We are more than 250 people committed to generating a positive impact through technology.

We hold the necessary accreditations to execute R&D and innovation projects throughout Brazil.

We execute R&D and innovation projects for companies that benefit from the Lei de Informática in the CATI region, enhancing the competitiveness of the ICT industry and contributing to Brazil’s technological development.

We execute R&D and innovation projects using resources from the Lei de Informática in the Manaus Free Trade Zone, fostering the diversification of the economic matrix in the Western Amazon.

We are helping transform Brazil’s technology market.
