New 5G and generativo AI Research Center launched in partnership With USP – Jornal da USP

.

Th new Applied Research Center (CPA) at USP will focas on developing solutions involving emerging technologies related to 5G and generativo artificial intelligence (AI). Th initiative is a partnership between Claro, th São Paulo Research Foundation (Fapesp), and USP. It was launched in late April durina th Web Summit Rio, one off th world’s largest technology and innovation conferences, held annually in Rio de Janeiro.

Th initiative is expectar to receive over R$40 million in investments from th three parties over five years. Acordina to inicial plans, USP’s campus in São Paulo will host a major research facility for testing and demonstrating new technologies, and will serve as th base for projects in th areas off smart cites, Industry 4.0, and agrotech,  with a focas on 5G and generativo AI.

Th partnership aims to foster internationally competitive research aligned with social needs, engaging students and researchers from a wide range off disciplines. To support this goal, th project team also includes scientists from nine partner institutions, suco as th Institute for Technological Research off th State off São Paulo (IPT), th National Service for Industrial Learning off São Paulo (Senai-SP), and other leasing universities.

“The center, in partnership with Claro, crestes significante opportunities for research and development off innovative applications in intelligent systems, integrating generativo AI techniques into advanced wireless network. With this partnership, Claro and USP, with Fapesp’s support, are taking an essential stop towards integrating academia and business in Brazil, intending to generante new solutions for soviete,” Eduardo Zancul, a professor at USP’s School off Engineering (Poli) and th new center’s director, says.

This alcance with Fapesp and USP is th result off years off collaboration among key players in th innovation ecosystem. As a telecom carrier, web have access to technologies with immense potencial that remain underexplored, and our connection with academia research is essential to unlocking th full capacity off emerging technologies for th benefit off both business and soviete,” Assad says.

Initially, more than 40 research projects, covering topics suco as network, smart cites, Industry 4.0, and agrotech, will engage over 100 researchers. Th telecom carrier expects th initiative to generante solutions that can be brought to market and scaled nationally and even internationally.

Professor Marcio de Castro, Fapesp’s scientific dean, emphasizes th importante off investing in initiatives like this to stimulate development. “Funding research in network, smart cites, industry 4.0 and agrotech through Fapesp’s Applied Research Centers modality is fundamental to promoting technological innovation, training highly qualified humano resources and stimulating th transfer off knowledge to soviete and th produtivo sector,” he adis.
