Brazil campus hybrid event: Pensar o Futuro

Published on 20 October 2021

SKEMA Brazil launches new series of events in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce France-Brazil.

​The main goal of Pensar o Futuro (Think the Future) is to discuss the future of business, the market and work opportunities after the coronavirus pandemic. With this in mind, specialists from major Brazilian and French companies are invited to address topics such as technology, innovation, global market and entrepreneurship. 

At the first edition, in September, SKEMA Brazil welcomed the vice-governor of Minas Gerais, Paulo Brant. He opened the panel talking about the state's commitment to innovation and development. Then, Kleber Meira, CEO of BH Airport, presented the development project of the Tancredo Neves International Airport, in Confins-BH, and discussed the investments and improvements that will be made. Bernardo Farkasvölgyi, director of Farkasvölgyi Architecture, also presented the project for the construction of the Convention and Events Center in Confins.

Ana Flávia Figueirôa, business unit manager at Omexom (Vinci Energies Group) and Paulo Eustáquio Torres, consulting director at Systra Engineering and Consulting, were the guest speakers at the second edition, in October, 2021. 

The second edition was about smart cities. Ana Flávia Figueirôa discussed the transition of the energy matrix for a more sustainable one, explaining that the first step towards a smart city is a good street lighting project. Paulo Eustáquio Torres brought insights on smart mobility. He believes "that to increase use of public transport, it is necessary to encourage inter-modality and multi-modality, simplifying the integration between public transport and various micro-mobility solutions.”

Pensar o Futuro is a hybrid event, with some guests on the SKEMA Brazil campus and a live broadcast on SKEMA Brazil’s YouTube channel. 

Professionals from major companies like Vallourec, ACMinas, SNEF, Vinci Energies and from the government attended both events.
