The São José dos Campos Technology Park (“Parque Tecnológico São José dos Campos” – PqTec), created at the end of 2006 and institu-tionalized in 2009, is a project for society as a whole. It is embedded in the history of the city, and characterizes the region’s vocation: that of uniting the academic, research, and develop-ment universe with industry and other sectors of the economy that draw on the resources of modern technology.

Our proposal is to translate knowledge into goods, processes, and services with high added value, evoking the local tradition that began 50 years ago in the Department of Aerospace Sci-ence and Technology (“DCTA”) with a project that originated Embraer.

For such purpose, we make the Park a point of convergence of governments, universities, companies, and society. Here we have the Gov-ernment, in the municipal, state and federal lev-els, applying public policies and investing finan-cial resources at PqTec. We have the academy, contributing and receiving inputs for ideas and development of scientific-technological con-cepts. We have the companies, making efforts and using their corporate knowledge to develop products, services, and processes. And we have society, whether represented in our Board of Directors or as a target of projects designed at PqTec and performed by companies and institu-tions of science and technology.

To make this confluence effective, we seek to create the necessary stimulation instruments to respond to the demand of advanced sectors,

which need to maintain their sustainability and competitiveness in an environment of research, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

The actions of PqTec and their outcomes are shown in this publication. We present data for 2017 and 2018 in all our areas of activity: from the management of resident companies to local productive industry clusters; from the incuba-tion of startups to initiatives for the interna-tionalization of companies; from our Business Office to Entrepreneur Malls. We also present our multi-user laboratories and a profile of the universities and institutions that have chosen the PqTec to install their units. We have at hand, ultimately, the diversity of actions carried out here.

The numbers show a significant growth of our space, with an increase in the number of installed companies, work positions, innova-tive projects, and works carried out with part-nerships between companies and institutions linked to the Park.

This information is a strong indication that we are participating in the present and future for the success of the innovative industry, of dynamic services, and modern trade - sectors resorting to technology development, innova-tion, and entrepreneurship to generate value, employment, and income. Without a doubt, such information indicates that we are on the right track and that it is worth investing in this model.

2. Apresentação

Innovative entrepreneurshipThe São José dos Campos Technology Park

(PqTec) was created in 2006, through a part-nership between the City Hall of São José dos Campos and the State Government of São Paulo. The “São José dos Campos Technology Park Program”, instituted by Municipal De-cree No. 12,367/2006, has the overall objec-tive of contributing significantly to industrial development - especially in the city of São José dos Campos, but also in regional and nation-al terms - by generating new technologies, new products and new processes, and innovative entrepreneurship.

In specifically local terms, PqTec was in-spired for various purposes. One of them is to strengthen the aerospace and defense industry, always dependent on new technologies to re-main competitive in the global market. The sec-ond purpose helps strengthening and renewing other important industrial chains to the region,

such as automotive and oil&gas. The third pur-pose is to increase the development of informa-tion and communication technologies, an inno-vative sector in its essence and transversal to all other sectors of the economy.

PqTec also aims at generating a new pole of urban development, which has already started with the implementation of the real estate proj-ect named “Cidade Tecnológica” (Tech City) in an area adjacent to PqTec, located in the Special Zone of the Technology Park. ZEPTEC has 25 million m2 and will house other projects in tune with the Park’s environment.

From 2006 to 2009, the Park had a provi-sional management structure, under the re-sponsibility of Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (“Fapesp”) and the City Hall of São José dos Campos. In 2009, the Park had its management transferred to ( the Associ-ation for the São José dos Campos Technology

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS TECHNOLOGY PARK (PqTec) REPORT 2018-2017 9

Park, APTSJC), selected in the public calls of the City.

The macro planning for PqTec was organized in three stages: structuring; consolidation; ex-pansion. In 2010, it became the first tech park accredited by the local System of Technology Parks.

In light of the purposes established in 2006 and updated in the following years, this report depicts PqTec after ten years under the manage-ment of Associação Parque Tecnológico de São José dos Campos. We present actions that oc-curred within the scope of PqTec in years 2017 and 2018, and that had the objective of contrib-uting to the protagonism of the city of São José dos Campos, of the State of São Paulo, and of Brazil in the knowledge economy.

While other parks in Brazil and abroad emerged as an arm of academic institutions, such as universities and institutes of science and technology, PqTec used a less convention-al model to create an environment favorable to the attraction and installation of several univer-sities, teaching institutions, and R&D institu-tions, with the aim of implementing innovation projects in partnership with companies.

By playing this role, PqTec provides the busi-ness and academic sectors, public authorities, and society with opportunities of synergy and all usual outcomes of such synergy: coopera-tion, collaboration, interaction, sharing, part-nerships, and reciprocity. For this process, the Park maintains the objective of using knowl-edge to reach the market in the form of innova-tive products, services and processes.

Technological Parks usually operate on the basis of the “triple helix” concept, which

involves in a continuous movement, the ac-ademic sector (as a generator of new knowl-edge), enterprises (producers of goods and ser-vices), and the government (regulatory, sector and stimulator of the economic activity), aim-ing at technological innovation and economic development.

PqTec also innovated by incorporating into its operating model plans of activities and plans of actions, the needs of society, and the demands of the market. Society is present at PqTec by being part of the basis of Associação Parque Tecnológico de São José dos Campos, with representatives in its Board of Directors, and also by being directly contemplated in pro-grams and lines of action of the institution.

The market is a key element in the definition and implementation of innovation projects and in the training of its companies.

Even though PqTec is already presented as a nationally acclaimed institution and has several interfaces with the outside world, APTSJC be-lieves that there is still much to be done, espe-cially in the medium and long terms. To contrib-ute to the innovative densification of resident companies, to increase the share in the national and international market of the companies of the industry clusters already in operation, to organize new industry clusters, to increase the number of multi-user laboratories, to increase university-company cooperation relations, to attract large-sized technological and commer-cial initiatives - these are challenges already identified and to which Associação Parque Tec-nológico de São José dos Campos has the will-ingness and capacity to face and overcome such challenges.

PqTec provides the business and academic sectors, public authorities and society with opportunities of synergy and its outcome

1. Introduction


Um modelo exemplar

PqTec is managed by Associação Parque Tecnológico de São José dos Campos (“APTSJC”), a private, non-profit entity, quali-fied by the City Hall of São José dos Campos as a Social Organization.

APTSJC was created with the mission of pro-moting science, technology, innovation, and sustainable entrepreneurship by supporting knowledge-intensive business activities, always to the benefit of the community. One of its ob-jectives is to contribute to the maintenance and development of the São José dos Campos Tech-nology Park. Therefore, APTSJC and PqTec are instruments for the economic, social, and urban development of the city. APTSJC’s governance is formed by the following bodies:

• General Committee• Board of Directors • Executive Management• Audit CommitteeThe Association is guided by its Articles of

Organization and Internal Rules, which govern the organization and its operation. The General Meeting is the maximum instance for delibera-tion and decision making. The Board of Direc-tors is the body of guidance and superior de-liberation, whose decisions are followed by the Executive Management.

APTSJC admits individuals and legal entities as members, without limitation of number, ac-cording to three distinct categories:

• Founding Members: signatories to the or-ganizational minutes of the Association.

• Effective Members: formally admitted as such.

• Honorary Members: members worthy spe-cial acknowledgment for their relevant services provided to the Association and towards technological innovation.

These members make up the General Meeting.

The Board of Directors of the Park has 20 members, divided into ex-officio and elected members.

The 12 ex-officio members represent govern-ment agencies and civil society entities:

• City Hall of São José dos Campos (two members)

• Secretariat of Economic Development, Science, Technology, and Innovation of the State of São Paulo

• Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA)

• National Institute of Space Research (Inpe)• Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA)• Federation of Industries of the State of São

Paulo (Fiesp)• National Association for Research and

Development of Innovative Companies (Anpei)

• Brazilian Association for the Industries and Materials of Defense and Security (Abimde)

• Association for the Brazilian Aerospace In-dustries (AIAB)

• Brazilian Association for Machinery and Equipment Industry (Abimaq)

• National Association for the Manufactur-ers of Motor Vehicles (Anfavea)

The eight elected members are individuals of

notable professional capacity and well-known moral repute, belonging to the academic and business communities, four members being directly elected by the Board of Directors; two members elected by the General Meeting; and two members elected by companies resident and associated with the industry clusters. The members of the Audit Committee, individuals of notable competence, are elected by the Gen-eral Meeting. APTSJC is permanently subject to an independent audit.

Finally, by definition, the Social Organi-zation assures to the municipality of São José dos Campos that the management of PqTec will

follow the public interests that inspired the cre-ation of the Park and that justify the allocated investments, both public and private.

In addition, as a private entity, APTSJC is legally provided with management devices that identify with those existing in the business sec-tor, however prioritizing principles required from public entities when dealing with govern-mental resources, particularly in their purchas-ing processes.

With these characteristics, APTSJC, at one and the same time, serves public interests, meets the requirements of the private sector, and is proven as diligent to controlling agencies.

Technology parks are essential to stimulate research and development around the world

3. Importance

Science, technology and innovation

In just over 60 years, technology parks have be-come an universal institution, spread throughout the planet. The first of them - Stanford Research Park - was inaugurated in 1951, by initiative of Stanford University, in the United States. Almost two decades later, Sophia Antipolis was founded in France. Soon after, in the early 1970’s, the third one appeared, Tsukuba Science City, Japan. From the 1980’s, they began to spread around the world. Today, the International Association of Science Parks and Innovation Areas (IASP) has members in 77 countries. In Brazil, there are 94 technology park initiatives, 28 of them are in operation, 28 are in the implementation phase, and 34 are in the project phase, according to the National Association for Entities Promoting Innovative Enterprises (Anprotec).

A striking feature of tech-nology parks is that they are aligned with both federal and state/municipal development policies. That is, they are, par excellence, the object of gov-ernment policies in the broad-est possible sense.

At the same time, they are part of strategies for creation, incubation, acceleration and

maturation of technology-based companies - that is, those companies that will generate higher value-added products and services through Re-search, Development and Innovation (R, D&I).

It is worthwhile noting that the contribution of public resources to R, D&I activities is among the rare exceptions in which the World Trade Organization (WTO) does not consider the con-cession of privileges to the private sector. The matter is the object of the WTO’s Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASMC), which deals with the characterization of subsidies detrimental to international trade relations and has been in force since 1995, of which Brazil is a signatory.

The parks housing companies that perform R,D&I activities form a globally recognized plat-form to foster innovation, bringing together poli-cies, resources, and efforts from the government,

Incubators (present in 93.2%) and research institutes (present in 83.5%) are two of the most common elements in parks around the globe. (source: http://www.iasp.ws/)

The majority of parks are the result of public initiatives. However, it is possible to observe an increase in.the participation of the private sector, especially in the public-private partnership regimes

Apesar de P&D ser a atividade mais comum (94%), há outras que estão cada vez mais presentes nos parques tecnológicos.

academic, corporate, and investor sectors.

In the national systems of science, technology and innovation (S,T&I), tech-nology parks are in the same degree of importance of the best universities.

On the one hand, the best universities have the role of gen-erating new scientific and tech-nological know-how that in-creasingly advance the frontiers of human knowledge. Parks are assigned the function of apply-ing scientific and technological knowledge in the development of products, processes, and services that result in wellbeing for the human being, and of generating wealth to society - which is trans-lated into salaries to professionals, profits to entrepreneurs, and tax-es to municipal, state, and federal governments.

Parks are a key tool for coun-tries to change their development model from “Made in ...” to “Cre-ated in ....” This is because only through its own generation, the possession and application of sci-entific and technological knowl-edge, a country becomes a pro-tagonist of the world economy. Technology parks are indispens-able for such purpose.

Indicators determined by IASP reveal the main characteristics of technology parks around the the world, as shown in the presented tables.

PqTec numbers show a space in intense development

PqTec was initially formed with funds of the

the City Hall of São José dos Campos, added

to contributions from the Government of the

State of São Paulo. Over the years, the City Hall

maintained its regular investments, while APTSJC

directed efforts to substantially increase fund-

raising with the Treasury of São Paulo and the

federal government, which also started to finance

activities and improvements in the Park through

different ministries and agencies. By the end of

2018, the Park had investments of BRL 2.7 billion,

BRL 174 million of which from the City Hall of São

José dos Campos. That is, each BRL 1 invested by

the City Hall in PqTec resulted in BRL 15 funded

by state and federal public agencies and private

companies.

The table in this page specifies the origin and

amount of investments at PqTec.

In the 2017-2018 biennium, the Park experi-enced significant growth in several indicators, as shown in the charts and tables on the next page.

It should be noted that the area available to house companies reached 30,150m2, with an occu-pancy rate of 89%.

This rate reflects the number of companies and

institutions installed in the Park: there were 70 in 2016, and by the end of 2018, they totaled 145.

The number of work positions also increased significantly between January 2017 and Decem-ber 2018, from 1,195 work positions to 1,941 - a 62% increase in the number of jobs at the Park in the period.

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS TECHNOLOGY PARK (PqTec)

Projetos Designs of products or services that are still in the plan of ideas or in the very ear-ly stage of conception are housed by PqTec in the coworking space, which was fully restored and reformulated in 2018 to receive the start-ups in that stage. Coworking is part of Nexus Lab, a Nexus program for entrepreneurs that haven’t got the idea out of paper yet. Nexus is the innovation hub of the Park, with a vast set of programs to entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes (see page 44).

The former coworking space housed only 14 working positions. Since December 2018, the capacity has increased to 54 positions.

Nexus partnered with NipBr Telecom to be the official Internet provider of the new space.

The installed companies count on 200 MB In-ternet. Startup Compre Sorrindo is part of the Nexus Labs program and has been using the coworking space since August 2018. “The new area is also a business card to our customers”, says Guilherme Rachid, co-owner of the compa-ny. To him, being in a coworking space such as that offered by Nexus is fundamental to leverage the development of the company and business. “We are able to make connections very quickly, with friends and colleagues here at the Park. I also have a quick link with Unesp’s academic team, a great deal of help to my project, and to investors as well; there is no way to measure the values that the Park’s coworking space has brought to my team”, asserts Rachid.

Inaugurated in December 2018, the new Nexus coworking space has 54 work positions

Technology parks are all over the world because they are effective tools for the com-petitiveness of local businesses and domestic economies. If until few years ago the industrial sector sought profitability through scale pro-duction, the challenge now is to generate wealth by adding value to production. Technological innovation is the most effective strategy for such purpose - and PqTec is a fully supportive environment for companies to innovate.

A study by the Institute for Applied Econom-ic Research (Ipea) shows that innovative com-panies are more profitable, pay better salaries, employ better skilled manpower, retain talent, and are more competitive in the global market-place. This confirms the reason and benefits of investing in innovative companies.

Thus, the São José dos Campos Technology Park acts as a promoter of the culture of inno-vation, competitiveness, and entrepreneurship.

PqTec’s resident companies and institutions have 15 patents filed in their history, 27 licensed technologies, and 60 technical and scientific publications.

No wonder, PqTec received in 2017 and 2018 innovation centers of large-sized compa-nies, such as Avibras. Resident and associated companies are internationally acclaimed as in-novative. The table below presents examples of innovative activities of resident companies. The information was obtained in interviews of the Business Monitoring Program and do not reflect any changes to the products or services offered by them after April 2018.

A prominent aerospace defense company, Avibras inaugurated in December 2018 the Avi-bras Technology and Innovation Space (EATI) at Business Center IV of the Technology Park.

EATI was created to act as an embassy of the company for research, development, and inno-vation of products and solutions in the areas of defense, space, and public security, in part-nership with universities, research centers, and technology-based companies.

The new space is used by Avibras to de-velop strategic technologies for new products and businesses. “We believe that, in an eco-system of innovation like the one we have at the São José dos Campos Technology Park, Avibras can play the role of an anchor compa-ny, bringing innovations created with science and technology institutions and partner com-panies to new products, with industrial scale and global presence, creating a virtuous cycle of innovation not only in the region but also throughout the country”, said the engineering

officer of the company, Mr. Fernando Ranieri. Through EATI, Avibras will identify sci-

ence and technology institutions and compa-nies from all over the country that may devel-op synergies in lines of research of common interest, in addition to seeking professionals with technical knowledge in related technol-ogies and exploring the triple helix concept – in which the company, the academia, and the government contribute to the technologi-cal innovation and economic development of the country.

EATI also includes activities such as rapid prototyping, manufacturing, assembling, and testing of concepts, sponsorship and participa-tion in integration events, promotion of a per-manent innovation forum, and stimulation to academic-industrial research and the produc-tion of applied knowledge. It will also act in the search for governmental and private incentives, such as technology orders, subsidies, incen-tives, and financing.

B2B meetingsThe park puts together companies with companies and companies with universities for projects in partnership

The fact that they are in the same phys-ical environment naturally favors the re-lationship of companies and teaching/re-search institutions at PqTec.

But the Park also carries out actions to promote meetings between companies and is always in search of events that promote the synergy of entities that have close inter-ests and may complement their businesses and innovative projects.

For that reason, the first PqTec B2B took place in 2018, a business session involving companies linked to the São José dos Cam-pos Technology Park. The purpose of the event was that of creating a favorable envi-ronment to the approximation and knowl-edge of existing solutions at companies that are linked to PqTec. Professionals of the companies based on the Park and compa-nies associated with the industry clusters participated of the event.

The table on the next page shows exam-ples of cooperation between resident com-panies and those associated with the Tech-nology Park.

Long before they announced the consolidation of both

companies for the manufacture of commercial aircrafts in

mid-2018, Embraer and Boeing already had a joint project

at PqTec. Since 2015, the companies have joined forces to

coordinate the work of the Joint Center for Research in

Sustainable Biofuels for Aviation, a collaborative effort

to consolidate the establishment of the Brazilian aviation

biofuel industry. At the Center, companies coordinate

and finance research with universities and other Brazilian

institutions. The research focuses on developing

technologies to fill gaps in the creation of a sustainable

biofuel industry for aviation in the country, such as

production of raw materials, technical-economic analyses,

economic feasibility studies, and processing technologies.

