Participants who complete the required hours and fulfill the required activities receive a professional qualification certificate issued by IFB.

This strengthens the resume and broadens opportunities in recruitment processes in the technology field. Additionally, it can serve as a differentiator for those looking to work as independent developers.

Enrollment Open Until Spots are Filled

The enrollment is free and takes place exclusively online, via an electronic form. The period runs from February 20 to 28, 2026, but may end earlier if the 200 spots are filled.

Classification occurs based on the order of complete documentation submission. Those exceeding the limit will automatically be placed on a waiting list.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Balloon the size of a stadium spends 25 days alone over Antarctica at nearly 37 km altitude and returns with data on cosmic antimatter that may reveal one of the rarest clues ever sought about the existence of dark matter.

Forget common renewable energy: HydroWing prepares a 10 MW project in Indonesia to transform ocean currents into predictable electricity, using turbines installed on the seabed in a region where the funnel effect between islands increases tidal potential.

While most dealerships in Brazil take days to deliver cars, in Germany two 48-meter glass towers hold 800 vehicles and release each model via automatic elevators in a few seconds.

Goodbye to workers assembling rebar on construction sites: intelligent robot carries and positions more than 2.2 tons of rebar per hour, ties 1,200 intersections per hour, and promises to cut up to 50% of the schedule in bridge construction projects.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: robot places more than 2,000 bricks per day, automatically applies cement, works with only one human operator next to the machine, and transforms traditional masonry into a high-speed semi-automated operation.
