After two days of debates, the 5th State Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation of Amazonas (CT&I) formulated public policy proposals that will be presented at the regional conference, in April, and national, in June this year. The event was promoted by the Government of Amazonas, through the State Secretariat for Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation (Sedecti), and ended with a plenary session this Wednesday (27/03), with discussions aimed at promoting the scientific development in the Amazonian scenario.

According to the executive secretary of Science, Technology and Innovation, Jeibi Medeiros, the proposals were produced from debates held in groups on thematic axes and seek to meet the demands and desires of the area. The plenary aimed to raise what was debated on the first day and promote productive discussions with the participation of the community.

“This is our mission: to build a more sustainable Amazon, in search of the development and inclusion of all our potential. The axes were the key tool for building the preliminary diagnosis and the strategic map to guide future investments. Let’s go together now for the new challenge that is our regional conference”, declared Jeibi.
