A thriving digital ecosystem for Brazil
According to Hamilton Mendes Silva, Director of the Department of Digital Technologies Incentives at the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, speaking at the panel "Cloud with AI for Brazil's Digital Tomorrow", the Brazilian artificial intelligence plan has several pillars. One focuses on addressing the lack of professional qualification. "We're not just seeking to expand research but looking at the entire training pyramid," he stated.
Huawei Cloud is committed to creating a robust local ecosystem through collaborations with system integrators and independent software vendors. Programs like Leap, ICT Academy, and Seeds for the Future have already benefited over 16,000 people. "Together with the Ministry of Education and Culture, we are investing in underserved areas of technology and training," highlighted Atilio Rulli, Vice President of Public Relations for Latin America and the Caribbean at Huawei.
