where are we?
Campinas, SP (Brazil)
With over one million habitants, Campinas is a suburban city located 100 km away from the city of São Paulo in the southeast of Brazil. The city is known for its culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in technology, and it is frequently compared to the Brazilian Silicon Valley.
University of Campinas (UNICAMP)
UNICAMP is one of the two top research Universities in Brazil and one of the top Universities in Latin America. Founded in 1966 as a tech pole, today it leads the country in number of patents among all Universities and published papers per faculty member; it is responsible for ~8% of all of Brazil's articles in scientific journals.
A technological environment
The leadership and culture at UNICAMP inspired the creation of hundreds startups and technological centers around the main University campus which accelerate the country efforts to novel developments in material science, photonics, communications and several other fields, including healthcare.
