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.
