Great Leaders in Technology Join Forces in Cataguases to Empower and Innovate in the Energy Sector

At the heart of Cataguases, Energisa has become the epicenter of technological innovation. Between October 16 and 19, it opened its doors to professionals from renowned companies such as Google, Microsoft, and KPMG. The event, called “Tech Week,” promised to offer a rich exchange of knowledge with lectures on emerging technological trends in the energy sector.

The highlighted topics ranged from Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) to cybersecurity. This wealth of content was made available not only to Energisa employees but also to students from partner institutions, such as Senai, Sebrae, Doctum, and CEFET.

In addition to theoretical learning, Energisa hosted its first Hackathon. This technological marathon, open to the general public, attracted more than 300 registrations. Participants, including programmers and designers, faced the challenge of creating solutions based on artificial intelligence for real problems. Energisa, in its mission to foster innovation, provided technical resources, mentoring, and its extensive knowledge in the sector to enrich the experience of those involved.

Energisa: Promoting Local Development

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

While a regular building may take years under construction, in London two towers of 44 and 38 floors were erected with more than 1,500 ready modules and reduced the timeframe by 42%.

Giant ship from China docks at the Port of Paranaguá for loading 14.2 thousand tons of cellulose and reinforces the advancement of exports at Paraná ports after improvements such as the deepening of the access channel and dredging to accommodate larger vessels.

The building that looks like it was assembled as a giant toy in Singapore used 1,866 concrete modules, formed two 40-story towers, and brought 505 apartments to the top.

While the US Navy lines up 122 ships in the Golden Fleet, Russia is launching the 35-meter, 208-ton Sarmat ICBM that carries 10 warheads and reaches 35,000 kilometers.

China built the largest railway station in Asia in just two years, with 475,200 m², solar energy, welding robots, and smart technology.