Already at the testing phase, there is a work that

proposes a biofuel for aviation based on sugarcane, with

the promise of reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide

in the atmosphere and costs with maintenance. According

to Embraer, studies indicate that the aviation biokerosene

produced with sustainability emits 50% to 80% less

carbon in its life cycle than kerosene of fossil origin. A

new technology for the application of a paint potentially

capable of reducing the buildup of insect debris and

facilitating the removal of ice - a factor that interferes

directly with the performance of the aircraft during the

flight - is already being tested. A system is also being

tested that allows air outflow to be analyzed in regions

very close to the wing surface during the flight, creating

conditions for aerodynamic innovations.

Virtual reality Companies iMedical and Imersão Visual joined in 2018, when both were incubated at PqTec, with the goal of creating a solution for students of the health area. With the use of a virtual reality tool, students are able to practice medical procedures, such as surgery, for example.“With virtual reality, professor and students put on their glasses and enter a virtual surgery room, being able to help each other with the supervision of the professor. Students can even be in different countries during the class”, explains Márcio Serpa, CEO of iMedical.The project is designed to be as faithful as possible to reality: the patient has blood, there is smoke from the electric scalpel and all that hospital paraphernalia is present in a virtual way.In 2018, the companies found an investor and signed an agreement with a hospital from São Paulo. Each simulation is specific to a procedure or to teach the use of a piece of equipment, with its own setting. For the first phase of the project, the companies have dynamics already finished. Each one of them can take up to three months until conclusion.

7. Internationalization

Global businessProgram aims at opening doors to the world and at facilitating the global insertion of resident and associated companies

The Internationalization Program was struc-tured in 2018 and aims at making the Technolo-gy Park a global hub for business, development, and cooperation, by positioning it as a place that generates, attracts, and exports innovation and technology.

To do so, the program relies on several strategies:

• Support, qualification, and structuring of the internationalization of resident com-panies, of companies associated with the Part, or companies members of the local industry clusters, in order to generate or increase their export revenues

• Prospecting potential partners that add interests in the areas of research, de-velopment, and innovation, as well as entrepreneurship, always according to PqTec;Formalization of softlanding rules and programs (provisional support to for-eigners willing to do business in Brazil), disseminating the use of such rules and programs to the Park companies and to the community as a whole;

• Mapping of companies with exporting profile; • Seeking partners and supporters from pro-

motion and funding agencies; • Creation of a channel to expose compa-

nies with exporting profile; • Mapping of companies interested in

internationalization; • Act as an interlocutor in the support to

internationalization. In order to stimulate and make these actions

possible, there are several initiatives that occur by means of:

• Cooperation Agreements with technology parks and international clusters;

• Global Network of Innovation Environments;

• Consulates and Chambers of Commerce;• Government incentives and funding;• Programs of international agencies and

organizations

Stimulus and Support

The Park promotes several actions to stim-ulate and support companies that seek interna-tionalization. Learn about the main programs:

Softlanding Program – This program aims at housing and providing provisional support to companies interested in doing business in Bra-zil. The Park offers coworking space and meet-ing rooms for up to six months.

The program also subsidizes the use of the Park’s laboratories and offers free guidance in several areas.

• Networking opportunities with the corpo-rate community;

• Market survey;• Access to experts and consulting on im-

port/export laws, taxation, and business;• Access to training and meeting rooms;• Assistance in the protection of intellectual

property; • Assistance with government documents

and permits;

Enrich in BrazilThe São José dos Campos Technology Park was accredited in

October 2018 as a softlanding hub of ENRICH in Brazil. With

the accreditation, PqTec has officially become a hub of

support for European companies willing to carry business

or to settle in Brazil.

Enrich in Brazil is the Brazilian pole of the European

Network of Research and Innovation Centers and Hubs.

With partners in Brazil and in eight European countries, the

consortium’s objective is that of strengthening the Brazil-

Europe cooperation in research, innovation, and business

through the exchange of innovative practices, experience

and know-how. The network also has centers and hubs in

the USA and in China.

Enrich in Brazil is formed by several types of members

that together represent the entity in the Brazilian

community. It is a network of agents interested in both

benefiting and offering support services to European

research and innovation players who want to enter

the Brazilian market and vice versa.

ENRICH’s softlanding poles are certified research,

development, and innovation support organizations that

dedicate their efforts and resources to help researchers

and entrepreneurs with innovative ideas, turning these

ideas into viable, successful, and sustainable projects

and businesses in Brazil. The core mission of the poles

is to support applied research and expedite innovative

entrepreneurship with the tailored delivery of a

comprehensive range of professional support aimed at

startups, spin-offs, entrepreneurs, and small and medium-

sized entreprises willing to start a new project or establish

a new partnership with Brazil.

“The key intent is to attract companies to Brazil, fostering

actions to bring technology companies to the São José dos

Campos Technology Park”, says Rodrigo Mendes, PqTec’s

internationalization coordinator.


Resident and associated companies can use shared offices in the USA and in Holland. The spaces have a furnished office at the campus of Yale University, where IT companies also have the support of Softex (Association for the Pro-motion of Excellence of Brazilian Software), a partner entity of the project. The Hub also pro-vides bilingual administrative support, access to the US East Coast and Canada markets, and networking with investors, associations, and government entities.

B2B Meetings - Promotion and organization of business meetings and B2B meetings with strategic market companies and partners of oth-er technology parks.

Promotion of trade shows and conferences – PqTec’s internationalization team has an in-ternational program of the most relevant trade shows and congresses suitable for the profile of the resident and associated companies. By

means of agreements, the team organizes and finances groups of exhibitors.

Promotion - The Park promotes companies internationally, publicizing their achievements and business strategies.

Global cooperation The Technology Park’s internationalization

team made contact throughout 2018 with sev-eral institutions around the world in search of partnerships, joint projects, financing, and oth-er forms of cooperation that could stimulate the businesses of related companies.

As a result of such relationship, the Park signed a cooperation agreement for softlanding with the Ann Harbor Technology Park in the USA. As a result, companies from both parks began to receive support for internationaliza-tion. PqTec has also signed an agreement with the Eastern Oklahoma County Partnership, in



the USA, to cooperate with the internationaliza-tion of companies in the USA and to attract USA companies to Brazil.

In April 2017, PqTec entered into a partner-ship agreement with Hub55, an international-ization platform that reduces costs and speeds up the process of penetration of companies in new markets. The Hub is an initiative of Paseli Consultoria, in a partnership with the govern-ment of Connecticut (USA), and is supported by the Department of Information Technology Policies of the Ministry of Sciences, Technology, Innovation, and Communications. The agree-ment was renewed in 2018.

With the contractual renewal, São José dos Campos gained a Hub55 office, so that foreign associates can use the environment of the Tech-nology Park as a shared space. The idea is to attract and facilitate the establishment of for-eign companies in Brazil, especially those in the aerospace sector.

In order to promote the Brazilian aerospace industry in China, a promotion and internation-alization agreement was signed in 2018 with Hunan Province, China.

There are also other agreements under nego-tiation: with Tagus Valley in Portugal; with the Skolkovo Foundation in Russia; and, with the International Network of Crossed Incubation and TUS-Park, both in China

Events The Park understands that the participation

in events of research, development, and inno-vation is crucial to strengthen the network of contacts, to map opportunities to its companies, and for the overall strengthening of its brand. Whether as a visitor, host, mediator, or lecturer, PqTec was present in the most important inter-national events of 2018:

• May 24 and 25, participation in the

Land2Land workshop, a program to support the internationalization of innovation envi-ronments coordinated by the National As-sociation of Entities Promoting Innovative Enterprises (Anprotec). It was possible to discuss and exchange experiences on the ac-tions of the main Brazilian technology parks.

• PqTec participated of the 2018 Anprotec Mis-sion, which occurred between August 13 and 24 in China and aimed at visiting innovation environments installed in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shezhen, and Hong Kong. Participants learned about the Chinese innovation ecosystem, which has been mak-ing significant efforts in terms of investment and of science and technology policies. They also visited companies and innovation cen-ters in Hong Kong - one of the key players in Asia in terms of policies to support entre-preneurship and innovation. During the mis-sion, the Park gathered with the management of Tuspark, China’s largest technology park, to discuss the reapproach and partnerships with Brazil in the areas of space, aeronautics, and information and communication tech-nologies. The goal consisted of selecting up to 20 Chinese companies from these segments to visit PqTec in search of cooperation and in-vestment actions.

• In September, PqTec was present in the 7th Brazil-Germany Dialogue on Science, Re-search, and Innovation, held at the headquar-ters of the “Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo” (“FAPESP” – the Research Funding Entity of the State of São Paulo) and which counted on the presence of the German Consulate and several German universities and institutes.

• In November, PqTec partnered with Altair En-gineering to carry out the Innovation Leaders Summit, with more than 20 c-level executives and directors of science and technology insti-tutes of the region.

• As part of the partnership formalized with the University of La Salle, in Spain, the Park also took part in November of the International Barcelona Mission and visited the SmartCity Expo Barcelona.

International Market Company iMedical, a PqTec resident, was approved

and its representative received support and

mentorship to go to the United States in February

2019 under the ‘Hub55 Startup Dive USA’, an

immersion program for startups tAhat takes place

in early 2019. Startups are funded in up to 65%

to take part of the program and were chosen by

means of open selection.

IMedical startup acts as a Project Management

Office (PMO) for industry and medical service

providers.

“We had the year 2020 as a goal to internationalize

our company and, fortunately, we anticipated

it. The expectation is high and I believe that I

will certainly come back from the US with new

businesses engaged”, says Márcio Serpa, CEO of

iMedical. “We are looking for a partnership with

some US player to develop our project in the USA,

it could be a government institution, an university,

a technology center, or an investor. I believe that

the program developed by the Technology Park

and Hub55 will be fundamental to find the best

partner”, he says.

In November 2018, the Technology Park also

advised and provided support for resident company

Nexus BR to participate of the China High Tech Fair,

under an Anprotec program. The company shared

a booth of 9m² with another selected company and

had all the costs of the fair funded.



• Also in November, the Park was pres-ent at TechCamp, a technical event of the European Business Network (EBN), a business network that involves about 150 innovation centers and 70 other organizations that support the develop-ment and growth of innovative entre-preneurs, startups and small businesses. The event was supported by the Enrich in Brazil Program, which funded the travel expenses of the PqTec team. The representatives of the Park were panel-ists of the event and approached PqTec’s softlanding program and actions of the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster. As an im-mediate result, EBN has presented a Eu-ropean space company with an interest in developing partnerships with Brazil-ian companies and institutes and with which PqTec is promoting matchmaking actions.

• On the same date, the PqTec representative lectured and moderated at the workshop Science Parks and Areas of, Innovation:

Building the iBRICS company interested in starting activities in the Brazilian market.

• The year ended with the participation in the International Mission of Brazilian Technology Parks in Russia, held and fi-nanced by the Brazilian Ministry of For-eign Affairs. Three technology parks, two universities, business incubators and the Ministry of Science, Technology and In-novation of Russia were visited. Oppor-tunities for cooperation and collaboration between Russian and Brazilian parks were discussed. As a result, an immersion pro-gram will be conducted to Russian com-panies in Brazil and Brazilian companies in Russia.

The event presented the Park and resident companies and institutions such as Atech, Altave, Ericsson, IPT, Eletric Dreams and Cemaden, and re-ported projects with potential of part-nership with the IDB.

• Reception of the delegation of the Uni-versity of Toronto, with the participation

of the Dean and representatives of the State of Ontario and the Canadian Con-sulate, seeking an opportunity of part-nerships with Brazilian companies and in-stitutions for scientific and technological development.

Internationalization of companies In order to foster businesses and

opportunities to residents and associates, PqTec carries out actions for foreign compa-nies and startups to have an interest in install-ing in Brazil.

In this sense, the Park organized events and meetings with several companies throughout 2018. Managers of Vizworks, from Canada, and Smarf, from South Korea, met with PqTec representatives to understand the local mar-ket, opportunities, and discuss the strategies to attract the company to PqTec. Represen-tatives of German company Dipteron were also able to learn about PqTec’s softlanding program.

Autaza, a startup graduated in 2018, had the support of PqTec to start its internation-alization process, by means of consulting to technical missions in the USA. The compa-ny benefited from the cooperation agreement with the Ann Harbor Technology Park. With the partnership, Autaza installed a cell in the North American park.

Likewise, Parkbots, a PqTec resident, has obtained information and contacts with parks and innovation environments in Italy and Spain and is already planning its internation-alization. The Park also seeks cooperation from institutions that work in the interna-tional area. Thus, it discusses a partnership with Lucalex, a Brazilian company based in Canada and that provides services to support the internationalization of companies in that



Company ATS was selected to participate of the

‘Startout Brasil - Ciclo Miami, USA’. The program

supports the insertion of Brazilian startups in the most

promising ecosystems of innovation in the world and

is carried out by the following institutions: Anprotec,

Sebrae, Apex-Brasil, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and

Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services.

In the 2018 edition, the company received specialized

consulting in the field of internationalization, pitch

training, mission for customer prospecting mission in

the USA and visits to environments such as business

incubators, B2B meetings, and Demo Day with

investors. The air tickets of the ATS representative

were funded by Apex-Brasil.

ATS has been in the market for 11 years,

headquartered in São Paulo (SP), and is associated

with the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster of the Technology

Park. “ATS is a small-sized company with

great potential for internationalization.

The proof of this is its placement among

the top five companies supported by

the Appex in the program, showing that

not only large-sized Cluster companies

have the maturity for the global supply

process, but also startups”, says Marcelo

Nunes, coordinator of the Cluster.

The Brazilian company operates in the

area of product engineering for the

aeronautical industry and equipment and

processes for heavy industry.

A year ago, it opened a branch in Florida (USA),

focused on the sale of engineering services and

simulation processes in the areas of computational

fluid dynamics (CFD) and preparation for structural

analysis (FEA).

“We have full conditions to serve the American

aerospace market. In Brazil we already serve Embraer,

Avibras, the Navy, Air Force, and other major players

such as Braskem, Ultragaz, Vale, Queiroz-Galvão, and

Petrobrás”, as stated by Guilherme Araújo Lima da

Silva, CEO of the company.

The company is in the scaling phase and the program

has helped to broaden its range of operations. It is also

part of the plans to expand local prospecting, with the

opening of an office in São José dos Campos (SP). Here,

the proposal is to bring ATS closer to clients in the

aerospace industry.

8. Expansion

A new urban pole

The total project of the São José dos Cam-pos Technology Park covers an area of 25 mil-lion m2 - equivalent to 3,500 soccer fields as per FIFA standard. In the organization of the use of land in the municipality, the area is iden-tified as Special Zone of the Technology Park (ZEPTEC).

This area stretches from the border of Presidente Dutra Highway, at kilometer 138 in the São Paulo-Rio de Janeiro direction, to Governador Carvalho Pinto Highway, and is divided into three parts: the PqTec center; the surroundings of the Center under the manage-ment of the City Hall of São José dos Campos; and the area belonging to private owners.

Most of ZEPTEC refers to land owned by different people. The occupancy projects depend on prior approval of the City Hall of São José dos Campos and the managing entity of the Technology Park. The occupation must occur for the purposes related to the Technolo-gy Park or of its interest.

With these characteristics of ZEPTEC, the

existence of the Park will allow the advent of a new regional urban pole. At the same time, the institution will begin to experience the third stage envisaged in its planning: expansion - preceded by structuring and consolidation.

Here Comes the Tech City The first private real estate venture at

ZEPTEC is the Tech City. In its 308 thousand m2, houses will be built, as well as technolo-gy-based companies and companies with low environmental impact, as well as financial, health, educational, leisure, gastronomy and R&D centers with business schools and aca-demic institutions.

In October 2018, the Technology Park signed a partnership agreement with the Tech City project, which will be carried out by companies Innovact and Exto Incorporação e Construção. “In essence, the São José dos Cam-pos Technology Park has already emerged as a real estate venture. With the Tech City project,

Real estate ventures start the third phase of PqTec’s incorporation

we will create a new urban fabric in the city and we will take an important step towards the planning of territorial and institutional oc-cupation, consolidating a new economic and innovative ecosystem that brings together sev-eral segments in an organized and structured way, in a favorable urban composition to de-velop knowledge”, explains César Mello, from Innovact, responsible for the realization and intermediation of the Tech City.

According to the entrepreneurs, the new neighborhood must necessarily include the new technologies that favor the performance and the development of the companies, reduce environmental impact, and increase the qual-ity of life of the local population. The project also includes green areas and two large leisure systems.

“It will be the first territory in Brazil de-signed to welcome the aspirations of the knowledge society in a complete way, with production, quality of life, and leisure”, says Roberto Matos, CEO of Exto.

Partnership - The partnership agreement determines that companies located in the Tech City may enjoy the structure and networking offered by the São José dos Campos Technolo-gy Park ecosystem.

“An important feature of the Tech City is the road map to entrepreneurship in the Tech-nology Park: the company enters the Park as an idea and leaves the park already with the opportunity to gain the market in an area

with proper infrastructure, perennially”, says Elso Alberti Jr., PqTec’s Business Development Officer.

Marco Antonio Raupp, PqTec’s CEO, be-lieves that the Park needs to be at the service of the development of the region in its sur-roundings. “It is also our responsibility to at-tract more companies and services to this re-gion. Therefore, the Tech City has no meaning without the Technology Park”, asserted the executive.

The allotment and infrastructure works are expected to begin in early 2019 and to last for about two years, according to estimates by the developer. The area will have four distinct zones: predominantly industrial use zone, mixed services area, mixed zone of households and services, and mixed area of industry, trade, and services.

MRV also on its way MRV, a giant of real state market, owns a

piece of land at ZEPTEC and plans a venture in the area, still in its initial phase of design and occupation strategy. In late November 2018, the ‘Portal Vistas do Vale’ venture was homologated by the City Hall of São José dos Campos. The contractor then filed the envi-ronmental licensing process at Cetesb.

The Park is involved in MRV’s negotiations, since the new venture must be aligned with its strategic objectives, in accordance with the zoning act.

The Tech City will host new technologies that favor the performance and development of enterprises


First private business and airport complex

Aerovale is an industrial, logistic, and business

complex with airport structure, built in the city of

Caçapava on an area with 2.2 million m2. The place

was created for entrepreneurs willing to install their

establishments next to a modern runway.

