DX VENTURES
This is our Corporate Venture Capital initiative for investing in start-ups and scale-ups with high short-term growth potential and long-term value generation.
Through this investment fund, we map and monitor the macrotrends of transformation and innovation in the construction, renovation, and decoration sectors in Brazil and around the world.
With these investments, we boost our current businesses, foster the development of relevant new ventures, and open up new growth opportunities for Dexco—aligned with our strategic purpose of offering Solutions for Better Living.

IMAGINE
An Intrapreneurship Program that identifies, empowers, recognizes, and rewards Dexco employees. Through this program, we encourage intrapreneurs to suggest ideas, implement solutions, and achieve results. IMAGINE is an acronym for Ideas Plus Action Generates Innovation in the Company.
OPEN DEXCO
Open innovation and engagement program with the entrepreneurial ecosystem. In this program, we map the main pain points, opportunities, and challenges faced by the business and corporate departments that can generate value for Dexco. Based on these challenges, we seek and co-create solutions with the entrepreneurial ecosystem, hiring startups and scale-ups from Brazil and abroad to solve these challenges through a pilot project.

OPEN SUPPLIER
Our innovation program with Dexco suppliers.
This program is an open channel for our partners to share innovation ideas—whether incremental, radical, or disruptive—that can generate value for the supply chain.
We seek opportunities for co-creation, working together to transform challenges into solutions, generating and sharing business value.
We also map day-to-day challenges to develop practical solutions aligned with Dexco’s strategy.
One of our main goals is to lead the transformation of the construction, decoration, and renovation materials sector. We want to enhance our customers’ consumer journey and improve the efficiency of our operations. Therefore, we have joined forces with leading companies in the sector to form the Construliving Hub at Cubo Itaú.
Together with the hub, we have the mission of fostering strategic connections to develop solutions that can bring more innovation to the construction industry, which is known for being one of the least innovative.
Cubo Construliving represents an opportunity to access startups not only from Latin America, but from around the world, in addition to participating in events and programs within the innovation ecosystem.
