Innovation and Scientific Collaboration in the New Science Park

The new building will be part of an ambitious project called Science Park, a collaborative innovation hub that promises to integrate universities, technology institutes, and research centers.

According to information released, the Science Park will have two main fronts: to support scientific development and research, as well as to foster collaboration with startups and innovative projects.

This project is financially supported by the Financing Agency for Studies and Projects (FINEP) and aims to strengthen the innovation ecosystem not only in Bahia but throughout Brazil.

Ford and Automotive Intelligence: The Future of Mobility

Since its establishment in 2022, Ford’s Development and Technology Center at CIMATEC Park has been one of the main pillars of the company’s new business model in Brazil.

This is one of nine engineering centers of Ford worldwide, dedicated to creating the future of mobility with a focus on electrified vehicles, connected technologies, and autonomous technologies.

With a team of over 1,500 highly qualified professionals, the center dedicates 85% of its time to global projects, being responsible for one-third of the functionalities and technologies present in the brand’s cars.

Expansion and New Jobs: The Economic Impact on the Region

Ford’s current facilities at CIMATEC Park include six buildings, totaling 6,000 square meters of offices, virtual reality labs, and areas for disassembly and analysis of components.

The company plans to further expand its presence with the construction of a new engineering building, which will accommodate up to a thousand people and include offices, development labs, training areas, and an auditorium. The completion of the construction is expected by early 2026.

According to Alex Machado, Director of Product Development at Ford South America, “this expansion reinforces Ford’s commitment to continue investing in Brazilian talent and positions us as one of the most competent development centers of Ford in the world.”

In addition, the partnership with SENAI CIMATEC is seen as crucial for this expansion, providing a high-qualification and innovation environment.

Experts believe that the expansion not only reinforces Ford’s commitment to innovation and the development of cutting-edge technologies but also brings with it the promise of new jobs in the region.

Moreover, the construction of the new building and the expansion of activities at CIMATEC Park are expected to create job opportunities for engineers, technicians, and professionals in various fields, contributing to local economic development.

Ford, devoradores de recursos em vários países,pois no momento em que a isenção de impostos
acabam eles partem para outro lugar deixando uma multidão de desempregados e indústrias em situações muito difíceis. O que importa para eles na verdade é manter suas altas metas de lucros.