The Penido Group, responsible for the venture,

defines the site as an aerotropolis, a new concept

that embraces the most

modern practices of

environmental and urban

governance in a region

developed around

an airport. The venture

signed an agreement with

the Technology Park in

August 2018 to promote the

installation of companies

related to the aeronautical

sector, which could benefit

from the existence of the

Aerovale aerodrome.

In the second half of 2018,

infrastructure works were

resumed and are expected to be completed by the

end of the first half of 2019. The aerodrome, which is

part of the main infrastructure of the industrial and

logistics center, had the

first stage of paving and signaling completed and

ratified by the Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency

(“ANAC”) in September 2018.

Aerovale Structure • 2.2 million m²

• 375,000 m² of asphalt

• 1,350 m private landing strip

• Heliport

• 177 lots with access to the strip

• 188 lots for industry, trade, and services

Aerodrome will serve residents that seek agility in the transport of goods and people.

9. Visibility

Public Relations

The way of seeing and making communica-tion at the São José dos Campos Technology Park matured over the last two years. Communication is now seen and used in integration with market-ing and thus became strategic, allowing greater institutional visibility.

Digital marketing actions, press counseling, event announcements, social media content, and internal and external relationship using different types of media were adopted.

As a result, PqTec was a - positive - subject in about 500 articles in major local, national and international media outlets in 2017 and 2018. In advertising market figures, the publication of this set of articles is equivalent to nearly BRL 2 million, plus BRL 240 thousand in keywords in Google’s organic search. At the same time, there was an exponential growth in the number of vis-its to the portal and in the number of followers and engagement in the social medias. In addition, the Park built a mailing list with 15,000 contacts segmented in its target audiences.

Channels In early 2018, the former PqTec website was

replaced with a portal that covers all sectors of the institution. The platform, modern and with an architecture built specifically to meet the Park’s needs, made it possible for the content to became a great booster when it comes to advertising the Park, its sectors and projects, its events, and its resident or associated companies. With the use of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies,

the portal increased 70% in organic searches on Google in relation to all its historical series.

At the end of 2018, the www.pqtec.org.br domain name is listed by Google as an en-try to searches that include over one thousand keywords, generating a monthly average of six thousand visits to the portal. When searching for “parque tecnológico”, PqTec is the first in the list.

In addition to the portal, PqTec related and communicated with its universe through several types of media and channels. These consisted of strategic actions, with directed content in order to sensitize or inform each audience of interest.

Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and WhatsApp - all of them were considered and used according to the preference and purpose of each action. Listening and learning about the be-havior and consumption of information by the PqTec ecosystem players was a substantial step that allowed increasing the presence of the au-dience in events and improving the relationship with society and with the business and academic communities.

DigitalE-mail was an important tool in PqTec’s com-

munication dynamics. Each month featured 15 to 20 campaigns and announcements, invitations to events and news on opportunities, as well as a fortnightly newsletter. For that, an e-mail man-agement platform was used, with mailing manage-ment, control and reports on e-mails sent, deliv-ery, opening, clicks and acceptance/refusal rates.

By growing in all indicators, PqTec has also become more visible and recognized by society


High success rates have been achieved in e-mail campaigns, with a high score of reliability be-fore global e-mail servers.

And by following the legislation and good security practices in the e-mail relationship, PqTec domain name has one of the best scores possible, which ensures a delivery of 100% of messages sent.

Press Office In the past years, the visibility of the Tech-

nology Park in the press has grown exponen-tially, reaching in 2018 the equivalent to more than BRL 1 million in spontaneous media. Lo-cal/regional, national and international articles sustained this result.

In 2018, the Park and its projects were the subject of articles in two major international networks, broadcasted in more than 70 coun-tries. One is Al Jazeera, the most important television network in the Middle East, based in Doha and broadcasting in Arabic and En-glish. Another is the German Deutsche Welle network, which broadcasts television and ra-dio shows abroad and has a large online con-tent portal in 30 languages.

The coverage by the media outlets of the state region known as ‘Vale do Paraíba’ has also grown substantially: local press profes-sionals have identified PqTec as a source of news with qualified content.

The same occurred in media outlets of na-tional coverage. As a result of the investment in strategic relationships and actions, PqTec participated of news articles as a source, as a characters, and as the main subject. Articles in ‘O Globo’, ‘Valor Econômico’, ‘Pequenas Empresas’, ‘Grandes Negócios’, G1, ‘Globo News’, ‘Band News’, were featured throughout Brazil on different occasions.

In addition to releases and suggestions of agendas and sources, the Park has become an important media of business, science and technology, innovation and entrepre-neurship. With daily news on social media, newsletters and text and video articles in its portal, it received thousands of visits, had its news replicated by hundreds of blogs, news-papers and social media profiles. Thus, the Park was able to present itself with its own speech and arguments and to give more visi-bility to its actions

PqTec counts on four business centers.

Supportive ecosystem Structure, intelligence and resources for the ongoing growth of resident companies

The São José dos Campos Technology Park has four business centers, totaling 30,150 m2 of usable area and housing, as of late 2018, 68 companies and institutions, as well as 77 startups.

Micro, small, medium and large-sized com-panies, mostly engaged in some type of research or innovation are located in Centers I and II. Service providers and startups graduated at Nexus are also located in such centers.

Business Center III houses the incubator and the accelerator and has structure to com-panies and large-sized institutions. Its resi-dents include organizations such as Visiona,

Embraer, Boeing and IPT, among others. Center IV houses companies such as Avi-

bras, Siatt and Atech, along with the Nation-al Center for Natural Disaster Monitoring and Alarms (Cemaden) and the Universidade Virtual do Estado de São Paulo (“Univesp”), among other large companies and institutions.

The Park provides these companies with physical space and basic infrastructure to house their facilities and personnel. It also of-fers services for management training and net-working opportunities with other companies, research institutions, and funding agents.

Another important differential are the PqTec’s


10. Business centers

exclusive company follow-up programs, as de-scribed below.

Business monitoring programs

The business monitoring programs conducted by Nexus aim at measuring the evolution and de-velopment of institutions while they are residents.

They have different approaches and denom-inations and are performed with variable frequency. They aim at supporting the de-velopment of companies according to their objectives presented in the selection process.

If the company does not show the expected evolution, the Park will ask for an improve-ment plan or will dedicate specific attention.

All data submitted by the companies during the evaluation are protected by a con-fidentiality agreement.

Vertical division The modalities of occupancy of the Busi-

ness Centers are considered as vertical, ac-cording to the objective and the project to be developed by the resident companies at PqTec.

This vertical division has existed since 2017, when the notice of selection was modi-fied to improve the monitoring of companies.

Three verticals were then created, each with its own specific follow-up program: Innovative Entrepreneurship; Research, Development, and Innovation; Strategic Services. Understand be-low what it is and who fits in each vertical.

Innovative Entrepreneurship – Innovative Entrepreneurship (IE) vertical hosts companies that are based on technology and whose objec-tives and main project presented in the selection stage aim at its growth.

The headquarters of the companies are lo-cated at the Technology Park.

• The companies in this vertical are primari-ly SME’s and must meet one or more of the objectives described below

• Consolidation of the portfolio of products and/or services;

• Development of new products and/or in-novative services;

• Development of new, innovative produc-tion methods;

• Access to new markets.Companies in the IE vertical are monitored

by “PAE” – Programa de Acompanhamento de Empreendedorismo, the Entrepreneurship Fol-low-Up Program.

Research, Development, and Innovation – The Research, Development, and Innovation (R, D&I) vertical covers technology-based companies whose objectives and main project presented in the selection process are directed to the development of new technologies. In this vertical, the headquarter of the com-pany is outside the Park. As for the R, D&I sector, it is located inside PqTec.

Vertical R, D&I companies are moni-tored by “PAI” – Programa de Acompanha-mento de Inovação, the Innovation Follow-up Program.

Strategic Services – The Strategic Services (SS) vertical includes companies that aim at po-sitioning themselves at PqTec as a business unit to serve the resident companies and institutions.

This vertical covers services providers or technology-based companies that do not fit in the other verticals.

They are monitored by “PAS” – Programa de Acompanhamento de Serviços, the Service Fol-low-up Program

11. Nexus

Smart ideas

Nexus tra-jectory begins in 2005, when the Business Incubator of the ‘Centro de Competi-

tividade do Cone Leste Paulista’ (Cecompi), the competitiveness center of the eastern region of the State of São Paulo, was created. It was incor-porated to the São José dos Campos Technolo-gy Park in March 2016. From then on, PqTec’s entrepreneurial and innovation environment in-creased, and in February 2018, the new model called Nexus – the innovation hub of the São José dos Campos Technology Park was implemented.

The name Nexus was given based on its mean-ing: an important connection between parts of a system or a group of things. The Nexus Technol-ogy Park is a connecting hub to startups, large-sized companies, universities, and investors. Since 2005, more than 100 companies have been incubated and about 70% have achieved techno-logical and market success, becoming profitable and achieving graduation.

Nexus is formed by a comprehensive incu-bation and acceleration program, divided into stages and with infrastructure capable of housing dozens of startups, from the embryonic phase to exponential growth. By the end of 2018, PqTec housed 77 startups, which were experiencing one of the phases of the program.

In addition to rooms of several sizes and a coworking space, the program offers mentoring,

PqTec’s innovation hub includes several programs to house and encourage entrepreneurs and companies

qualification events, and networking to compa-nies. At the same time, it has an exclusive meth-odology to evaluate and promote the constant growth of startups.

The size and phase of the new company do not matter: if the idea is valid and innovative, you will find space and monitoring to take off. The phases and the methodology of the program are shown below.

Nexus Lab is the first step for entrepreneurs willing to put their ideas into practice.

• What is it? A program that supports en-trepreneurs with projects still in the plan of ideas or in the very early stage of preparation, experiencing a coworking environment.

Nexus University is a program to stimulate entrepreneurship in universities and works on two fronts: inspiring students and capturing re-search projects that have the potential of becom-ing business.

• Nexus University | Inspiration: consists of accelerating ideas in teaching and research institutions. Students are often sources of great projects and need to be monitored to get them off the paper.

• Nexus University stimulates entrepre-neurship at universities, providing sup-port in the creation of challenges, events, and even in the design and creation of startups.

• Nexus also holds lectures at universities with topics such as “I have an idea, where do I start?”, and hosts tours at the facilities of the Technology Park.

• Nexus University | Leads: Nexus works closely with universities to identify master’s and doctoral researches that have the po-tential of being transformed into business.

Projects with potential are instructed to join the Nexus Lab and Growth programs.

Mentorship and networking

Over 13 years Nexus has developed method-ologies to support the evaluation and visualiza-tion of the growth of startups. These method-ologies are different, according to the phase of the company: incubation, acceleration, or com-panies already established in the market. Get to know each methodology below.

Incubated startupsThe Incubated Company Follow-Up Method

(“MAEI” – Método de Acompanhamento das Empresas Incubadas) monitors the develop-ment of startups in six axes: Product, Market,

Management, Productive Structure, Capital, and Entrepreneur.

Each axis has specific objectives that must be achieved during the incubation period. When the startup joins Nexus, a consultant de-velops the graduation plan, which consists of distributing the goals of each axis in a timeline of up to 20 months.

A check-up is carried out at every three months to measure the company’s develop-ment, enabling the management team to sup-port startups by means of training, workshops, mentoring, and other tools.

Accelerated startupsThe Accelerated Idea Follow-Up Method

(“MAIA” – Método de Acompanhamento das Ide-

ias Aceleradas) monitors the development of the

startups in six axes: Product, Customers, Channels,

Management, Capital, and Entrepreneur. Similarly

to MAEI, each axis has specific objectives that must

be met during the acceleration period. The process is

monitored by a consultant, who maps the company

and identifies its stage of development.

In order to evolve with sustainability, startups are permanently assessed

11. Nexus

Check-ups are carried out periodically to mea-sure the development of the startup, enabling the management team to provide support via training, workshops, and mentoring, among other tools.

When reaching 80% in the Product, Custom-ers, and Channels axes, achieving the Product Market Fit, i.e., when it comes to a product and

a business model that meets a strong market demand in a recurring/scalable way, the startup enters the graduation phase, equivalent to the last six months of acceleration.

Graduated startups in the acceleration phase can also remain at the Technology Park, via the Nexus Scale Up.

Nexus carries out a series of initiatives to en-courage and qualify entrepreneurs in their most diverse challenges:

Pizza de Quinta, Papo de Primeira – An event held since 2014, every two months, always at 5pm on a Thursday, with the aim of promoting networking among entrepreneurs of the region. At the meeting, a guest entrepreneur tells its story and shares its mistakes and successes, dis-seminating information in an informal way and allowing interaction among resident startups and other entrepreneurs.

B2B meeting gathers industry clusters and resident companies

Industry Clusters

The link with companies promoted by the São José dos Campos Technology Park is not limited to those residing in its four business centers. There are also companies associated with Local Productive Industry Clusters managed by PqTec: ICT Cluster, industry clusters of Information and Communica-tion Technologies of the ‘Vale do Paraíba’ region and the Aerospace and Defense Cluster. Originally from the ‘Centro para a Competitividade e Inovação do Cone Leste Paulista’ (Cecompi), the competitive-ness center of the eastern region of the State of São Paulo, absorbed by the Park in April 2016, both Cluster had their management absorbed by the by Associação Parque Tecnológico de São José dos Campos, PqTec’s management association.

In addition to the activities already developed by Cecompi, APTSJC enhanced actions with signif-icant gains to the Cluster companies: such actions brought these companies closer to the Park envi-ronment, providing a network with representatives from other sectors and the possibility of coopera-tion and partnership with resident companies and research institutions.

There was also an improvement in the conduc-tion of and participation in events and in build-ing closer relations with the ‘Agência Brasileira de Desenvolvimento Industrial’ (“ABDI”), national agency for industrial development, and the ‘Agên-cia Brasileira de Promoção de Exportações e Inves-timentos’ (Apex- Brasil), the Brazilian trade and in-vestment promotion agency.

With the creation of the Internationalization Program by PqTec (see page 26), companies asso-ciated with the clusters, especially of the aerospace sector, expanded their possibilities of exchange with companies and institutions from other countries.

The Park seeks to encourage Cluster compa-nies to invest in R,D&I activities. Being an intrin-sic factor to IT & Communication companies, for aerospace and defense companies, on the other hand, the act of innovating helps making them el-igible to the international market.

See the pages below to get to know the achieve-ments by the Aerospace Cluster and Vale ITC Cluster, as explained above.

11A. Cluster Aeroespacial

Aerospace industry

The Aerospace and Defense Cluster was cre-ated in 2006 to bring together micro, small, and medium-sized companies from Brazil, engaged in the supply chain of the sector. Abroad, it is presented as the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster.

Its main objective is to make its associates differentiated in the global market, always in search of synergy and capacity build-ing actions ranging from process improvement, product develop-ment, miscellaneous solutions and services, to logistics and effective distribution channels. With these initiatives, it is possible to stimulate and increase competitiveness of companies in the aerospace chain.

The Cluster also articulates the formation of cooperation networks under the scope of the innovation systems, promotion of projects and researches, and actions involving govern-ment, research institutions, universities, and

companies around the globe. Over the years, the Cluster has become a benchmark of the aerospace industry for the market and for so-cial and governmental organizations, especially in relation to the articulation of micro, small,

and medium-sized enterprises of the chain among themselves and for their presentation and development of business with the large-scale industry, the for-matting of training programs

and the encouragement to attend national and international events - the most relevant to ex-pand business opportunities.

Consolidation From 2006 to 2010, the priority was that of

structuring the base of the cluster of companies, with the formation of a thematic committee, di-agnostic study, seminar and sensitization of busi-ness owners, planning workshops in cluster,

Brazilian Aerospace Cluster is unique in the country and seeks to differentiate its companies in the global market


productive arrangement and implementation of a plant of action.

After consolidating the base of the Cluster, the next step was to prospect new partnerships capable of adding value to the associates, in terms of economic-financial resources, technol-ogy, and access to new markets.

During this period, an agreement was signed with Agência Brasileira de Promoção de Expor-tações e Investimentos (Apex-Brasil), the Bra-zilian trade and investment promotion agency. The partnership was aimed at increasing the value of aerospace companies’ exports, increas-ing the number of regular exporting companies, and increasing the average exported values. For such purpose, the exposure and reinforcement of the image of the companies associated with the Cluster were leveraged with the implemen-tation of strategies to access external markets, promote the internationalization of Brazilian companies, and to form collaborative networks.

As of 2011, in order to stimulate competi-tiveness in the chain, technical and financial co-operation agreements were signed with Agência

Brasileira de Desenvolvimento Industrial (ABDI), with Embraer as the main intervening party. The actions focused on improving productive processes, strengthening business management, training and qualification in logistic administra-tion, and costs. The project was supported by ‘Associação Brasileira das Indústrias Aeroespaci-ais’ (AIAB), the Technology Park, Embraer, and technology-based companies that are suppliers and potential suppliers of Embraer.

The participation of members of the govern-ment, such as the City Hall of São José dos Cam-pos, Apex-Brasil, “IFI” (‘Instituto de Fomento a Cooperação Industrial), Anac (the Brazilian Civ-il Aviation Agency), “AEB” (the Brazilian Space Agency), Investe São Paulo, and Sebrae were also essential for the promotion and financial support of the activities at the Cluster.

The acknowledgment of the importance of the actions and the representativeness of the Aerospace Cluster led to the engagement of en-trepreneurs with the plan of action and its re-sults were fundamental for the consolidation and strengthening of the chain.

Aerospace city of the futureSão José dos Campos was positioned by the

British newspaper Financial Times as the first city

in the world in Foreign Direct Investment in the

aerospace sector, in the ranking of 2018 published

in the magazine fDi Intelligence, publication of the

newspaper specialized in the subject.

According to the report that presents the chosen

cities, the position of São José is due to the Brazilian

Aerospace Cluster, which “stimulates cooperation

among more than one hundred companies, which

aim at establishing partnerships to promote social and

economic development.”

