Avibras innovates with the concept of a new space for a collaborative technological development focused on innovations and technologies applied to its area of operation. The company expects it to be one more success for São José dos Campos’ s Technology Park, where it will be installed the Avibras Technology and Innovation Space in the first semester of 2018.

This new initiative will have its activities at the Business Center IV, which will open on November 14th. Avibras aims at creating a proper “startup” environment that will allow the combination of efforts among the industry, the technology parks and academia, so as to create innovative solutions and strategical technological development in Brazil.

“In Brazil, there is a significant amount of brilliant initiatives in different areas of technology that end up not creating enough critical mass to prosper and establish the technological knowledge in a pragmatic and durable way. The idea is to explore the Defence-Industry-Academia System of Innovation (SisDia, in Portuguese) that aims at increasing the cooperation and the interaction among the government agencies of all levels, the Brazilian industrial base and universities. The company’s goal is to create an “embassy” of the many institutions involved in the greatest and most traditional Heart of Aerospace Defence and Security in the country”, stated João Brasil Carvalho Leite, Chief Executive Officer of Avibras.

The purpose of this Space is to develop brazilian “know how”, promote the qualification of specialists, create processes and tools, and even products and business that assure competitiveness in Brazil and instigate the entrepreneurship spirit.
