We have already had a lot of success in partnerships with the United Kingdom, Germany and Israel”, highlights José Luis Gordon, director of Planning and Management at EMBRAPII.
The projects presented must be focused on the development of new technologies in the areas of Applied Laser Technologies, Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing; Smart Factories focused on Industrial Demonstration (Advanced Manufacturing and Industry 4.0); Mobile, Autonomous and Collaborative Robotics, including Sensor Technologies, Computer Vision, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Maintenance; Energy 4.0 with a focus on mobility and electrical/smart recycling; smart cities, farms and mining.

After that, we share this information and technologies with companies, including startups, who through Industry 4.0 technologies are able to leverage their business.”