Marcelo Nunes, coordinator of the Cluster, emphasizes

that the establishment of partnerships and the opening

of incentive and financing channels are fundamental

to the Cluster operations and for the highlight of the

Brazilian aerospace chain.

“The support of the municipality of São José dos Campos

is constant, as well as that of federal agencies, such as the

agreements signed with Apex-Brasil and ABDI”, he recalls.

Governance

On July 17th, 2018, an agreement was signed

between Botucatu Technology Park and São José dos

Campos Technology Park for the implementation of

a Brazilian Aerospace Cluster in the city of Botucatu,

state of São Paulo. Initially, nine companies will

have access to a series of benefits for their association

to the Cluster. Besides, they will be allowed to

participate in trainings, workshops and other

qualification events in Botucatu, offered

and organized by the Cluster’s headquarters team.

The governance of the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster is formed by the following institutions:

– Prefeitura Municipal de São José dos Campos

– AIAB - Associação das Indústrias Aeroespaciais do Brasil

– BNDES - Banco Brasileiro para o Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social

– Parque Tecnológico São José dos Campos

– CIESP - Centro das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo

– EMBRAER - Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A

– FIESP - Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo

– SEBRAE - Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas


Presence in the World’s leading trading showsThe participation of associate companies of

the Cluster in major events of the aerospace in-dustry increases the exposure of their services at a global level. This benefit provides more busi-ness opportunities, access to information and processes that improve the delivery of services and the quality of the products offered, and net-working with representatives of large industries.

Due to this reason, the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster always prioritizes access to information, such as schedules and relevance of events, and the opportunity to subsidize the participation of its associates. It was no different in years 2017 and 2018.

The Cluster deployed the Aerospace Brazil Sectorial Project, financed by Apex-Brasil. With the project, it was possible to subsidize shared booths at important events of the aerospace chain across the globe.

Paris Air Show In June 2017, at the Paris Air Show, a booth

sheltered 12 companies: Akaer, Altave, Aero-space Brasil Certification, Thyssen Krupp, So-braer, Avionics, Altec, AGS Holding, Troya, Am-bra, Instituto de Desenvolvimento Integrado de Minas Gerais, Massucato, and Latecoere.

The funds were worth BRL 555,146.81, with a consideration of BRL 200,490.60.

The Paris Air Show is considered the most important trade show in the segment and re-ceived, in the 2017 edition, 2,381 exhibitors from 48 countries, 322,000 visitors, and hosted the exhibition of 140 aircrafts.

In March 2018, ten companies participat-ed of the B2B Aerospace and Defense Supplier Summit in Seattle, USA. Akaer, Thyssen Aero-space, TS4i, Itakar, H8 ALS Indústria Aeronáu-tica, Delphos Aerospace, AGS Cargo, Winnstal,

Digicon, and Lace Engenharia have been in contact with the largest players of the aerospace market through meetings and lectures. Associ-ated companies visited the world’s largest air-craft plant in Everett after a special invitation from Boeing to the delegation. It is worthwhile noting that, in view of the negotiations between Embraer and Boeing, intensified in 2018, the di-rect contact with the US giant is very substantial for the supply chain. Associated companies also attended the Farnborough Air Show, held in July 2018 in England. It is the second largest event in the segment, having reported USD 192 billion in sales thousand visitors from 112 countries.

Associated companies AEL Sistemas, Aernnova do Brasil, AGS, Akaer, Alestis, Ambra Solutions, Avionics, Latecoere, Sonaca, and Vectra Tech-nology shared the Brazilian pavilion of 140m².

To Aldo da Silva Junior, Akaer’s Commercial Officer, who was present at these events, part-nerships such as the one established between the Technology Park and Apex-Brasil with the companies are essential for the Brazilian indus-try to be present in international events. “Akaer is not able to keep a booth in all events it must attend. The cost of taking the staff is high, so having the support and infrastructure is the dif-ference between going or not”, says.

The missions in international events were the highlight of the Sectorial Program, with 56 active companies, all of them with an export profile; 19 are associated with the Cluster. The table below shows the increase in export values of the companies belonging to the program. The partnership was terminated in September 2018.Articulation

The Brazilian Aerospace Cluster team acts as a mediator between event organizers and associ-ated companies. Therefore, it identifies the best

business opportunities in order to justify invest-ment in trips and payment of booths, among other strategies. And the presence of associated companies is more effective: the Cluster brand is a solid indication of trust among all partici-pants of an event. In addition, the amounts in-vested in booths and other types of exposure, when negotiated together, are lower than those charged in the market.

That is the reason for the participation of ten associated companies in the 2017 edition of the LAAD Defense & Security - Internation-al Defense and Security Fair, in April of that year. With a booth of 48 m², the Brazilian Aero-space Cluster coordinated the participation of

The Brazilian association for the defense and security industries, invited Cluster mem-bers to take part in the largest Latin American trade show of the sector, the International Air & Space Fair - FIDAE 2018, in Chile. They ex-hibited their brands, products, technological in-novations and services in the “Brazil Pavilion”. The fair took place in Santiago between April 3-8, 2018. The event counted on the participa-tion of Aernnova Alltec, Avionics, Embraer, IA-CIT, and Latecoere.

From April 23 to 27, 2018, representatives of the Cluster and two associates - Akaer and P3 Group - took part in the business mission to Germany, promoted by the Brazil-Germany Chamber of Commerce of São Paulo in partner-ship with SBS Systems for Business Solutions. The mission was focused on the civil aviation industry and included presentations, B2B meet-ings, and technical visits to companies such as Lufthansa Technique and Diehl.

In June of the same year, the Cluster institu-tionally supported BCI Aerospace, a major B2B event for the Brazilian aerospace industry. It was attended by 23 associated companies. The cluster organized meetings with an executive of Boing’s supplies sector with three associates of different profiles, which presented the variety of suppliers available in Brazil.

Also in June 2018, the management of the São José dos Campos Technology Park, the coordination of the Cluster, and six associates were present as visitors at the 2018 Ridex - Rio International Defense Exhibition.

Throughout 2017 and 2018, the Cluster offered to its companies various training pro-grams, with lectures, workshops, mid-term courses, forums, among other formats that also enable networking.

At the beginning of 2017, the Train-ing Program was provided to micro and small-sized companies in the aerospace and

The course “Qualification of Internal Audi-tors of Quality Management Systems in Orga-nizations” was held in February 2017.

The focus was to certify internal auditors according to the ABNT, NBR, and ISO 19011 standards. The action was a partnership be-tween the Park Business Hub and associat-ed company Aerospace Brazil Certifications. Twenty-one participants from 12 companies were present.

The Aeronautical Chain Development Program (“PDCA”, Programa de Desenvolvi-

A strong presenceIn Brazil or abroad, the Cluster works to boost the influence of the national aerospace chain

The Brazilian Aerospace Cluster was the headquarter, partner, or supporter of several events in the segment, which contributed to re-inforce its brand and its presence in the main discussion forums of the aerospace market.

In 2017, it held the first Brazilian Space Indus-try Forum, in partnership with the Brazilian Space Agency (“AEB”) and the Brazilian Industrial De-velopment Agency (ABDI). With relevance veri-fied by the attendants, the second edition took place at the end of 2018, also organized by the three entities and held in the Technology Park.

Also in 2017, the Cluster partnered with Price-waterhouseCoopers (PwC) to hold the 1st PwC Forum of Aerospace & Defense of the Parahyba Valley region. It also participated in the opening of the Export Qualification Program (PEIEX), pro-moted by Apex-Brasil and Fundação Vanzolini.

The Cluster signed a cooperation agreement with the European Aerospace Cluster Partner-ship (EACP) in September 2017 with the inter-mediation of Belgian cluster SKWIN. The part-nership allows the Brazilian cluster management team to gather information about new trends in the industry, opportunities of cooperation, matchmaking and offers, as well as access to discussions of possible demands, identification

high impact to the operational and productive processes of the companies.

In 2017, the agreement with ABDI was ter-minated, which focused on strengthening and training the aeronautical production chain and on developing innovative solutions and critical skills from the sector’s base of suppliers. Sever-al actions were taken, such as six workshops for production development, with the partic-ipation of more than 80 companies; five-week Kaizen, with the conduction of 36 projects to improve yield and reduce losses; participation of five companies in the implementation of a continuous improvement cell; participation of six companies in strategic planning, involving more than 40 participants/collaborators; par-ticipation of two companies in strategic export planning; creation of a technical report enti-tled ‘National Capabilities and Export Oppor-tunities for the Aeronautical Chain’.

Year 2018 began with the lecture “Tax Chal-lenges to exporting”, held at the Technology Park.

In April, ANAC representatives met with associates and the Cluster team to present pos-sibilities for cooperation, support in obtaining certifications and exchange of know-how to define requirements for the global market.

In May, a new agenda of meetings of the members was structured, divided in its four verticals - Manufacturing/Aerostructures, Engineering, Electronic Systems, and Ser-vices and Consulting. The verticals of the Cluster consist of work groups, with the pur-pose of discussing and finding solutions to the common issues of each segment of the associated companies. These meetings take place on a monthly basis, so that the actions developed by the cluster and its programs are guided by the demands pointed out at the meetings.



of problems or solutions that clusters may have in common. The first Brazil Aerospace Business Summit in December 2017 was one of the re-sults of the agreement.

With Spain PqTec signed in December 2017 a partnership

with the Spanish Association of Technology Parks (“APTE”) so that companies from the Iberian country that have an interest in the Brazilian mar-ket can install themselves in the Technology Park for up to six months in order to observe the mar-ket and start partnerships and businesses in Bra-zil. The partnership also allows the insertion of the Technology Park in the “Program of partnership for internationalization and exchange between Spanish companies and those of the Technology Park and its region”.

In 2018, the agenda of lectures, meetings and workshops was intense. The competitive-ness workshop organized by Apex- Brasil on ex-port marketing took place in March.

The Participatory Planning Workshop (“OPP”, Oficina de Planejamento Participativo)

was held in April with the objective of identifying demands and tracing actions within up to five years of all verticals in the cluster. The agenda was focused on promoting new business, inter-nationalization, and exporting associates.In May, the Cluster hosted the 1st Seminar of the Brazil-ian Aerospace Industry (“SIAB”), conducted by the Information Management Institute (e-IMI), Mult-e Engenharia Digital, and Invoz. The Clus-ter also acted as partner of the event.

In July, the Cluster organized a meeting on tax benefits to understand issues and difficulties faced by companies in the use of the benefits destined to the sector and, thus, to offer help to the associates.

It is also worth mentioning that in August the Park was visited by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), who surveyed the Brazilian innovation ecosys-tem in the aerospace sector. The Park was di-rectly engaged by MIT to coordinate meetings between representatives of the North American institute and companies and institutions of the region.

Nadcap accreditation In addition to the participation in fairs and

missions, among other events, Cluster also acts in the access to the qualification of its members and in the development and stimulation of more competitive productive processes.

In this sense, it offered the Nadcap Accred-itation Program, launched in April 2018 and expected to end in June 2019. The National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accredita-tion Program (Nadcap) is a process qualifica-tion required by the aerospace industry around the world. Its purpose is to improve quality and reduce production costs while maintaining excellence.

Embraer has already suggested the stamp since 2016 and has demanded the accreditation of its suppliers, with the end of 2019 being the deadline for companies to adapt, depending on the technologies and services. Based on this timetable, the Cluster developed the program, which offers training and guides the companies that need to pass the audit and obtain approval.

The program offered more than 100 hours of training, through collective workshops, audits and face-to-face technical consultancies, assess-ment of official pre-audit and follow-up to the official audit performed by the responsible body.

“Many companies were not aware on how the process will take place, its costs and dead-lines, nor did they have an internal staff to de-velop accreditation”, says Marcelo Nunes, coor-dinator of the Cluster.

In addition to providing easy and detailed access to information that is critical for the ac-creditation process, the associates that joined the program obtained a significant reduction in the total amount paid for the process. It is esti-mated that, individually, each company would have to disburse around BRL 50,000 thousand. With the program, the costs were between BRL

11,000 thousand and BRL 16,000 thousand, de-pending on the accredited process.

“This action has strengthened the Cluster, a pioneer in creating such an initiative. No other organization has joined forces this way to im-prove the competitiveness of companies that supply the aerospace industry”, said Nunes.

Results In December 2018, three associates were ac-

credited in a process that proved to be efficient and with few nonconformities. “As the first ac-creditation audit, the rate of use and the open-ing of nonconformities were extremely positive, as the auditors themselves have reported. This reflects the excellent joint work carried out by the Technology Park, consultants, and partici-pating companies”, said José Carlos Nogueira, officer of South America Consultoria, a partner of the Park and hired to accompany the accred-itation processes in the associated companies.

The first company being approved was Tecp-las, which received accreditation in a non-de-structive ultrasound test. Following that, Serco was accredited for the painting process of aero-nautical parts. “The program was fundamental in enabling us to achieve the goal and, conse-quently, to achieve the Nadcap accreditation. The consulting firm displayed a full mastery of the standards, requirements and, above all, it knew the view of auditors. Should we decid-ed to try to interpret the standards by ourselves and make the adjustment without assistance, certainly we would not be able to achieve the objective”, said Marcelo Moreira de Assis, CEO of Serco.

Alltec was the third partner accredited, also for the aeronautical painting process. With the Nadcap certification, Alltec is already work-ing to obtain accreditation to other production



processes, such as the manufacturing of com-pound parts, non-destructive ultrasound test-ing, sealing and testing laboratory. “To better serve our customers, with the warranty that our products and processes follow strict controls, Nadcap certification is fundamental, especially in a phase where Alltec has been expanding its

Interconnected companiesFirms from ICT sector want to go further together

The African proverb “if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go to-gether”, can be unmistakably applied to the group of com-panies around the Cluster of Information and Communication Technolo-gies of the Paraíba Valley region – ICT cluster.

Managed by the São José dos Campos Technology Park, ICT Cluster was created in 2011 and soon in 2012 was acknowledged by the São Paulo State Secretariat of Economic Development, Science, Technology and In-novation (SDECTI-SP) and by the Minis-try of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC). The associated companies are grouped in four segments of action, known as verticals: smart cities, retail, 4.0 industry, and agribusiness.

One of the reasons of the success of the cluster is counting on PqTec’s structure, providing professional syner-gy, gains of scale, shared use of equipment, and business

opportunities through partnership with com-panies, research institutes, and education and training entities at the Park.

ICT Cluster has as its main objectives:• Provide knowledge to generate perceived

value to the customer;• Implement the best practices in admin-

istrative and personnel management to support the growth of the associated companies;

• Provide an environment that is suitable for the technological development and continuous process, market practices;

RM Vale TI – Fair and Congress received more than 4,000 visitors in its fifth edition, in October 2018.

• Provide continuous qualification for the management of products and services acclaimed as world class solutions;

• Develop the competitive capacity of services provider and information and communication technology products fo-cused on quality and competitiveness.

When created, ICT Cluster gathered 25 companies, mostly from São José dos Campos. Along the years, it has consolidated its brand and relevance among ICT providers and has started to gather companies from many re-gions of the country. In the end of 2018, the cluster counted on 80 associates; little more than half from the host city (refer to table be-low). The amount represents around 2,000 job positions and an estimated annual reve-nue of BRL 270 million.

The companies supply services to the en-tire country and foreign countries as well. They are part of the business customer data-base of the United States, Ecuador, Chile, and Spain, among other countries. The income from the export of products and services is around BRL 10 million.

Governance The cluster is managed by Associação

Parque Tecnológico de São José dos Campos, with the support of renowned institutions:

• Associação Comercial e Industrial de São José dos Campos, the Association for the São José dos Campos Trade and Industry

• Centro das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo (“Ciesp”)

• Ericsson Telecomunicações S. A.• ETEP Faculdades• Instituto Tecnológico da Aeronáutica

(“ITA”), the Brazilian Institute of Aero-nautical Technology

• Faculdade de Tecnologia de São Paulo (“Fatec”)

• City Hall of São Jose dos Campos• Serviço de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas

Empresas do Estado de São Paulo (“Sebrae-SP”)

• Universidade Federal de São Paulo (“Unifesp”)

Throughout its seven years of existence, the cluster identified the demands and needs of the companies and of the market. Thus, it structured educational and training programs and identified relevant events for trade shows and visits, creating possibilities of most feasible participations.

Year of 2016 was marked by the definition of three verticals of the cluster: Retail, which in 2018 counted on 32 engaged companies, Industry and Smart Cities, with 43 companies engaged in each one of them. With the identification of the areas of action of the associates and the main demands of their customers, the ‘ICT Cluster’ team can map the needs of companies in areas of interest.

In 2017, a new vertical was created: Agribusiness, which in 2018 counted on 25 engaged companies.


An open field for ICTCompanies offer digital solutions for agribusiness

to seek potential customers. Climatempo, Geo-ambiente, STC and Optimus were the exhib-iting companies. Necto, Kersys, Squitter and Agronow visited the fair with PqTec’s experts, seeking information on the sector and subsi-dizes to analyze the agribusiness demands.

The Startups Summit for Solutions to Water Springs and Rural Area was held on June 12th, in the district of São Francisco Xavier, as part of the program of the Environment Week of São José dos Campos (SP). Companies Squit-ter, STC and 3D Tecnologia showed their solu-tions and discussed the integration of modern technologies and innovation to the life on the field.

Squitter presented weather forecasting solutions and showed the importance of in-dexes to the decision making. It is possible, for example, to forecast rain periods to manage

The integration of information and commu-nication technology (ICTs) solutions to the dai-ly routine of the rural producer is a compelling and comprising demand of the Brazilian agri-business. It is under the radar of the Agro ver-tical of PqTec ICT Cluster. In the end of 2018, the cluster counted on 25 expert companies engaged in the development of ICT solutions for the agribusiness. To be a landmark in the creation of the Agro vertical and to efficiently present it to the market, the Cluster agenda of events for 2018 included the participation in the key trade shows of the sector in Brazil.

