Investments in the Electric Sector:
The Minister emphasized that the country needs to improve the quality of investment in science and technology, and that the ministry has been working hard to formulate public policies in this area. “The PTI has provided valuable services to Itaipu and, regarding the electric sector and other sectors of the economy, can also contribute. We hope that these policies will help sustain these PTI projects,” says Bento.
The Itaipu Technological Park:
The PTI also hosts three university campuses, totaling 27 specialization courses, 10 master’s programs, and six doctoral programs. The space is frequented by 7,000 people, including professionals, students, and professors.
General Silva e Luna, who also accompanied the visit to the PTI, said, “The PTI has solutions for issues that are critical worldwide, such as cybersecurity. And often these solutions are not so well-known. So, it is important to have this kind of exchange with the Ministry of Mines and Energy, so that this type of action can be replicated in other structures across the country.”
