Brazil makes progress in AI and green technology this week.

Innovation and sustainability mark technology week in Brazil.

Brazil has consolidated its position as a leader in technological innovation in recent days, with highlights including advances in artificial intelligence, the launch of a national satellite, and events that bring together hundreds of startups and industry experts.

AI and supercomputers: digital sovereignty in focus

The country will receive one of the five most powerful artificial intelligence supercomputers in the world, as announced by the federal government[3]. The initiative is part of the Brazilian Artificial Intelligence Plan, which foresees investments of up to R$ 23 billion by 2028, reinforcing data security and Brazilian digital sovereignty.

Experts point out that 2025 will be marked by the evolution of AI models embedded in smartphones and the emergence of more autonomous artificial intelligence agents[2]. Arthur Igreja, a technology expert, highlights that realistic videos produced by AI will arrive at much lower costs, accelerating digital transformation.

National satellite 100% and green technology

The Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) is developing the first satellite with entirely national technology, with a launch scheduled for the end of November[1]. The equipment will be dedicated to climate monitoring, combining innovation with environmental sustainability.

Green technology projects are also gaining momentum. Embrapii presented initiatives at COP30 with an investment of approximately R$ 153 million in sustainable technologies for various industrial sectors[5].

Events bring together the innovation ecosystem.

The first edition of Digital Week in Santos (November 13 and 14) brought together more than 100 speakers, including the CEO of WhatsApp, with free admission[1]. Simultaneously, Brazil was present at Web Summit Lisbon 2025 with a delegation of more than 370 startups and companies, consolidating the visibility of the Brazilian ecosystem on the global stage[6].

The National Industry Innovation Journey, promoted by CNI and Sebrae, travels the country driving the green and digital transition[1]. Serpro, a public company, fully sponsored 25 startups at the Web Summit, reinforcing its role as an inducer of innovation[1].

5G consolidated, 6G on the horizon

Anatel has confirmed that the high-speed 5G network is available throughout Brazil[2]. Experts are already pointing to the next generation: 6G, which is expected to be 50 times faster than 5G and is already in the testing phase[2].
