Key details
Brazil is deepening its commitment to technological innovation as a driver for climate adaptation and urban sustainability through two major events this November. The COP30 Tech Zone in Belém is running from November 10 to 14 at the Guamá Science and Technology Park (PCT Guamá) and hosts free discussions on smart city technologies, climate financing, and innovative solutions for Amazon water resources and bioeconomy. The venue, the first technological park in Northern Brazil, highlights environmental preservation through technology and expands COP30’s reach to local communities without the need for COP accreditation.
Meanwhile, in São Carlos, recognized as Brazil's National Capital of Technology, the São Carlos Experience 2025 is taking place from November 12 to 16. It expects 10,000 participants and features The Developers Conference debuting in an inland city, alongside thematic tracks covering regenerative agriculture, circular economy, health, and education aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This festival aims to foster connections between science, technology, and social impact within São Carlos's thriving innovation and startup ecosystem.
Together, these events underscore Brazil's dual focus on leveraging technology to tackle climate change challenges while promoting sustainable urban growth and economic opportunities. The collaborative involvement of universities, government bodies, civil society, and startups strengthens Brazil’s role in leading smart city and environmental technology initiatives at both regional and national levels.
