Brazil advances in AI, satellites, and technological innovation.

Brazil stands out in technology with recent advancements.

Over the past 72 hours, Brazil has demonstrated its leading role in the global technological landscape, with advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), the launch of national satellites, and events that boost innovation in the country.

AI supercomputer among the five most powerful in the world.

The federal government announced that Brazil will have one of the five most powerful artificial intelligence supercomputers globally. Aimed at strengthening data security and digital sovereignty, the project is part of the Brazilian Artificial Intelligence Plan, which foresees investments of up to R$23 billion by 2028, consolidating the country as a leader in cutting-edge technology.

Launch of the first national 100% satellite.

By the end of November, the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) will launch the first Brazilian satellite with national 100% technology, intended for climate monitoring. This initiative reinforces Brazil's commitment to innovation and sustainable development, expanding the country's environmental monitoring capacity.

Events and promotion of innovation

Santos hosted the first edition of Digital Week, a free event that brought together more than 100 speakers, including the CEO of WhatsApp, to discuss trends in technology, AI, and digitalization. Simultaneously, Embrapii opened a public call for proposals to train research groups in the Northern Region, focusing on green technologies and industrial innovation, with a planned investment of R$153 million.

Technological trends for 2025

Experts highlight that artificial intelligence will continue to be integrated into daily life, with mini-models embedded in smartphones and advancements in realistic AI-generated videos at reduced costs. Furthermore, 6G is already being tested, promising to be 50 times faster than 5G, which is already established in Brazil.