As a sign of recognition, the Cluster was also invited, in late 2017, to participate of two important events of agribusiness sector: AGRITECH – Agriculture in Technology, on September 15th, in Birigui (SP), and the 4th Agtech Day, on November 23rd, in Piracicaba (SP). In 2018, the associates attended the ma-jor trade shows of the sector. Six companies participated, from April 11-13, of the 4th edi-tion of Expoforest – Brazilian Forestry Fair , in the city of Santa Rita do Passa Quatro (SP). As part of a joint action, the São José dos Campos Technology Park and companies Geoambiente, STC Simuladores, Optimus, Necto, Kersys, and Squitter presented products and services in a shared booth, which made costs with ex-hibition more affordable and the contact with potential clients more strategic.

From May 2-4, ICT Cluster attended Agri-show, the largest agribusiness event in Brazil, in two ways: some associates had their own stands, while others participated in a mission

Growing Experiences To meet the demand of rural producers from Porto Ferreira, a city in São Paulo countryside, four companies associated with the ICT Cluster started on August, 2018, the Fazenda 5.0 project, a partnership with Qualicitrus, a company expert in the trade of agricultural products.

In an area of 2,300 hectares, of seven producers, the partnerships are testing solutions in weather forecasting, management, and precision agriculture through georeferencing information.

In the experimental areas, potato, bean, soybean, and corn are planted in the crop rotation scheme. The idea is to measure the impact of integrating technologies to increase yield and reduce the use of inputs and waste. “It’s the first case in Brazil of integration of solutions to the agribusiness”, says Giane Santos, PqTec’s Institutional Relations Officer.

The tools of the three companies act in an integrated manner. Squitter uses its rain and weather sensors and its data analysis platform to provide weather information to 6 km2 of microareas. It’s vital for the control of the water balance of the plantation, irrigation, and forecasting the occurrence of diseases and typical pests of the indicated scenario. “Surveys developed in other parts of the world suggest that this type of solution generates up to 30% of water and power savings for irrigation”, comments Caio Souza, Squitter’s meteorologist.

Kersys contributes with its management platform, through which it is possible to manage expenses with inputs, measure yield, and adjust investments. Company Agronow enters with a productivity forecast system. Optimus Gis will enter in the second phase of the project, with its georeference information platform.

ICT Cluster shall also add other associated companies to the project, specially in the areas of Internet of Things, simulation and automation.

The purpose is that, after concluding the experience, Fazenda 5.0 project can be replied in different agricultural cultures and in any region of the country.

the irrigation systems, saving water in planta-tions, on the one hand, showed its simulators to reveal how the technology can help saving inputs in the agricultural production. 3D Tec-nologia promoted the use of biodegradable raw material for 3D printing.

Partnership with Embrapa Embrapa and the Technology Park signed

on October 2018 a term of technical collabora-tion. The partnership foresees the intermedia-tion of the research company in the approxima-tion between the productive sector and PqTec’s entities, institutions and startups, interested in the agribusiness market. The idea is to develop ICT solutions based on the claims of farmers to Embrapa.

In the dynamics of the collaboration, Em-brapa will carry the critical technological de-mands (of any region of the Country) to PqTec. PqTec, on its turn, will work as an inductor to attract companies turned to the agribusi-ness sector. “The partnership strengthens and makes it easier to attract ICT companies so that the cluster of São José dos Campos can coordi-

nate the development of the solutions, re-sponding to the tech-nological challenges raised by Embrapa”, says Marcelo Nunes, cluster ‘ICT Cluster’ coordinator.

PROMOTION


Smart and sustainable Cities The São José dos Campos Technology Park

pays special attention to Smart Cities. It is one of the ways of acting in the fourth helix – society – in the innovation spiral where PqTec operates.

The Smart Cities vertical of ICT Cluster, estab-lished in 2016, started with the Smart City Project (Projeto Cidade Inteligente), planned and execut-ed by the Park for the City Hall of São José dos Campos, from 2012 to 2017.

The project was held in the context of the Center for the Development of Information and Communication Technology (“CDTIC”, Centro de Desenvolvimento em Tecnologia da Inovação e Comunicação), of PqTec, being headed by Er-icsson and counting on the engagement of insti-tutions such as the Fundação para Inovações Tec-nológicas (“FITec”) and Faculdade de Technologia (“Fatec”), São José dos Campos unit.

Its objective was that of developing solutions to public security, mobility, transport, and traffic. A platform was developed to connect, full time, at the Center of Integrated Operations (“COI”, Cen-tro de Operações Integradas) of the city, more than 400 security cameras, a hotline to citizens, the vic-tim rescue system, and the Municipal Civil Guard. Among other benefits, the system improved the service to the population and brought more safety and quality to the traffic, with the quick identifica-tion of accidents and signaling issues or blockage of streets and avenues. It also offered information, making it possible for the Military Police and the Municipal Civil Guard to adopt measures to fight criminality.

Presença em grandes eventos As a way of bringing the associate

companies close to the market and also up-dating them on the main ICT trends in Brazil and abroad, the lCT Cluster acts as an articu-lator and makes its team available in the ma-jor events of the sector.

In May 2017, the cluster team coordinated six discussion panels at the Smart City Busi-ness trade show, in Curitiba (PR), along with the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (“MDIC”) and the Brazilian Agency of Industrial Development (“ABDI”). At RioInfo, held in September 2017, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), three associate companies partic-ipated in the event.

In April 2018, thirteen associate companies attended the Smart City Business America Con-gress & Expo (SCBA), held in São Paulo (SP). This is the most important event in Latin America on smart cities. Geopixel, Energy, Hubse, Comp-net, Geoambiente, Sil Tecnologia, Climatempo, Bootcomp, Embras, W2Conn, TI2CI, Tecsus, and Optimus had a joint exhibition in a 32 m2

booth, installed in an strategic area of the show. The joint action reduced the exhibition costs of the companies. The Cluster team also participat-ed in debates and lectures.

ICT Cluster acts as an articulator and makes its team available at the key events of the sector.

Projects that improve public management


4.0 industry

Mercosur

Besides the activities already performed by ICT Cluster in the 4.0 industry, the companies that act in this vertical will count on an extra opportunity to participate in new projects.

The Ministry of the Industry, Foreign Trade, and Services (“MDIC”) and the Brazilian Agen-cy of Industrial Development (“ABDI”) selected in September 2018 ten initiatives which will be the showcase of the 4.0 industry in Brazil. The proposal sent by PqTec, elaborated by the Proj-ects Office, was the first place in the selection.

The project presented by the Park is focused on the use of the Internet of Things (IoT), a technology to be tested and assessed in many applications of the 4.0 industry. PqTec proposes machine monitoring, the development of solu-tions in cyber security, and machine-to-machine communication as some of the solutions that will be part of its “innovative plant”, a model proposed by MDIC and ABDI. For this proj-ect, the Park will engage companies from the

aeronautic, defense and information technology sectors. There are more than 20 engaged institu-tions, among technologies suppliers and users. The initiative also includes the participation of startups in the areas of sensors, IT view, artificial intelligence and big data, among others.

“The Technology Park is available for partner-ships in all levels of the government: municipal, state and federal. This is another example: the gov-ernment is investing in the development of the 4.0 industry and we will contribute to this moment. We are an industrial region, we have to qualify our companies, too. At the same time, we are an agent for the development of public policies”, says Mar-co Antonio Raupp, PqTec’s CEO.

The Park will have a financial support of up to BRL 300,000, financed by ABDI and its pro-posal will be executed in 2019. Entrepreneurs will have to fund at least 10% of the total val-ue of the project, as an economic or a financial consideration.

12B. ICT Cluster

Eight companies associated with ICT Cluster attended the 2nd Business Summit of the Software and Shoes Sectors, from June 11-12, 2018, at the Centro de Formación de la Cooperación Espanola de Montevideo, in Uruguay.

The event was promoted by the Mercosur Productive Integration Project, coordinated in Brazil by the Secretariat of Industrial Development and Competitiveness of the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade.

Participants took a training program in distance-learning tools for designing productive integration and complementation projects for the software and shoes sectors.

The event aimed at promoting the competitiveness and internationalization of Mercosur’ small and medium companies, aligned with the cluster objectives of seeking the acknowledgment of the associates that achieved a position of highlight in Mercosur in ICT solutions.


Technology and Innovation

RM Vale TI – The Technology and Innovation Fair and Congress is already the reference event in the Vale do Paraíba region for promoting and trading information and communication tech-nologies. Its fifth edition, held from October 23-25, 2018, was a record of audience and busi-ness prospection in comparison to its previous editions. During the event, 2,500 people sub-scribed, 4,000 visitors, 40 exhibitors, and more than 40 high-level lecturers were present.

For comparison purposes, the first edition in 2013 had 25 exhibitors and 1,000 visitors. The evolution is also observed with the numbers of

the 2017 edition: 3,000 visitors, from October 17-19, and short-term business summing BRL 3 million, besides more than BRL 6 million in long-term business.

“The fair is no longer a regional fair, it is now a national fair. Not only with visitors coming from many cities of Brazil, but also with exhib-itors from other states”, said Marcelo Nunes, ICT Cluster coordinator responsible for the or-ganization of the event.

According to the exhibitors, 120 businesses will be closed until the 2019 RM Vale TI, sum-ming an estimated value of BRL 25 million.

During the 5th edition, 1,150 contacts were made between companies and 136 partner-ships were identified, according to the exhibi-tors. “It’s a region with a large potential and we could get close to companies and professionals of Vale do Paraíba, in addition to carrying our message to the participants”, says Tatiane Cos-ta, Oracle’s Demand Generation Leader, one of the exhibitors.

B2B meetings

Great novelty in the 2018 RM Vale TI, a B2B meetings were planned for the first two days of the event. More than 450 previously scheduled meetings were held, with big companies and city halls seeking solutions to smart cities, agri-business, industry, and retail.

On the first day, the event counted on the presence of 15 city halls, seeking new solutions for the development of smart cities. On the sec-ond day, 60 anchor-companies received poten-tial clients presenting ICT solutions.

Maísa Doris, Hinode Group’s Expansion Ex-ecutive, sees the B2B meeting as a great oppor-tunity for doing business. She left the event with new meetings scheduled in large institutions, such as the City Hall of São José dos Campos, Petrobras, and Gerdau.

“It was beyond my expectations. The con-versations happened in an agile and objective way, and 15 minutes were enough to present my solution. The difference is that in events like this, the big companies are open to listening, with a smile on their face, really interested in doing business”, says Maísa.

The anchor-companies seeking for new sup-pliers also saw the meetings as a big differential of the event. “The organization was excellent and we had a good number of participants”, asserts Clovis Cordeiro, GMP Marcatto’ Sales Manager.

In the view of João Wilmar de Melo, from Thyssenkrupp Automata, the business round was the great highlight of RM Vale TI. “It was one of the best business events I attended in the region”.

SectorsSince 2017, the schedule of the RM Vale TI

was organized in four segments intensively de-manding ICT solutions, and they are the focus of the four ICT Cluster verticals: smart cities, 4.0 industry, retail, and agribusiness.

Solutions from the four segments were shown in the 2017 and 2018 events. In the last year, in addition to the 40 exhibiting compa-nies, we had 24 startups at the Startup World, presenting their proposals in an area totally dedicated to them. The congress also presented specific programming in each day and gathered 12 panels and more than 40 lecturers.

“In 2018, there was a day dedicated exclu-sively to smart cities, when many mayors and municipal secretaries attended. In addition to exhibiting, we had the opportunity of partici-pating in one of the panels and we could talk a little more about our solution”, says Thais Neves, Embras’ Marketing Assistant.

Itinerant technologyThe Technology Park and Sistema Athos re-

ceived 1,500 people and leaderships from 11 City Halls at the ‘Carreta da Gestão e Inovação’, the ‘Management and Innovation Truck’, a project de-veloped in partnership between the two entities that closed its first cycle in March, 2018. From May 2017 to March 2018, 11 cities of the Metropolitan Region of the Vale do Paraiba received the vehicle equipped with a classroom to offer free courses to students, professionals and entrepreneurs.

The program was created to join forces and projects from PqTec and Sistema Athos. In ear-ly 2017, ICT Cluster was planning to create an innovation caravan, so that RM Vale cities could know better the resident companies and the technologies developed there.

At the time, Sistema Athos, with headquar-ters at the Technology Park, was implementing the management truck project, which would travel through the cities of Vale do Paraíba and São Paulo Northern Coast.

The proposal was changed into a vehicle that gave courses to the population – personal mar-keting, cashmanagement, entrepreneurship, domestic management, among other themes and talks to promote innovations to change the life of the cities, presenting technological solu-tions from partner companies, accessible and developed in the region itself.

The vehicle traveled through the cities of São José dos Campos, Campos do Jordao, Cara-guatatuba, Pindamonhangaba, Taubaté, Jacareí,

Sistema AthosSistema Athos threefolded its income and the

number of customers during its stay at PqTec.

Brazilian company Sistema Athos transferred its

headquarters to São José dos Campos (SP) downtown in

August 2018. After four years in the Technology Park, and

also as an associate of ICT Cluster’, it needed more space

and is now moving to a new building, with a 2,000m2 area

distributed in three floors.

The company arrived to PqTec in 2014, already with five

years on the market. “We wanted to be in an innovative

and cooperative environment and the Park was a big boost

in our path”, recalls Rodrigo de Motta Freitas, Athos’ CEO.

During its stay at the Park, Athos was established in the

regional market as a competent developer of commercial

management tools. Still in 2014, it won Sebrae’s MPE

award, as well as the award of the National Quality

Foundation as Best Management and Competitiveness

Company of the Sate of São Paulo.

Aparecida, Guaratingueta, Ubatuba and São Sebastião. Around 20 leaderships of the public and private sector from each city attended the technical presentations.

PqTec made the truck available through part-nerships with six associated and resident com-panies, in charge of presenting their solutions to the managers. They are: Imersão Visual (edu-cational softwares), Real Connect (Information Technology), Nectus System (geographic data), Village (brands and patents), Compnet (public safety technology) and Geopixel (geotechnolo-gy solutions).

Smart Cities There is a big demand for solutions in tech-

nology at Vale do Paraíba and Northern Coast, to make possible creating smart cities. “We need to follow these opportunities to take knowledge on the solutions available at the Park for the leaderships”, says Giane Santos, PqTec’s Institu-tional Relations.

“We had already a demand and orientation from the mayor to seek technologies to improve our management. The truck arrived at the right moment, when we needed it. This happened be-cause the Technology Park showed us that we

in the IT segment. In 2015, it participated in the Award

on Competitiveness for Micro and Small Companies,

representing the State of São Paulo in the finals, in Brasília.

Its four years in the Park were years of permanent growth

and corporate consolidation. “PqTec helped us fight for our

space and appear in the market”, assesses Freitas.

The presence at PqTec also brought the first international

experience to Athos. In a visit to the Park in July 2014,

Rafael Correa, at the time President of Ecuador, heard from

Rodrigo Freitas the solutions provided by his company. The

President was interested, and the first step was taken so

that Athos could be established in Ecuador, which occurred

in 2016, in the city of Yachay.

From 2014 to 2018, Athos threefolded its income and the

number of customers was twice the number of employees.

When it moved to its new headquarters, the company had

more than 140 collaborators, 4,000 customers, and 30

thousand users. It counted on 15 sales representatives in

the States of São Paulo, Pará and Amazonas. “We want to

double the size of the company and the income until 2020”,

says Freitas.

Rodrigo Freitas was also a member of PqTec’s Board of

Directors. “The Park provides a very positive networking,

specially with technology companies, besides the exchange

of experiences. I share the view of the Park and I intend to

keep myself close to it”, reveals.

“Sistema Athos left the Park because it was very successful

and this makes us really proud; the company was fully

developed in here. The Park acts as a facilitator for the

growth of the companies, and we really want them to need

more space to grow even more”, says Marco Antonio Raupp,

PqTec’s CEO.

Campos’ City Hall made an agreement with Geopixel, resident at PqTec. The company pro-vides decision making solutions regarding geog-raphy. “We plant a seed to start a management creation process for smart cities. We got to open the managers’ eyes to the possibilities, which gave us space for new meetings”, says Manoel Ortiz, Geopixel’s Director.

Compnet, an associate of the Park, is also reaping the benefits of the promotion made by the truck. It is negotiating its product with Pinda-monhangaba, Caraguatatuba and Guaratingueta City Halls. The solution presented by the com-pany acts as a big integration hub among the municipal sectors, within a command and con-trol central in the safety, construction, health, power efficiency and water consumption areas. “It is a big information hub, so the manager can make decisions based on clean and clear infor-mation. The highlight of the truck is making possible a first contact with the managers in a special environment”, arguments Luciano Trin-dade, Compnet’ Sales Manager.

TrainingIn partnership with Associação dos Empresários

do Chácaras Reunidas (“Assecre”), from São José

dos Campos, the first Showroom of Solutions

for the 4.0 Industry of the Metropolitan Region

of Vale do Paraíba was held in 2017. A total of

28 companies presented services and products

related to the theme.

In the same year, the Cluster signed a cooperation

in the area of smart cities to public and private

municipal leaderships.

Regarding the strategic and governance

strategies, the training program managed by

Sebrae-SP, exclusive to ICT companies, was held

in 2017 and 2018, counting on the participation of

several associates. A series of courses was made

available until late 2018, with themes such as

Meeting of representatives from companies of ICT Cluster


The Technology Park has as one of its ob-jectives to create business opportunities and new projects for companies and partners, fo-menting competitiveness and sustainability.

To shape this purpose, the Business Office was created as a refuge for companies seeking strategic partnerships and growth mechanisms in an exclusive services network.

The services suppliers enrolled at the Of-fice offer a customized service to the interest-ed companies, with proposals in many areas of knowledge and results in the management and access to the market.

The companies enrolled in the Business Hub act in nine areas:

• Communication and Marketing• Process Planning and Management• Legal Counseling • HR and People Management• Brands and Patents• Fundraising• Supply chainTo optimize the meetings between the ser-

vice suppliers and the companies linked to the Park, in 2018 the 3600 Counter (Balcão 360o) was created. The initiative uses networking and relationship concepts for the business events developed by PqTec’s team.

Through 360º Counter, the Business Hub promotes free networking and consultancy events to promote the interaction between companies and institutions wanting to join the demands to the solutions and services.

The events have the participation of a spe-cialized network of consultants – profession-als, companies and researchers whose works are recognized and accredited by the Technol-ogy Park.

