Keynote by CEISE Br
Brazilian National Center for Industries in Sugar-Energy & Biofuels Sector
The “Nova Industria Brasil” program was recently launched by the federal government, which aims to promote the digital transformation of up to 90 percent of the Brazilian industrial infrastructure. Some developing countries feel that recent technological innovations mean they might lose market shares and become more dependent economically on developed countries. But for others, these advances present themselves as opportunities to modernize their existing and to create new industries, automated with modern technologies. Open solutions present themselves as a viable option, capable of keeping up with the evolution of digital technologies and providing companies with the flexibility to adapt to increasingly frequent changes in the market. Libanio Carlos de Souza, the Vice President of CEISE Br - The National Center for Industries in the Sugar-Energy and Biofuels Sector of Brazil, will present some of these programs and the results obtained through them on Wednesday morning.
