Training

The scarceness of qualified professionals in the areas of Technological Development, Engineering Photonics, Optoelectronic, Fiber Optics and Optical Communications has been one of the major bottleneck for the national evolution of the optical communications. This bottleneck is even more restrictive when it takes into account that education focuses on theoretical knowledge, leaving on the second plan the practical application of them.

Technological Entrepreneurship

  • Licensing of technologies to enterprises.

  • Constitution of corporate spin-offs, that is high-tech companies generated from the technological innovations developed by the Institute.

  • Promotion of technologies, products and services developed in iTech along capital investors, investment banks, strategic partners and production sector in Brazil and abroad.

  • Conduction of action to increase the competitiveness of Brazilian photonics products and services abroad.

  • Encouragement to the formation of export consortium of photonics technology products and services.

The New Technological Paradigm

At the end of the XVII century, Mechanics was the Innovation. Two hundred years later, the Electronics was the Innovation. And in 1960, the Photonics is presented to the world as a new paradigm, complementing and subverting the previous models, making it the essential Innovation for sustainable development of the centuries to follow.​

In this context, the iTech, Photonics Innovation Institute, acts. It brings to the real world, with practical actions, the true meaning of the word Innovation.​

Based on the Development of Technological Innovations in Professional Training, and Certification and Calibration of Products and Equipment, the iTech innovates as it offers to the market a combination of feasible ways that contributes to the country's economic growth.
