Technology and innovation development in Rio de Janeiro

In Angra dos Reis, a partnership between the City Hall and Senac RJ provided free professional training to 180 people through a mobile technology school. The program focused on sectors such as artificial intelligence, game creation, and drone photography to prepare the local workforce for digital transformation.

Following these training efforts, the region expanded its innovation infrastructure. The Secretariat of Planning and Management in Angra dos Reis launched a new public notice for its Sea Technology Park startup incubation program. This updated call is open to various technological fields, including logistics, energy, and sustainability, though projects related to the blue economy receive additional scoring points.

Simultaneously, the municipality of Saquarema initiated a public call to occupy its new 2,000 square meter Technology Park. This facility aims to attract over 15 companies through coworking spaces and startup incubation, with an expected investment of R$ 12.8 million and the creation of more than 200 direct jobs.
