IHS Brazil is inaugurating its technology innovation center in Santo André, São Paulo State, in partnership with the Centro Universitário Fundação Santo André.
Through this center, Centro Universitário Fundação Santo André and IHS Brazil will work together to explore innovative solutions, such as the potential adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence, with the long-term aim of helping make cities ‘smarter’.
The city of Santo André was chosen for its proximity to major centers, and to allow the product testing and future implementation of technologies to be piloted on a smaller scale.
This partnership also helps IHS Brazil strengthen ties with the academic community, with the long-term aim of becoming a talent incubator, fostering start-ups and investing in innovation in alignment with the company’s mission to enable connectivity. It builds on existing partnerships with the academic community, most notably, its current participation in a product development research program for the telecommunications industry with the Universidade de Ouro Preto.
Antonio Maya, Chief Technical Officer, IHS Latam, said “This partnership is important to our innovation area, through which we intend to train telecommunication engineers and equivalent, and help connect academia to our sector. We look forward to working with the academic community on this project, and together contributing to innovation in our sector.”
