The Vale Technology Institute (ITV) was established in 2009 as a non-profit organization. The institute aims to co-ordinate Vale's science and technology actions, emphasising long-term research projects in partnership with Brazilian and international scientific communities. Through the initiative, Vale plans to expand its scientific research output and boost technology-based economic development in Brazil, as well as generating knowledge to drive socio-economic, environmental and mining development.
