An important event currently unfolding in the city of Belo Horizonte will be the scene of a key demonstration of Australian innovation come this time next year.
Called Inovatec, the exhibition and trade show “encourages dialogue about innovation aimed at disseminating a culture that accelerates the process of developing new technological solutions and management for the benefit of society”, according to organiser Minasplan, which has established the event with significant support from the Minas Gerais state government and a range of sponsors.
Currently in its sixth edition, the seventh in 2011 will feature Australia as ‘anchor country’ and plans are already underway to ensure a big turnout and high quality display of Australian expertise in this area.
A number of Australians are currently in Belo Horizonte for the ongoing 2010 Inovatec, including representatives from the CSIRO and solar technology business Siroc, with Austrade’s Brazil representatives facilitating the involvement. The US is the 2010 anchor country.
Please get in touch with Austrade through the contacts on this site for more details on how to get involved in 2011.
