The State of RJ Wants to Strengthen Its Participation in This Trillion-Dollar Global Market by 2030 and, Through Alerj, Representatives and Specialists from the Naval Industry Debate the Best Directions Brazil Can Take to Achieve This Goal

At a public hearing held this Monday (21), the Commissions for Naval Industry, Offshore, and the Oil and Gas Sector, and Science and Technology of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj), discussed the creation of a maritime cluster (technology hub) with representatives from public universities and scientific institutions in the state. During the meeting, the CEO of the Gerencial Projetos Navais Company (Emgepron), Admiral Edésio, pointed out that the Brazilian naval sector can generate hundreds of direct jobs by 2030.

“Rio de Janeiro has everything to become one of the main global centers for ocean economy development. There is no other place in the world with such potential. It is expected that by 2030, the ocean economy will contribute an added value of three trillion dollars, which represents about 5% to 6% of the global economy. In addition, the expectation is to generate hundreds of direct jobs, as well as indirect jobs,” said the admiral.

Edésio also enumerated the potential points of Rio to solidify a maritime cluster. “We have a natural maritime vocation, as well as geographical, social, institutional, cultural, and technological proximities among various economic agents. This is not only in relation to the industrial-commercial segment but also to public and private institutions, and especially to the academic environment. We have more than 50 universities and major research centers, such as Petrobras, COPPE/UFRJ, and the Technological Center of the Navy of Rio de Janeiro,” he explained.

The director of Emgepron also suggested the creation of an “Authority for the Development of the Ocean Economy.” According to him, the agency could be established within the structure of the State Secretary of Industrial Development, with the goal of leading, in an integrated and coordinated manner, the issues related to exploring the maritime potential of the state of Rio de Janeiro.

As the committee president, Deputy Célia Jordão (Patriota) highlighted the effort to seek dialogue with the Executive and other bodies for the formation of a collaborative governance to boost the sector:

“We are broadening discussions on investments in infrastructure and market qualification, aiming to promote a great unity in favor of the recovery of the naval sector’s growth. We will schedule a meeting with Governor Cláudio Castro to discuss development measures for the naval and offshore industry sector,” stated Célia Jordão.

The economist and director of Alerj’s Fiscal Advisory, Mauro Osório, emphasized the importance of establishing an organization to identify opportunities for the economic development of Rio.
“We need to work systematically. The armed forces have a very strong presence in the state, and there is practically no interaction between state leaderships and the armed forces. Today, 80% of Petrobras’s suppliers are outside of Rio, so we need to see great opportunities for the economy. We still have the State Sovereign Fund, which was created precisely with this objective, and we will discuss how we can use these resources to structure the economy of Fluminense,” he commented.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