The events happen in three fronts: Manage-ment, Technology and Business.

Management 360º Counter Management happens

through a free round of service, with accredit-ed consultants in the nine areas of the Business Hub’s action. The proposal, in this case, is that the companies served can improve the man-agement tools and processes.

In 2018, three 360º Counter Management meeting happened. In March, 94 services were performed; 52 in April and 97 in July. See the search by action area:

Technology Brazil has a big challenge with regard to tech-

nological innovation: overcoming the historic gap existent between the industry and the univer-sity. The Technology Park knows the importance of being close to the academy and the companies’ scientific research that, together, can change the academic works into innovation and new pro-cesses. 360° Counter Technology receives uni-versities and research institutions to share with

the companies new discoveries and solutions in many different areas.

Three events of 360° Counter Technology were performed in 2018.

The first one was performed in June, in partner-ship with the National Laboratory for Nanotech-nology (LNNano), and it counted on the participa-tion of 11 companies and 23 services.

In August, there was a meeting between com-panies and professors from Fatec São José dos Campos, with the theme: University as a Tool for Competitiveness. There were 13 companies partici-pating and 27 services.

Projects Office

14. Projects Office

PqTec takes, for itself and third parties, all the steps of a project involving knowledge and innovation

Technology Park’s Projects Office was created to prospect, structure, execute and implement technological and innovation development proj-ects through the cooperation between companies and universities.

The Office has as objective the raising of pub-lic and private funds to foment the projects exe-cution and the application of fiscal incentives as Lei do Bem (Goodwill Law) and Lei de Informat-ica (IT Law).

Through the Projects Office, the Technology Park maps the opportunities, according to the following examples:

Thus, the Park acts as a connection environ-ment and boosting innovation. This generates a virtuous circle of employment, income and taxes collection, providing social and economic devel-opment to the companies and institutions linked to PqTec.

Projects Office was the creation of the

Research Laboratory in Radiotherapy, a partner-ship the Federal University of Sao Paulo (Uni-fesp) and Varian Medical Systems (refer to page 89). Another one was the Auditive Manufactur-ing Center for the Health Products Industry (re-fer to page 93).

Partnership with FIA One of the activities of the Projects Office in

2017 was leading the understandings and the achievement of a partnership between PqTec and FIA Business School to provide short-term cours-es in Projects Management. Given on December,

2017, the program, in a workshop format, was assigned to a group of 40 professionals from PqTec and from companies linked to it. FIA is one of the main business school in Brazil.

In the end of 2018, another partnership with FIA was established, be-tween the Technology Park, time, to offer a 10%

discount to professionals of the companies linked to the Park in all the extension, lato sensu, stricto sensu and MBA courses given in São Paulo and São José dos Campos. From March, 2019, the Foundation will offer the following short-term courses at the Technology Park:

Mission in Sweden On October, 2017, before the creation of its

Internationalization Program, PqTec was repre-sented by the Projects Office in a committee that participated on the Program Immersions in Inno-vation Ecosystems, in Sweden, promoted by the Swedish-Brazilian Center of Research and Inno-vation (Cisb), with the support of the National Confederation of Industry (CNI).

The resident companies Troya and Lace inte-grated the Brazilian committee, which also counted on representatives of the Ministry of Science, Tech-nology, Innovations and Communications, science and technology institutions and companies.

The group participated in lectures, workshops and made technical visits to universities, research centers and companies, including the Linköping University, Mjärdevi Science Park and Saab, aero-space defense and safety company.

AgreementAlso as a result of the Projects Office’s work,

PqTec celebrated a partnership term with the In-stitute of Advanced Studies (IEAv), on May, 9th, 2018. The initiative aims to prospect and develop projects with resident companies and associates.

The idea is that PqTec acts as mediator between technologies offered by the Institute and

the companies. “IEAv is a traditional and reputa-ble research institute. PqTec role is showing the capacity and experience of the institute to the companies, creating opportunities from the proj-ects it develops”, asserted Marco Antonio Raupp, Park’s CEO.

IEAv is an international excellence and ref-erence institution in aerospace field research, focused on the development of strategic technol-ogies for the Brazilian Air Force. However, these works can also be applied to processes in the industry.

For the Air Force Colonel Abreu Faria, IEAv Director, the meeting between both institutions was a landmark of a great moment for the region-al strategic planning. “This will boost innovation, technological development and the sustainable development”, he said.

PatentsThe Projects Office, in partnership with Un-

esp Innovation Agency, promoted on October, 2018, a free workshop on patents drafting.

The course was given by Axonal Consultoria Tecnológica. The company has already made ad-visory and consultancy works to big industrial groups and technology-based companies and it provides services of prospection, induction and support to development and trade of new prod-ucts and technology platforms.

The workshop guided the participants on the first steps in patents drafting, including search performance, identification and reading of relat-ed documents, definition of the invention’ scope, decision on the best protections, drafting of claim scope and descriptive reports.

Research and development

15. Laboratories

Companies of all sizes and sectors have access to PqTec’s Laboratory

At the Technology Park Center and at the universities installed in its surroundings there is a total of 60 laboratories. Their existence and availability for use by companies consti-tutes one further benefit of PqTec for the re-gion with regard to Research and Development (R&D) activities.

Such laboratories are organized in four mo-dalities: the ones administered and owned by the Park; the ones owned by the Park, but with an outsourced administration; the outsourced ones installed at the Park’s Center and with own management; and the ones owned and managed by educational and research institu-tions installed at PqTec’s Center and at the Uni-versity Town.

The resident companies at the Park and also installed out of it can have access to the labora-tories. The purpose is making easier the access to test and essay equipment that the companies have no conditions to acquire. And the ones that have such equipment have, with the Park, the option of not interrupting their production to perform tests or experiments.

Another benefit: when recurring to the Park’s laboratories, the companies can count on the counseling of specialized professionals for the development of their projects, in case they need this service.

In the end of 2018, PqTec had two laborato-ries: Center for the Development in Manufac-turing (CDM) and the Laboratory for Simula-tion and Critical Systems (LSC)

There was a laboratory in phase of equipment installation: the Laboratory for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference (EMI/EMC).

The Robotics Laboratory is owned by the Park and its management is made by the com-pany Entev – Robotics and Power Integration.

The laboratories from the Institute of Sci-ence and Technology from São Paulo State University (ICT-Unesp) and the Laboratory for Light Structures – LEL – are also installed at PqTec’s center. Financed with federal and state funds, the LEL is administered by the Institute of Technological Research (IPT). At the surroundings of the Nucleus, the labora-tories from the Technology School (Fatec) and the Institute of Science and Technology from the Federal University of São Paulo (ICT-Uni-fesp) are found. Many of these laboratories are opened to the possibility of use by companies.

Laboratories• Center for the Development in Manufac-

turing (CDM)CDM holds the Laboratory of Mechanic

Prototyping and Mechanic Metrology. It has the purpose of serve PqTec’s internal and exter-nal companies, offering measurement, tooling and CNC programming.

Around BRL 3.6 million were invested re-sources coming from Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID) through the Sec-retariat of Economic Development, Science,


Automatic Tape Laying Machine – ATI – from the Laboratory of Light Structures


Technology and Innovation of the State of São Paulo.

The CDM offers state-of-art technology for subtractive manufacturing. There are three, four, and five axis CNC machines, also wire-cut electro discharge machines, conventional lathe, CNC three-dimensional metrology table, band saw, and drill press.

The Center is a space turned to research and development of new processes and prototypes, focused on small and medium-sized compa-nies. Some of the services that can be devel-oped at the CDM are lathe turning, milling, drilling, boring, threading, wire-cut electrical discharge machining, CNC/CAM program-ming, and CNC milling.

• Laboratory for Simulation and Critical Systems (“LSC”, Laboratório de Simu-lação e Sistema Críticos)The LSC has the purpose of serving the

companies with IT simulation services in the area of fluid dynamics, engineering structures, and fluid-structure interactions, besides the assignment of infrastructure for technological development.

Also coming from BID’s resources, the Lab-oratory of Simulation and Critical Systems re-ceived investments of around BRL 2.24 million.

The LSC counts on a high performance computer to processing data and on a com-mercial software capable of meeting the re-search and development demands. It is possi-ble to conduct studies and develop solutions for already existing processes or to create new products and processes through 3D drawing in CAD software (Catia, for example), behavioral analysis of structures or components, and fluid analysis in CAE (for example, Ansys). An im-portant point is that all the software licenses are commercial and not academic, allowing

their use for the development of end products.The structure of the laboratory is available

at an affordable cost and with the support of qualified professionals of the Technology Park and its partners.

Fast Prototyping The Laboratory for Critical Systems also has

two 3D printing machines for components to be used as prototypes or end product: one with FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling with the ABSPlus material) technology and the oth-er with 3D Polyjet technology (liquid resin).

It also has a 3D scanner (scanner and probe) for product scanning and possible remodeling (reverse engineering).

• Laboratory for Electromagnetic Compatibi lity and Interference (“EMI/EMC”)The EMI/EMC Laboratory is in final phase

of configuration and installation and it will be inaugurated in the first half of 2019. It will be turned to the research and the development of products of different areas, such as defense, aeronautical, motor vehicles, industrial, elec-tro-medical, and other developments in the in-formation technology area.

The testing environment is formed by a shielded anechoic chamber, control room, and amplifiers. Such equipment has been already installed and tested.

The equipment for the implementation of the first phase of the laboratory, involving radiated emissions testing and to be performed at the 26 MHz to 40 GHz band, was acquired in June, 2017 from Rohde & Schwarz do Bra-sil. The equipment arrived at PqTec in Febru-ary, 2018, being assembled by the company in

the following month, with training provided in late April.

The next phases of the project will demand

other sets of equipment, and the São José dos Campos Technology Park is still seeking for financial resources and partners to manage the laboratory.

Other Laboratories • Parkbots - Laboratory for Automation

and RoboticsParkbots was inaugurated in June 2018, as

a result of a partnership between the São José dos Campos Technology Park and company Entev – Integração e Robótica e Energética.

The objective of the partnership is that of promoting the shared use of PqTec’s laboratory facilities to foster social and educational actions, training programs, and many courses turned to the strengthening of industry clusters, of tech-nology-based companies, and other institutions demanding specialized workforce in robotics or the development of projects and processes in this type of laboratory. The activities are focused on the aeronautics, automotive and metal-mechanic sectors, specially in the cutting, welding and la-ser areas for companies of different sizes. There is also the expectation of installing new equip-ment, such as robotic paint booths for the aero-nautical and automotive sector.

The prices for the services provided by Parkbots to the companies associated to the industry clusters are different and competitive. Any company or institution can make use of Parkbots’ portfolio.

Another proposal of the Laboratory for Au-tomation and Robotics is the offer of profes-sional and technical courses, in any branch of industrial robotics. During the classes, students can use robots identical to the ones found in the production lines. The certifica-tions are recognized by the main robot manu-facturers in the world.

15. Laboratories


Third-party laboratories installed at PqTec• Laboratory for Light Structures (“LEL”,

Laboratório de Estruturas Leves)Managed by the Instituto de Pesquisas Tec-

nológicas (IPT) and funded by BNDES, Fapesp, Finep, and SDECTI-SP, the LEL has the objec-tive of using new materials, such as compos-ites, light metals, and carbon fibers, to develop structural components.

IPT is at the São José dos Campos Tech-nology Park since 2008, through the Light Structures Center. The LEL, inaugurated in 2012, occupies around 4,400 m2 of Business Center III.

Several large-sized equipment are installed on the site, dedicated to research in the themes of composite structures, friction processing, and superplastic forming of metal structures, as well as hybrid solutions.

Part of the infrastructure for composite studies is installed in a clean room of 1,600 m2, including two automatic lamination machine for pre-preg material, one for low curvature surfaces (Automated Tape Laying – ATL) and the other for high curvature surfaces (Auto-mated Fiber Placement – AFP).

The permanent IPT team in São José dos Campos counts on 10 researchers, two of them being PhD, four masters, and two master’ stu-dents. In addition, there are partnerships with Brazilian and foreign universities, where grad-uation students perform part of their works at the LEL. In 2017, a cooperation agreement was signed with The Brazilian Institute of Aeronautical Technology (ITA). The LEL par-ticipates in all the phases: design, simulation and structural analysis, and the manufacturing of real scale compounds, undergoing testing, prototypes and maintenance issue analysis. In

this sense, year 2017 represented an important moment of growth, once new research projects were contracted with companies of the aero-space, automotive and oil & gas sectors. The LEL closed year 2018 with 11 projects in its portfolio.

• Laboratory for Environmental Tests (“Siatt”)This laboratory consists of an infrastruc-

ture assembled by a resident company, Siatt, acting in the defense sector and offering tests that meet, among others, international military standards. The laboratory is prepared for tests and essays of vibration, acceleration, thermal conditioning with high and low temperatures, and combination of thermal conditions with vibration. The laboratory is installed at Busi-ness Center IV.

• Laboratory for Electric Discharge Tests (Lace Engenharia)A pioneering project in Brazil, Lace Engen-

haria’s ray laboratory has the capacity to test indirect effects of rays in aeronautical and mil-itary sub-systems and equipment. Thus, elec-tro-electronic equipment developers may qual-ify their products as per aeronautical standard RTCA/DO-160G (Section 22) and the new ver-sion of military standard MIL-STD-461G. With such characteristics, it is a laboratory that com-plements the Laboratory for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference (EMI/EMC).

New dataThe study for the creation of PqTec’s Map of Laboratory Skills

started in 2017. In its first phase, a survey was performed with

educational and research institutions with the objective of

identifying laboratories and sharing possibilities. The second

step of the mapping process started in 2018. Now, the proposal

is that of making the map more comprehensive and of seeking

not only the laboratories from educational and research

institutions, but also those from private companies, to create a

broad laboratory network.

RadiotherapyresearchThe Laboratory for Radiotherapy Research

was inaugurated in August 2018, a

partnership among the Technology

Park, Universidade Federal de São

Paulo (Unifesp), and Varian Medical

Systems, multinational manufacturer

of medical devices and software for

treating cancer. The initiative also counts

on clinical partners from Hospital São

Paulo and AC Camargo Cancer Center,

both located in the city of São Paulo.

The laboratory is headquartered at

PqTec and the researches will also be

performed in laboratories of other

partner entities. Initially, the laboratory

will be used to conduct projects of

software development and operation

involving 3D planning for radiotherapy

and EPID (Electronic Portal Imaging

Device). The EPID is a imaging device used

in radiotherapy equipment to correctly

position the patient at the moment he/she

receives the radiation dose to be applied

in the treatment. The software that will

be developed is unique worldwide, and

must impact the treatment of cancer with

radiotherapy at a global level.

The solutions aim at optimizing the

treatment of cancer, reducing the

time necessary for physicians to make

decisions to indicate the area of the organ

affected that must receive radiation.

Another advance will be the first images

provided by EPID from linear accelerators

– equipment used in radiotherapy. Most

accurate images allow for a more efficient

treatment.

The Technology Park will act to expand

the partnerships with companies and

other universities, seeking business

opportunities that can be generated by

the laboratory. There will be incentives

for the participation of startups.

16. Technology Development Centers

Technology PartnershipsPqTec gathers companies and ISTs in Technology Development Centers

Company of different sizes and Brazilian or foreign R&D institutions can create collabora-tive projects at the PqTec’s Technology Develop-ment Centers (“CDT’s”, Centros de Desenvolvi-mento Tecnológico).

Each CDT is usually turned to a specific theme, and it must count on an anchor-com-pany or research institution, hold at least one structuring project, and have its coordination headquartered at PqTec.

The first one being created was the Aeronau-tical Technology Development Center (“CDTA”, Centro de Desenvolvimento Tecnológico em Aeronáutica), in 2006, which had Embraer as the anchor-company. The Brazillian Institute of Aero-nautical Technology (“ITA”) and the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas de São Paulo (“IPT”) were also part of the project. The agreement ended in May 2016, after the conduction of a set of studies and research, showing the success of the model.

In 2017, the activities of a CDT in the area of

Communication and Information Technologies were closed, and CDT was created to advanced manufacturing. In 2018, two were inaugurated: one for research in waters and environmental sanitation; another in cyber security. The oldest CDT is operation is dedicated to the health area.

The Park counts on a team to frame the projects in laws stimulating R,D&I, such as the ‘Goodwill law’ (Lei do Bem) and the ‘IT law’ (Lei de Informática).

What are the benefits companies have when leading a CDT project?

• Institutional visibility.• Efficiency – use of shared resources and oper-

ation in conjunction with partners to use the already existing distributed qualifications.

• Technological cooperation for structuring resources qualification projects in public fostering agencies such as Fapesp, Finep, and BNDES, and also for accessing private financing such as Venture Capital, Seed Money, and Private Equity.

• Articulation with universities and ISTs, for project cooperation and execution.

• PqTec’ support to seek sales and business de-velopment opportunities with the projects.

Health technologiesThe Center for Technological Innovation

in Health (“CITS”, Centro de Inovação Tec-nológica em Saúde) was created in 2009 and it is coordinated by the Center of Innovation,

Technology and Education (“Cité”, Centro de Inovação, Tecnologia e Educação), a private, non-profit legal entity under that gathers pro-fessionals interested in promoting scientific and


technological research and education in Brazil. The Center has partners: Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp), Universidade Estadual de São Paulo (Unesp), Universidade Anhem-bi-Morumbi (UAM), and Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São José dos Campos.

The CITS is engaged in research for the de-velopment of health technologies in several ar-eas: new materials and prostheses, image pro-cessing, laser diagnosis and treatment, ozone, analysis of structural characterization of organ-ic molecules and computer-assisted medicine, among others. It develops around 60 research projects, as reported next.

The Force of Ozone The amniotic membrane has been increasing-

ly used in the regeneration and reconstitution of human tissue in almost all areas of regenerative medicine. For such, sterilization and storage techniques that present total safety and reliabil-ity are required. Ozone is considered a potent oxidant agent, with microbicidal activity, capa-ble of destructing bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, and of inactivating virus. Based on such consid-erations, the CITS researches the disinfection

of placental membranes with ozone, in lieu of conventional antibiotics. The technique offers several benefits, such as non-induction of mi-crobial resistance and non-generation of toxic residues to the environment.

