Our Commitment to Sport
At Vector, we deeply understand the benefits of sports. It is not just a way to maintain physical health, but also a fundamental pillar for mental well-being, self-discipline, and self-confidence. For us, sports practice goes beyond the individual. It is a means of socialization and building a stronger and more united community.
Therefore, we strongly encourage sports practice, first and foremost among our own employees. We believe that, by promoting sports, we are fostering healthy values and principles, essential for the personal and professional development of each member of our team.
However, our sponsorship initiatives and support for athletes have the main purpose of providing opportunities to new and promising sports talents who, due to lack of resources, often find themselves unable to shine. And what we most desire is to encourage them to develop their full potential as high-performance athletes.
Strengthening Communities Through Sport
Support and Sponsorship
Our support for sport transcends the activities of our directors. We extend this passion to the community, supporting and sponsoring sporting events that resonate with our values. We firmly believe in the power of sport as a catalyst for revealing and stimulating the best human qualities, bringing unparalleled benefits to the lives of all involved.
Our involvement is not limited to one modality; it spans various forms of sporting expression. However, in 2023, we placed a special focus on cycling, a discipline that challenges both body and mind, promoting endurance, strategy, and teamwork.
Passion and Dedication: Our Journey in Sport
Sport is part of our DNA. Vector’s founders not only lead in the business world, but also show a passion for sport in their personal lives. They are active in the sports community, participating in events such as the traditional São Silvestre international race in São Paulo. This race, which takes place at the turn of the year, is not just a competition, but a symbol of persistence and overcoming.
In addition to running, our directors are dedicated to other sports. One is an enthusiast of beach tennis, bringing the energy and tactics of the game to the work environment. Another, with a background in triathlon, divides his time between running and cycling, actively participating in challenges and competitions. This diversity of sports interests reflects our multifaceted approach to business.
Our Sponsorship of the Shark Byke Team
One of our most significant initiatives in the world of cycling was the sponsorship of the Shark Byke Team, based in Vila Velha, ES, Brazil. With around 40 talented competitors, divided into categories of road cycling and mountain biking, both male and female and across different age groups, the team represents the diversity and spirit of overcoming that we value so much.
The Shark Byke Team was created not only to integrate passionate competitors but especially to offer support to high-potential athletes who, due to financial limitations, face challenges in staying in the sport.
Our leading athletes, people with good financial conditions, recognized the need to support these emerging talents. Vector saw in this partnership an opportunity to significantly contribute to the fostering of sports careers, giving these athletes a chance to shine.

Inspiration on Wheels: A Success Story
The most emblematic success story of the Shark Byke Team in 2023 was undoubtedly that of an amateur athlete at the beginning of her sports career. With the support of Vector, ISA OLIVEIRA had the opportunity to participate in all the competitions of the year, using a borrowed bicycle. Her journey was an example of determination and talent, culminating in winning the championship title in every modality she participated in.
This is the spirit we seek to foster in sports: to provide opportunities to those who have potential but face financial obstacles. Her story is an inspiration to all of us, showing that, with the right support, talents can blossom and reach extraordinary levels.
Vector is proud to be part of stories like this. We believe that support for sports goes beyond sponsorship; it is an investment in people, in their passions and dreams.
