE.

Context and technology

Founded by engineers from Brazil’s Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA), ALTAVE builds a vertically integrated platform that combines hardware infrastructure with advanced computer vision models designed for regulated, high‑risk industrial environments. The company positions its stack for multi‑year, multi‑site deployments where reliability and compliance are essential, targeting oil & gas, energy, mining and other critical infrastructure sectors.

• Core capabilities include real‑time automated risk detection, occupational safety compliance (PPE and unsafe behavior monitoring), early fire and environmental anomaly detection, railway track and linear infrastructure monitoring, and perimeter and airspace surveillance.
• ALTAVE holds 14 patents and certifications, including CE marking, and is accredited as a Strategic Defense Company by Brazil’s Ministry of Defense; it is also a supplier to Petrobras.
• The firm emphasizes an enterprise recurring revenue model supported by long‑term contracts and multi‑site rollouts across offshore platforms, industrial plants and other critical assets, a structure it describes as capital‑efficient for high‑value industrial markets.
• To reinforce local operations in priority regions, ALTAVE is deploying dedicated enterprise account executives and a hybrid model that combines direct presence with strategic partnerships, and already has active projects in both the U.S. and the Middle East.

Outlook

ALTAVE plans to use the 4YFN Barcelona conference (March 2–5, co‑located with MWC Barcelona) as a staging ground to advance strategic partnerships and new commercial pilots in Europe; the company was selected by ApexBrasil to join the official Brazilian delegation. Management says the combination of recurring enterprise contracts, high‑value industrial use cases and a clear international pipeline makes the business attractive to growth‑focused investors as it readies the structured funding round.

As regulatory demands and operational complexity grow across global energy and critical infrastructure markets, ALTAVE is betting that its domain‑specific computer vision stack, blue‑chip client base and compliance credentials will support multi‑region scale.