Different Biomarkers The CITS performs studies on Raman Spectroscopy, a technique capable of identifying biomarkers in the urine of diabetic, hypertensive and chronic kidney patients, providing biochemical and structural information of organic and inorganic compounds. The investigation of the biochemical changes in urine is important to identify possible biomarkers which can have value as predictive diagnosis. Raman’s technique is extremely important in biological material analysis, with several advantages: it does not need prior preparation of samples nor the use of reactants, being non-destructive and requiring a small volume of biological fluid, with the possibility of.being more efficient than the existing methods

Transcranial LED Therapy The Transcranial LED Therapy (TCLT)

PROMOTION

Biophotonics Laboratory of the Center of Technological Innovation in Health



developed by the CITS allows for applying visi-ble and infrared radiation over the cranial vault, to treat neurodegenerative diseases and cerebro-vascular stroke. The treatment is not invasive and prior works showed expressive results in the increase of the intracranial blood circulation and in the improvement of symptoms presented by patients with cerebral disorders.

Risk of Neonatal Death The research in diffuse system supporting

the decision for risk of neonatal death aims at identifying, stratifying, and weighing in ad-vance the newborn vulnerable to diseases or with risk of death. A model based on Fuzzy Logic is employed, making it possible to use of

the existing infrastructure of healthcare estab-lishments, seeking the reduction of newborn mortality.

Diagnosis with Artificial Intelligence Another research aims at the early diagnosis

of breast cancer using thermography and im-age interpretation by algorithm based on arti-ficial intelligence. The method is non-destruc-tive, non-invasive, fast, economic and painless, and it allows for anticipating up to a decade the diagnosis of cancer, since it is able to iden-tify changes in the microcirculatory system of breast blood, which may indicate the risk of nodules appearance.

Cyber securityIn June 2018 the Park announced the cre-

ation of the Center of Development of Cy-bernetic Information Technology (“CDTIC Ciber”). The activities are coordinated by company Energy Telecom and by PqTec, and developed by universities, research institu-tions, and partner companies.

The creation of a research and develop-ment center in this sector is unique in Bra-zil. “For the first time, an initiative integrates a technology park, educational and research companies, and institutions to develop and offer solutions and products in cybernetic in-formation technology”, says Giovani Mariot-to, officer of Energy Telecom.

Avaya Brasil and Check Point are among the companies part of CDTIC Ciber. The Cen-ter will be in charge of the implantation of the first cybernetic defense laboratory in Latin America, which will provide services in this segment to organizations of all sizes. The pur-poses of the CDTIC Ciber are:

• Attracting research and development institutions, manufacturers of services and solutions, and universities to act in partnership.

• Disseminating knowledge through train-ing and certification offered by the insti-tutions; promoting the creation and de-velopment of new solutions and services.

• Stimulating innovation and interaction between companies and universities.

• Promoting the creation and development of new technologically-based companies focused on cyber security.

• Immediately offering products and ser-vices already available to the companies part of the CDTIC.

• Creating a cybernetic defense laborato-ry, formed by a highly qualified team, to supply services with safety, preventing, detecting, analyzing and responding to incidents related to the cybernetic secu-rity of an organization.



Research for the Paraíba do Sul River BasinThe Technology Development Center for

Waters and Environmental Sanitation (“CDTa-sa”, Centro de Desenvolvimento Tecnológico em Águas e Saneamento Ambiental) was inaugurated in June 2018. It is coordinated by PqTec and by the Pro-Management Association for the Waters of the Paraíba do Sul River Hydrographic Basin (“Agevap”, Associação Pró-Gestão das Águas da Bacia Hidro-gráfica do Rio Paraíba do Sul), with the interven-tion of the Integration Committee of the Paraíba do Sul River Hydrographic Basin (“Ceivap”, Comitê de Integração da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Paraíba do Sul). The project also foresees the participation of academic institutions such as Unesp, Fatec São José dos Campos, and Escola Politécnica of Univer-sidade de São Paulo. The City Hall of São José dos Campos is a signatory of this center.

CDTasa was created from the need of foster-ing research, prospecting innovation projects, and making interventions in the Paraíba do Sul River Hydrographic Basin, the largest in the Brazilian Southeastern region, serving 184 cities of the States of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro. The city of São José dos Campos, headquarter of the Park and center, is the largest city of the basin.

Request for ProposalThe Technology Park and Agevap launched a

RFP in July 2018, aiming to select, for pre- qual-ification, projects turned to the improvement of the basic sanitation conditions in the area of coverage of the Paraíba do Sul Hydrographic Basin. The proposals will also boost the devel-opment of science and the local/regional, social and economic growth.

The projects should approach one of the three theme streams: wastewater treatment; loss control in water distribution system; and recy-cled water production in wastewater treatment plants. The proposals should contemplate a set of requirements: design and prototype of a mod-ular station for wastewater treatment to cities with up to 2,000 residents or small communi-ties at the Paraíba do Sul Basin; design and pro-totype for the loss management and controlling system in water distribution systems; design and prototype for recycled water generation in wastewater treatment plants.

In this context, three projects of companies were pre-selected. The works are expected to begin in early 2019.

The projects selected by this RFP will be pre-qualified for possible RFP by Agevap, with the objective of identifying and selecting cities where the pilot of the generated prototypes can be implemented.

Advanced manufacturingCross-sectional application of innovative

projects in advanced manufacturing. This is the object of studies and researches by the Technology Development Center in Ad-vanced Manufacturing (“CDTMA”, Centro de Desenvolvimento Tecnológico em Manufatu-ra Avançada). Created in 2017, it gathers

companies and institutions of different sec-tors, which can apply technologies in many areas. For example, technologies used in the aerospace sector, which can be employed in health; innovative projects of the defense area, which can be applied to the energy and automotive sectors.


The Center of Additive Manufacturing for the Health Product Industry (“CMAIPS”, Centro de Manufatura Aditiva para a Indústria de Produtos para a Saúde) was created inside the CDTMA, in October 2017, with the proposal of developing metallic and non-metallic prostheses and ortho-ses. The business partners will be on a non-exclu-sive basis.

The project was structured and routed to the Ministry of Health in order to have the benefits of the National Health Fund (“FNS”, Fundo Nacion-al de Saúde). It was approved in terms of merit and content in December 2017; in the end of 2018, it was under assessment for possible approval of the requested financial resource. As of March 2019, the contacts with the Ministry of Health must be resumed to define possibilities and the feasibility of the project. In parallel, the Park also keeps touch


with business partners to identify possible scenar-ios that make the project feasible through private investment or a public/private composition.

The CMAIPS was structured with the partic-ipation of the following institutions:

• SPDM – Associação Paulista para Desen-volvimento da Medicina

• Unifesp – Universidade Federal de São Paulo - São José dos Campos Campus.

• Unesp – Universidade Estadual Paulista - São José dos Campos Campus.

• INT – Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia - Rio de Janeiro.

• GAESI/Poli/USP – Management and Auto-mation, IT - São Paulo.

• CTI – Centro de Tecnologia da Informação Renato Archer - Campinas.

The equipment at the PqTec’s Center of Development in Manufacturing will be used by the CDTMA.

Smart CitiesIn 2017, the activities of the Center of Development of Cybernetic Information Technology, Communication and Multimedia were closed. Created in 2012, the “CDTIC” was focused on the development of management software technologies for city halls, mainly in areas such as transport and safety, involving cloud computing, broad band, and mobility in its innovation platform.

For such purpose, the Center was anchored by Ericsson and counted on partnerships of science and technology companies and institutions, such as National Institute for Space Research (Inpe), Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp), The Brazillian Institute of Aeronautical Technology (ITA), and Fundação para Inovações Tecnológicas (Fitec).

Smart Cities Ericsson and the Technology Park, through the City Hall of São José dos Campos, developed the ‘Cidade Inteligente’ (Smart City) Project. The work consisted of the integration and management of an emergency response system, making the city the first one to introduce shot and climate effects detection sensors, measuring the temperature, humidity and carbon gas levels. São José dos Campos was also benefited from the introduction of a public wi-fi network and a smart public street lighting system.

The Smart City project received investments of BRL 45

million. Other projects performed by Ericsson and other partners, such as, for example, Fundação para Inovações Tecnológicas (FITec), received more than BRL 45 million. Investments of BRL 90 million were made in R,D&I projects.

The CDTIC had its structuring projects closed early in 2017, with the conclusion of the Smart City project.

Long-Term Results

The works of the CDTIC paid off. The City Hall of São José dos Campos continued the Smart City project in a new phase. It increased the number video surveillance cameras, installed a new control and operation center at the Technology Park, expanded the connectivity, mainly by spreading the fiber-optic network all over the city, new sensors, and the deployment of new system apps. This is another positive outcome of the CDTIC projects covered by FITec. The Foundation established new projects and had a significant and recent expansion inside PqTec, resulting from its own process, compatible with the objectives and mission of the Technology Park.

Thus, the CDTIC has successfully met its objectives of promoting and enabling the performance of structuring projects which can be unfolded into new projects, new high qualification jobs, and management of revenues to companies.

17. Events Center

Workshops, lectures, congresses, trade shows, among other events, are an important tool to generate connection and synergy in environments such as a technology park. For this reason, PqTec counts on its own Events Center, for its own use and for rental to third parties.

The many areas, sectors and projects of PqTec held 111 events in the 2017-2018 pe-riod. In 2018 alone, there were 63 events, at-tracting more than five thousand people.

The Events Center also received more than 200 other events between 2017 and 2018, or-ganized by other companies and institutions, some of them PqTec’s associates and residents. These events included seminars, trade shows, training programs, and congresses. The four auditoriums, with capacity for 80 to 800 people, meeting rooms, yards and exhibition areas, are used by companies and public and private institutions. The Center also holds shows and fairs with educational and com-mercial focus. Its portfolio of clients includes the Military Police, the Fire Department, in-ternational chambers of commerce, compa-nies of the region and universities, among others.

As attractions of the Events Center, we highlight the infrastructure with 1,500 park-ing units, security, business center, pantry, bathrooms, accessibility and management, in addition to the environment with highly qualified audience. Thus, it becomes the main choice for business events promoters.

It also offers a space for stimulating entrepreneurship and to help small and me-dium companies promoting and selling their products and services. In 2018, more than 60 companies used this space.

In the 2017-2018 period, the Technolo-gy Park had a revenue of BRL 867,000 from events, which includes revenues from the main fair of the Park, the ‘RM Vale TI’, which generated more than 300 indirect jobs in com-panies of the services sectors.

Social Entrepreneurship Qualified support to micro sellers and service suppliers

18. Entrepreneur Galleries

Mini Shopping Castelli, an unit of the Entrepreneur Galleries (Galerias do Empreendedor) program, in the district of Putim, Southeastern region of São José dos Campos.

Instituted in 2012 by the City Hall of São José dos Campos, the ‘Entrepreneur Galleries’ program is a social entrepreneurship initiative to support micro-entrepreneurs and thus cre-ate prosperity and development in a region of the city.

Managed by PqTec, the galleries are shop-ping malls away from the downtown area that serve as a new reference in their neighbor-hoods, stimulating the social and economic development of their surroundings. There are two units of the program: one in the district of Campo dos Alemães, Southern region of São José dos Campos, and the other in the district of Putim, Southeastern region of the city.

The project boosts the entrepreneurial spirit of the population in these regions – in general, low income people – when transfer-ring in an adapted and customized way the knowledge on how to establish and imple-ment a business. In this sense, the entrepre-neurs pay a symbolic occupation rate, sub-stantially below the market values. Different types of training programs are also offered by the entrepreneurs established at the Galler-ies, in addition to events in commemorative dates, activities for the population and 24/7 banks, actions turned to the recognition of the galleries as an interaction, facilities and shopping environment.


A successful story The Campos dos Alemães Entrepreneur

Gallery has stories of success and resilience.

Three of these stories are from entrepreneurs

graduated in late 2018, who left the program

with the objective of growing their business in

commercial points of the neighborhood.

Eroni Rodrigues, 40 years old, transferred to

the Gallery the pet shop he kept at the back

of his house, with informal service and scarce

equipment. To start the work, he acquired

more equipment, all second-handed.

Besides the pet grooming, he sold pet

merchandise and started training those willing

to have a pet. During his stay at the Gallery,

Eroni got an Engineering degree – and paid his

studies with the revenues of his pet shop.

Carlos Roberto, 51 years old, left the Gallery

to bring his restaurant to a larger place.

Along the years, he stayed at the mini

mall, learning that innovation was vital for

being ahead of the competition: he created

a sandwich delivery service and kept the

establishment opened much later than the

other entrepreneurs of the mini mall.

The hair saloon of Regilene Pereira, 40 years

old, also moved to its own location in the

district. Before being installed at the Gallery,

Regilene had worked in one of the most

famous hairdresser’ shops of the city, where

she could learn unique techniques. With such

unique experience and with the support of

the program, she drawn the attention of the

neighborhood customers and her shop was a hit.

18. Entrepreneur Galleries

Selection The galleries are similar to mini shopping

malls, with ten spaces each, for establish-ments such as eyewear shops, beauty shops and pet shops, among others. Entrepreneurs are selected through RFPs, opened once a year or according to the availability of rooms.

Entrepreneurs registered in the selective process attend workshops to learn how to create a business plan and how to enroll as an individual micro entrepreneur (MEI). All the training and guidance are provided by PqTec’s collaborators, in partnership with Sebrae.

The selected applicants take part of train-ing programs, consulting, lectures and trips to search information for the period they are in the program – each company can occupy one space for 60 months.

Characteristics Both units present the same blueprint and

services:• 547 m2 of built area, with 10 individual

booths with 20 m2 and a 10 m2 mezzanine• 97 m2 of multi-use yard• Dressing rooms, toilets, parking lot,

24/7 banks, cleaning service and CCTV with 24/7 security.

The program was closed in 2008 for the Campos dos Alemães unit, with five booths occupied. In the district of Putim, the year ended with eight booths occupied. A new RFP is expected for February, 2019.

In 2017 and 2018, four companies grad-uated in each year. All of them opened com-mercial points in these districts, with the idea of expanding their business and growing – main purpose of the program.


19. Universities

Education and researchThe existence of the Technology Park con-

tributes to substantively increase – in the entire region of Vale do Paraíba – both the offer of slots in the free and quality Public Universities and the performance of first line scientific and tech-nological research.

Based on year 2018, the education and re-search institutions installed at PqTec offered 22 undergraduate programs, with a total of 1,560 positions in the first year, and 14 graduation programs to 287 students.

In terms of scientific production, the num-bers are also relevant: 201 works presented in congresses, 245 scientific articles published, and 307 ongoing research projects.

To host the classrooms and laboratories supporting these activities, PqTec provides a 760,000 m2 area dedicated to education and research institutions, known as Cidade Universitária (Campus). The site hosts the campi of Universidade Federal de São Paulo

(Unifesp) and Faculdade de Tecnologia de São Paulo.

Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) has a reserved land, where its campus will be built; for now, it operates at facilities of Business Cen-ter III (Business center III), which also includes an unit of Universidade Anhembi-Morumbi.

PqTec also hosts an unit of Universidade Vir-tual do Estado de São Paulo (Univesp), which offers 200 positions per year in distance learn-ing Business center. At the closing of the 2018, this center counted on 374 enrolled students.

The existence of these institutions contrib-utes to the Park meeting one more objective: to facilitate and boost the university-enterprise cooperation, mainly with the conduction of Research & Development projects with part-nerships (refer to page 20).

The following charts show the numbers re-lated to the end of 2018 of the education and research institutions at PqTec.

UnifespThe Institute of Science and Technology of

Universidade Federal de São Paulo (“ICT-Uni-fesp”) started its activities in São José dos Cam-pos in 2007, with the undergraduate program in Computer Science, followed, in 2009, by Com-putational Mathematics. In 2011, the bachelor’s degree in Science and Technology (“BCT”) was introduced, with a three-year duration and, since 2013, the admission into the institution only occurs with this program, which offers 200 positions per year in the daytime period, full time, and 100 in the night classes.

Formerly installed in the central region of São José dos Campos, in 2014 the ICT-Unifesp was transferred to PqTec. Its main character-istic is that of gathering the biggest number of engineering and exact sciences programs among the six Unifesp’s campi.

The BCT is based on a cross-curricu-lar pedagogic project, where students can choose, after conclusion, for the continuity of one of the specific education programs (post-BCT): Biotechnology, Computer Science, Bio-medical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials Engineering, and Computational Mathematics.

At the graduation level, there are eight master’s programs and four doctoral pro-grams, which responded, in late 2018, for the conduction of 167 research projects.

ICT-Unifesp is also in charge for 11 exten-sion programs, such as the Educational Cen-ter of Social Technology and Solidary Economy, Free Software Education, and Digital Inclusion of Professors from the Public Network.

The building where it is installed has 21 laboratories, 20 classrooms, auditorium with 400 seats, library with 30,000 volumes and

university restaurant with capacity to serve 1,200 meals per day.

Its location at the Park enables the collab-oration with other universities and companies turned to the technological innovation. Some examples of the ICT- Unifesp participation in partnerships are found in page 20.

UnespThe Institute of Science and Technology of

São José dos Campos, of Universidade Estadual Paulista (ICT-Unesp), was created in 2013 and succeeded the School Faculty of Odontology of São José dos Campos. ICT-Unesp is in line with the needs and characteristics of the region, fa-mously turned to the development of science, technology and innovation.

The Odontology course is still ministered in a building at the central region of São José dos Cam-pos; the Environmental Engineering program, created in 2012, is at the Technology Park.

The engineer with a degree from ICT-Unesp

has a basic general, humanistic and techno-logical education, common to the engineers of all the modalities. In addition, the Institute provides solid education in the environmental engineering field of action, turned to the sus-tainable development and comprising social, ecologic, technological and economic aspects of the environment.

The program has a multi-task curriculum, covering the biological, exact and social scien-ces areas. There are more than 80 ongoing research projects. In 2018, the ICT- Unesp’s environmental engineering course got maxi-mum grade at the National Exam of Students Performance, Enade (refer to table below).

