Event held by Atech, a company of the Embraer Group, takes place from November 21st to 23rd, online and free of charge
It is common for our thoughts to turn to the future when we talk about emerging technologies. However, despite the application still restricted to some sectors, these technologies are already generating major transformations in people’s lives and business models.
These impacts are the focus of the 8th Atech Forum: “The Future is Here – And Now? Connecting People, Technology, and Innovation”, which will take place from November 21st to 23rd, 100% online and free of charge. Registration can be made on the event’s platform: https://forumatech.com.br.
Organized by Atech, an Embraer Group company, the forum will debate how new technologies are being used for development and social well-being, what is their power of connection and transformation, and how we can share them in order to build a more sustainable, agile, efficient and simple world for everyone.
The goal is to stimulate the sharing of knowledge among people involved, directly or indirectly, with the development or application of new technologies.the event usually attracts companies, government institutions and the Armed Forces, research centers and universities from all regions of the country. During the presentations, the participants present ideas and ask questions to the panelists.
In this eighth edition there will be four panels, with the participation of 15 panelists, besides an invited speaker. The three-day event will totalize about ten hours of debate and exchange of experiences.
According to Atech’s President, Edson Mallaco, the annual forum is a result of the company’s culture.
“For all of us at Atech, thinking about technology is always associated with thinking about how it will impact people and our environment. This behavior is part of Atech’s culture and reflects its commitment to developing solutions that can contribute to improving our country and the world,” explains Mallaco.
He also points out that sharing knowledge, inside and outside the company, is also intrinsic to Atech’s culture.
“By sharing our experiences we contribute to the construction of an innovation ecosystem, which today is fundamental for the technological, economic, and social development of any country,” he said.
