WSIS Prizes Contest 2022 Nominee

Technological Park of São José dos Campos (PqTec)

Description

Our mission is to promote science, technology, innovation (C, T & I) and entrepreneurship, aiming at competitive and sustainable development. To do so, we are a synergistic environment that stimulates cooperation between company and company and company-research institution to carry out research, development and innovation (P, D & I) projects.

The São José dos Campos Technological Park (PqTec) is aligned with the already proven vocation of the municipality in being an advanced pole of technological development and innovation. The deepest roots of PqTec are in the Aeronautical Technical Center, created in 1946. From the CTA came the Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA) in 1950; the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA) in 1967; and Embraer in 1969.