Environmental Engineering ProgramThe Environmental Engineering program of Unesp’s Institute of Science and Technology, in São José dos Campos, was awarded the highest grade in 2018 at the National Exam of Students Performance (Enade) and in two higher education quality indexes arising from the exam – the Enade Concept and the Difference Index Among Expected and Observed Performances (“IDD”). These results, presented by the Ministry of Education, in October, 2018, is related to the fact the program is offered by PqTec.

Enade Concept is calculated from the performance of the students concluding the undergraduate course. IDD measures

the program’s added value to the students development, taking into account their performance at Enade and Enem. According to both criteria, the Environmental Engineering program was awarded the concept 5. The grades were the highest of the country both in general knowledge and specific knowledge. The IDD concept was also the maximum, indicating the contribution of the program to the formation of the future professional. Based on these results, the São José dos Campos program is ranked first among the 251 Environmental Engineering programs existing in Brazil. Unesp Offers this program in four

campuses: São José dos Campos, Sorocaba, Rio Claro and Presidente Prudente. The program was created in São José dos Campos, 2013 and offers 40 positions per year, full-time regime, and with total duration of five years. To professor Silvio Simões, who has coordinated the program in its first years, it is not possible to form good engineering students away from the labor market. “The interaction with the companies of the Technology Park was vital for the performance at the Enade. Several students are or were interns of companies from here”, says.

For the current program coordinator, Fernando Carvalho, the added value is owed to the quality of the education, as well as

to the opportunity of acting in areas related to environmental engineering which consolidates knowledge and promotes a solid education.

The Technology Park’s environment also contributes to the development and growth of the students, who have access to trade shows and congresses, and who experience a professional environment on a daily basis. The proximity with Cemaden (Centro Nacional de Monitoramento e Alerta de Desastres Terrestres) is also important. “It is the only engineering program inside a technology park in the State of São Paulo. It is a very innovative initiative, bringing good results” summarizes Carvalho.

Univesp The Virtual University of the State of São Paulo

(Univesp) was created with the purpose of making technology serve education and therefore contrib-ute to the universality of the higher education ex-cellence in Brazil. Univesp’s center at PqTec counts

on a classroom at Business Center IV (business center IV). There are 50 computers to test students of distance-learning undergraduate programs in Computer Engineering, Production Engineering, Pedagogy, and Mathematics.

Universidade Anhembi-MorumbiAnhembi-Morumbi offers, at the Technolo-

gy Park, the master’s and doctoral programs in Biomedical Engineering. They have a interdis-ciplinary nature, joining theoretical basis with specific research in biomedical engineering.

Training of professionals to act in the engi-neering-health interface, developing studies, treatment and rehabilitation of human diseases. They are offered by 15 postdoctoral professors, who also advise 60 research projects.

Instituto Tecnológico de AeronáuticaThe Brazillian Institute of Aeronautical

Technology (ITA) is a federal higher educa-tion institution linked to the Air Force Com-mand, specialized in science and technology, mainly in the aerospace sector. It was created in 1950 and it is considered as a reference in engineering education in Brazil. Since 2017, it maintains an ITA Space at PqTec – the first

unit of the Institute out of its campus, located in the facilities of the Department of Aero-space Science and Technology, in São José dos Campos.

The ITA Space was created so that the in-stitution becomes closer to the productive sector, fostering research, mainly in the aero-nautic and aerospace sectors.

Science, technology and innovation institu-tions (“STI”) are at the Technology Park to en-rich the environment with synergy and collab-oration among the several players that seek and perform research, development and innovation activities.

These institutions are nationally and inter-nationally highlighted in their areas of action.

Cemaden Since 2015 the headquarters of the Nation-

al Center for Monitoring and Alerts of Natu-ral Disasters (“Cemaden”, Centro Nacional de Monitoramento e Alerta de Desastres Natu-rais) are at the Technology Park. The Center has the main objective of gathering and pro-viding information that can safeguard lives and decrease the social, environmental and economic vulnerability arising from natural disasters. For such purpose, it acts in partner-ship with several institutions to complement and consolidate the network of meteorolog-ical, hydrological and geotechnical instru-ments for environmental monitoring.

Cemaden’s headquarters, installed at Busi-ness Center IV, counts on a team of around 180 professionals. Among other activities, they perform the continuous monitoring of the en-vironmental parameters potentially causing

natural disasters of hydrologic (floods) and geodynamic (landslides) nature in 958 Brazil-ian cities considered as priority.

The warnings are sent to the National Cen-ter of Risk and Disaster Management (“CE-NAD”, Centro Nacional de Gerenciamento de Riscos e Desastres), from the Ministry of Regional Development, which transfers these alerts to the state and municipal Civil Defense bodies. Until the end of 2018, Cemaden had already sent more than 10,000 warnings.

The Center also develops different re-search and technological tools turned to the monitoring and transmission of warnings of natural disasters of hydrometeorological na-ture. The Institutional Plan of Research and

Cemaden’s control room, installed at the Business Center III, from where the natural disasters risk warnings are sent in 958 cities.

• Private area: 24 million m2

The Center comprises the area under responsibility

of São José dos Campos Technology Park Association

(“APTSJC”, Associação Parque Tecnológico São

José dos Campos). There, the Park’s management,

laboratories, resident and incubated companies and

science and technology institutions are located,

among others.

The Park’ surrounding area belongs to Urbam,

a company maintained by the City Hall, and it is

assigned to public or private institutions with

relevant activities to the Park’s development and

in synchrony with APTSJC. Fatec, Unifesp and

Akaer are in this area. In the private area, private

property lands are found and their occupation must

be related to the objectives of the Park, as the

Technological City (refer to page 34) In 2017, with

the end of the works and inauguration of Business

Center IV, 4,115 m2 were added to the built area of

Business Center I’s Cafeteria PqTec’s main entrance, facing Via Dutra Road.


22. Perspectives

The Future

Expansion

APTSJC is constantly aware and ready to act towards the future of the São José dos Campos Technology Park. Thus, it

presents below the most important aspects and what must be done so that PqTec keeps its expansion.

Technology Park’s Special ZoneTo boost the actions promoting the urbaniza-

tion and occupation of ZEPTEC, attracting invest-ments from different sectors of the economy, in addition to other real estate ventures strengthen-ing the interaction with the resident and associate companies of the Technology Park. To promote the consolidation of the ventures Tech City and MRV, under implementation phase.

CampusTo attract new educational and research insti-

tutions to PqTec’s Campus and to strengthen the bond of those already installed at the Technology Park. To increase to increase and widen the inter-action between students, professors and research-ers, resident and associated companies, and allow the offer of new courses. Above all, to strengthen the installation of Unesp campus in land already assigned for this purpose at ZEPTEC.

To attract and promote the installation of in-teraction and convenience environments to the real estate ventures installed at ZEPTEC (build-ings for students residence, restaurants, hotels, gyms, gas stations, small businesses...) and near the Campus, increasing the attraction and cre-ating long-lasting bonds between the people and the academic and business community of the region.

Technology Park CenterTo increase the implementation of new in-

teraction environments and the installation of services supplying companies to support the growth of the “residing” population, attending the Technology Park. This growth results from the increase of resident companies and institu-tions, from the increase of business and institu-tional operations, added to the growing installa-tion of ventures at ZEPTEC.

Industry ClustersThe current market demands say that new

technologies must have special treatment in the next years. They mean the feasibility of prod-ucts and services that will bring benefits to the society, most efficient, more compact or cheaper products.

• Considering its infrastructure and experi-ence, PqTec must give priority in the next years to new projects related to the follow-ing sector, among others:

• Smart Cities • 4.0 Industry


22. Perspectives

• Health-Applied Technologies• Electric and Hybrid Vehicles – approxima-

tion to Cluster• Economy and Services Digitalization• Cyber security

Smart Cities Evolving from a trend to a strategic view of

the cities of the future, the technologies and projects for Smart Cities will be strongly in-creased with new features which will best serve the populations of cities and regions. The ob-jective is to provide better public services, more safety and more operational efficiency, resulting in the most rational and efficient use of natural, human and financial resources, and in the im-provement of the quality of life of its citizens. For a more comprehensive smart city project, a robust processing and storage platform, inte-gration of the different subsystems and safe and available connectivity will be necessary, collect-ing and changing the data from the different de-vices distributed to the city and region in useful information for the decision making process.

The generation of useful information for the management of a smart city is given through big data and artificial intelligence technologies, possibly using IoT concepts and technologies, however the elements of storage security and information traffic are increas-ingly demanded.

An important step of the Technology Park as a facilitator for the implementation of inno-vations for the companies and for the public sector will be the implementation of a smart city living lab, able to integrate market solu-tions and devices and under development, to assess and validate these technologies, as well as making available these solutions for demonstration and experimentation of the Brazilian cities.

4.0 IndustryWith laboratories of Advanced Manufactur-

ing, Modeling and Simulation, Robotics, and Additive Manufacturing, some already in opera-tion and others being installed, PqTec will have a solid laboratory base to develop solutions within the 4.0 Industry concept, also by making available an integration platform for concept testing of industrial digitalization devices.

There is also an important number of insti-tutions installed at the Park that should partic-ipate, independently or through projects, in co-operation with industrial solutions.

Some investments, in connection and inte-gration with such laboratories infrastructure, will be necessary for providing the best results to develop solutions.

Health-Applied Technologies Currently, health is one of the three areas, along

with education and security, of higher demand in the Brazilian society.

Many solutions in medicine, equipment, gen-eral inputs, prosthesis and implants are import-ed, with really high prices and delivery deadlines. Thus, they are a high burden to the public health system and the health care plans are not satisfying to the population.

PqTec is engaged in promoting and managing projects that help with the high costs and delivery deadlines of items demanded by the health system, to reduce importing.

Taking into account Anvisa’ strict requirements for approval of items for human application, the capacity developed for the health area will be auto-matically applicable to other areas, such as aeronau-tics, space, defense, and motor vehicles.

Electric and Hybrid Vehicles of the Automotive Sector

The new automotive market will demand


electric vehicles of shared use and with high level of operational autonomy, dismissing driv-ers in the future.

These new vehicles will be produced in a lower pace than the internal combustion ve-hicles industry and for individual use mainly. There will be a great deal of on-board electron-ics, high set of sensors in the vehicles and in the public roads, with integrated controlling systems for autonomous operation in a plat-form similar to that supporting the smart city systems.

These vehicles will be very close to the sys-tems used in aviation, making the automotive and aeronautical productive chains closer and able to supply to one sector or another.

Thus, the current aeronautical productive chain, with companies associated to Cluster Aero, coordinated by PqTec, can be expand-ed to meet the automotive market as well. It must be observed that the automotive chain can also meet the aeronautics, but new op-portunities will also be created for PqTec’s companies.

Another point to be highlighted is that PqTec

has already a set of companies and institutions able to develop, through a well-structured pro-gram, a new electric vehicle with conditions of participating in this new market that is coming.

Additionally, Brazil has a great opportunity of developing a national company for vehicles production, since it is implanted in short-term, with proper policies and investments for such. In this scenario, the city of São José dos Campos and PqTec can also be important protagonists, with possibilities of economic, social and insti-tutional income.

Other Technologies Other themes that will possibly be a priori-

ty in PqTec’s actions refer to clean and sustain-able energy, agribusiness, and some themes in the aeronautical sector related to aircraft main-tenance, airport infrastructure, and air control system.

IoT-related projects, cloud computing and cybernetic security will be in the list of new projects to be developed at PqTec in the next years, as consequence of more specific demands in the ICT area and the CDTIC Ciber itself.

ICT ClusterThe ICT Cluster is recognized as a reference by

the state and federal governments. However, the sector’s development necessarily undergoes the na-tional interrelation of ICT business skills and the connection of the offers with the global market.

Currently in Brazil there are 33 ICT clusters, and São José dos Campos can be an integration hub between these clusters. A similar model happens in Europe, making market strengthening and pros-pecting actions easier.

The internationalization and export process of solutions of cluster ICT Cluster will be widened

in the next years. With the world demand by de-velopers, the global digitalization strategy of the different sectors of the economy and services brings a short-term opportunity for many com-panies to expand their market to other countries. Thus, as it happened to the Aerospace Cluster, PqTec’s role will be that of promoting the training, certification, use of new computational tools, and application of global methodologies of efficiency and quality, so that companies associated with in-dustry cluster can meet in a robust and efficient way the demands to come.

22. Perspectives


Aerospace Cluster

Nexus

The management of the Aerospace Cluster has promoted actions along these 11 years to increase the level of maturity of its companies, whether by developing the intellectual capital, by promoting global business, by international-izing and by continuously seeking for efficiency and quality of its deliveries. The proof was the NADCAP program, a landmark for the cluster in 2018, as well as an intense work so that com-panies export more, diversifying their interna-tional clients’ portfolio, depending less on the internal market.

Besides the positive expectation with Boeing in the demanding market of the national chain, the Cluster has growth opportunities in other fronts – even bigger than the parts and systems

business, as the case of the Maintenance, Repairs and Operations market (“MRO”). All the global companies have considerable growth perspectives for their fleets and specialized and certified companies will be required to perform the maintenance of the aircrafts, latent skills of our companies.

Thus, PqTec’s role comprises re-structuring the Aero Cluster in order to remain serving the demanding market of parts and systems, but also mapping, organizing, understanding and preparing the companies to access the MRO market, a leverage for the internationalization of companies and an attraction to foreign invest-ments, widening businesses and developing the region.

Innovation environments are dynamic, agile and in constant development to meet the new demands as a way of remaining attractive to en-trepreneurs, startups and shareholders. For this reason, in February 2018, a new model was im-plemented to boost the generation of new busi-nesses: Nexus – the Innovation Hub.

The São José dos Campos Technology Park developed the entire program’s methodology. It is a robust initiative, in the same level of the most important innovation programs and environ-ments. The physical environment that hosts the venture players is underlying to Nexus, with vital importance to leverage the success of the startups. It’s about an interaction environment, boosting creativity and, mainly, offering well-being and synergy among startups. This space was recently expanded to meet the growing demand of new entrepreneurs and it was consolidated in the new

Nexus Innovation Hub coworking space that, in late 2018, reached the capacity of hosting up to 54 startups in a same physical space.

Nexus Brand As a baseline of the strategy for the next

years, there is the strengthening of Nexus brand and its programs. The rebranding of the São José dos Campos Technology Park innovation environment, now called Nexus, opened new doors, making it possible the entrance of one of the largest technology centers of the coun-try in the new innovation era. The efforts will then turn into the consolidation of this front for the national and international entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Nexus Corp In late 2018, Nexus Corp, a program that

22. Perspectives


has the objective of making easier and accel-erating the innovation process of large compa-nies through the startups, acted in two main fronts: open innovation and matchmaking. Along the year, the program was launched and validated before the large industries. The objective then, from this point forward, con-sisted of strengthening the Nexus Corp scope of action, intensifying business generation and further accelerating the program’ startups development.

Nexus University Nexus University, a program to promote

the entrepreneurship culture in the education-al institutions of the region, was developed and tested along the years of 2017 and 2018. The next steps include the formatting and consolidation of the program’s action meth-odology, as well as its expansion to other cit-ies and regions of Brazil.

Nexus Scale Up In the end of the 2017-2018 period,

Nexus Scale Up only counted on five start-ups, 80% of which already counting on a ven-ture capital investment. The consolidation of Nexus Scale Up is foreseen for the next two years through the attraction of new start-ups and companies in scale phase and the im-plementation of a new specific training pro-gram and events, with the purpose of turning PqTec and Nexus as a reference also for start-ups and companies in traction phase, seeking exponential growth.

The creation of an environment in the open innovation concept is foreseen to boost the Nexus Scale Up, comprising development and innovation teams of startups and con-solidated companies, promoting networking and fostering the synergy among the teams of

different businesses, boosting the growth and development of technology-based innovative products and services.

Nexus Capital Since 2018, Nexus has connected angel in-

vestors and Capital Venture funds with resident startups. Thus, it makes possible for entrepre-neurs to connect with investors that have the investment thesis deemed most suitable to their businesses and to seek smart money with more assertiveness and freedom.

For 2019 and 2020, Nexus intends to launch the Nexus Capital program to consolidate this pool model of angel investors and Capital Ven-ture funds as one of the actions to boost the Nexus startups, mainly those under the Nexus Scale Up.

Nexus Living The work environment of the largest inno-

vation centers of the world has been through significant changes in the last years. The fact is that many workers tend to spend most of their lifetime in a same company. What happens in this environment has a huge impact on their life and health quality and the organizations has increased their understanding that the yield of their collaborators is directly related to the quality of life in the work environment.

This quality, in turn, is directly related not only to devices and equipment providing phys-ical comfort, but also to the possibility of inter-acting and creating bonds to the people shar-ing the environment. Based on this context, a new concept is born, materialized in a new vertical of the program: Nexus Living, which through the benchmark with the main inno-vation environments of the world, will be fo-cused on transforming the Nexus’ physical en-vironment both in relation to the architecture

22. Perspectives


and furniture, such as the inclusion of deco-rative and interactive elements to improve the

LaboratoriesAPTSJC’s purpose regarding the laboratories

remains in the strategy of widening the quantity of multi-user units in the Technology Park. The Park’s laboratories make allow for companies to perform studies, tests and essays, activities that companies hardly access by their own means. The

inauguration of the Laboratory for Electromagne tic Compatibility and Interference will be a leap-for its R&D infrastructure and also for the pro-vision of external services, allowing in the me-dium and long terms the generation of private revenue to the Park.

InternationalizationNexus Global

During 2018, PqTec widened its actions and the insertion of the local ecosystem to the international level.

For the next years, the objective is to con-solidate the international presence of the Park and to widen the participation of the resident companies in the external market.

The following measures will be adopted:

• Start and development of a global culture at the startups.

• Attract foreign investments, companies and global O&D centers.

• Widen the presence of the local companies in the international environments

• Consolidate PqTec as a global technology and innovation hub.

APTSJCNew Innovation Environments

Lastly, APTSJC’s goal will also be that of boosting and promoting actions to partici-pate in the implementation of new innovation

environments in other cities, in addition to pro-viding methodology and technical and opera-tional support to strengthen and widen the op-eration of other Technology Parks.
