Boeing has announced the opening of its Engineering and Technology Center in São José dos Campos, Brazil. This center is one of Boeing’s 15 engineering sites worldwide that focus on developing advanced technology for aerospace innovation. The expansion of Boeing’s operations in Brazil demonstrates the company’s commitment to engineering excellence and collaboration with the Brazilian aerospace industry.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the state of São Paulo, Boeing aims to promote aerospace technological development in Brazil. The MOU includes support for STEM education, an agenda of industrialization and innovation, and efforts to enhance the talent pipeline in Brazil’s aerospace ecosystem. The partnership with São Paulo aims to generate more jobs and income for the state.
As part of its sustainability efforts, Boeing is funding a project with the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) to develop the third phase of the SAFMaps database. This project aims to accelerate the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in Brazil by identifying the most promising inputs in specific areas of the country. SAFMaps integrates essential information about potential raw materials and aligns with international regulations for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in aviation.
Boeing also launched its first internship program in Brazil for students in their final year of engineering studies. Through this program, interns will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in global and multicultural projects and receive mentoring from experienced professionals. This initiative aligns with Boeing’s global strategy to contribute to engineering excellence in the countries where it operates.
Boeing has been actively collaborating to strengthen Brazil’s aerospace ecosystem, including securing invention disclosures and patent applications, investing in STEM education partnerships, and working on sustainability projects. The company recognizes Brazil as a strategic partner in addressing the challenges of the global aerospace industry.
By expanding its collaboration in Brazil, Boeing not only strengthens its presence in the country but also positions Brazil to play a larger role in meeting the global demand for commercial airplanes in the next 20 years.
