– We want to show the size of our technology ecosystem and present the country’s strength in this area. Many countries see Brazil as a risky investment, but by showing our reality, with 1700 companies associated with Acate representing 70% of the State’s technology revenue, we hope they realize Santa Catarina’s potential – highlights Henrique Bilbao.
