Energisa Develops New Program Aiming to Encourage Professional Qualification for a Technology Hub in MG to Be Built. Registrations Can Be Made Starting in May.
Energisa launched the ‘Rio Pomba Valley’ project on Wednesday (27), which aims to unite the talent of audiovisual creation in the Zona da Mata with new digital technologies to develop an environment conducive to the generation of innovative businesses, integrated with local reality. The project will initially provide professional qualification with market skills to develop an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, the basis for promoting the creation of a technology hub in MG.
Energisa Project Will Open Registrations in Early May
The inauguration of the Rio Pomba Valley in MG will have the presence of Ricardo Botelho, CEO of Energisa, as well as representatives from the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), with participation from the Federation of Industries of the State of Minas Gerais (FIEMG) and also the National Service of Learning (Senai), which will be one of the partnering providers of professional qualification.

Learn About the Four Pillars of Energisa’s Professional Qualification Project
The choice of the Zona da Mata in MG encompasses, at the same time, Energisa’s century-old history and its vision for the future. The municipality of Cataguases, part of the region, grew alongside the company, which is currently considered the largest private group in the electricity sector in the country. More than 100 years later, the group relies on its innovation strategy to continue advancing and transforming the region of MG.
According to Ricardo Botelho, the project is just the first step, focusing on professional qualification and generating opportunities for the creation of an innovation and creativity ecosystem in the Zona da Mata region.
Leveraging an ecosystem with vocational education institutions, universities, and a strong history of creation and entrepreneurship, the Rio Pomba Valley is born to meet the needs in technology. The Program operates based on four essential pillars for Energisa, such as partnerships with private and public organizations to boost the initiative, creating an environment for the development of medium and small businesses, education with professional qualification through the formation of an innovation and creativity ecosystem, and community interaction and cooperation between companies, startups, and universities.
