WHAT'S BEHIND ZILIA’S US$120MN BRAZIL SEMICONDUCTORS INVESTMENT? Brazil's Zilia Technologies (formerly SMART Modular Technologies) is set to invest 650mn reais (US$120mn) to boost semiconductor production. With potential new incentives and a new controlling investor, Zilia aims to expand its operations significantly. CEO Rogerio Nunes highlighted the support for the new incentive program in Brazil and emphasized Zilia's dual national and global identity. The company was acquired by China’s Longsys, which now holds 81% of shares, while SGH retains 19%. The investment will enhance production capacity and fund R&D initiatives. Zilia’s two factories in São Paulo and Manaus will see expansions and new equipment installations to support integrated circuit encapsulation and testing. This move is part of a broader nearshoring strategy to serve markets in the US and Latin America.

Last week, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in the Bay Area, participating in some fantastic events, including Brazil at Silicon Valley. 💥 Unsurprisingly, AI remains the "talk of the town," and has been for quite some time now. 🎯 I synthesized six initial and preliminary insights into AI, both in general and within the realm of finance. These insights were drawn from my extensive reading, as well as conversations with ML specialists, founders, professors, and VCs. 🔊 I'd love to hear your thoughts on these observations. 🙂 💪 🔝 #AI #innovation #siliconvalley #future #perspectives #technology

I recently had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion at South Summit Brazil 2024 titled "Thriving Together: Open Innovation Unleashed." The conversation was nothing short of provocative, challenging conventional wisdom and shedding light on the crucial gap between theoretical knowledge and practical innovation.   We delved deep into the dynamics between academia and industry, exploring how the theoretical frameworks taught in universities often fail to apply in the real world.   While research shows the average success rate for startup pilots in corporations is only 30%, Innovate-Israel data shows that when corporations use the proper tools and methodology to collaborate, the success rate rises to 70%!   The panelists shared unique insights on how to bridge this gap and harness the power of open innovation to drive meaningful change. We dissected the challenges organizations face when attempting to translate theoretical concepts into actionable strategies, emphasizing the need for collaboration, and had a heated discussion on this matter.   Collaboration is the only way for organizations to remain relevant. Corporations cannot rely only on internal innovation, or they will disappear. Watch the video now to learn how to do it right and innovate in a rapidly changing world.   https://lnkd.in/dTG-aWDs   Sebastian W.

The leadership imperative: Navigating the era of industry 5.0 As leaders, we are constantly faced with new challenges and uncertainties, from navigating the complexities of a global pandemic to addressing the urgent climate crisis unfolding in Southern Brazil. In times of crisis, the true test of leadership lies not only in our ability to adapt and innovate but also in our capacity to lead with empathy, emotional intelligence, and foresight. Today, I had a powerful insight during my run: leaders who lack knowledge of (1) artificial intelligence (AI), (2) who prioritize financial results over people, and (3) who are not equipped with emotional intelligence and (4) creativity to navite in crisis will find themselves obsolete in the next 3-5 years. The era of Industry 5.0 is upon us, and those who fail to embrace the digital revolution and prioritize human-centric leadership will be left behind. Now more than ever, leaders must invest in developing these essential skills if they are to thrive in the fast-paced, ever-changing landscape of the future. This is not just about surviving; it's about building a better world for ourselves and future generations. Do you feel like embarking on a new journey of transformation, if yes, I invite you to join me. Follow my LinkedIn for insights, strategies, and tools to help you navigate the challenges of Industry 5.0 and emerge as a leader of tomorrow.

The article from O Globo on June 14 delivers an important message from the G20 in Brazil. The Oceans 20 (O20) is an engagement group within the G20 focused on ocean sustainability and marine conservation. Its goal is to promote the Blue Economy, which aims at the sustainable use of oceanic resources for economic growth, livelihood improvement, and job creation while maintaining the health of marine ecosystems. Projections from the OECD indicate that by 2030, the oceans could become the 7th largest global economy, generating $3 trillion. The priorities of the O20 include addressing the climate crisis, promoting social equity, conserving the oceans, developing science and technology, and strengthening global governance. The Blue Economy promotes the sustainable and responsible use of marine resources, biodiversity conservation, research and technological development, as well as integrating coastal and indigenous communities into economic activities. In Brazil, the concept is particularly relevant for the Blue Amazon, focusing on the responsible exploitation of resources such as oil and promoting technological innovation for marine conservation. Civil society will present demands to the G20 in July, focusing on the ratification of the High Seas Treaty before the UN Conference in 2025. The ocean conservation goals of the O20 include protecting marine biodiversity, ensuring resource sustainability, combating pollution, promoting research and innovation, and reinforcing governance and international collaboration. The Oceans 20 will play a crucial role in promoting ocean sustainability and marine conservation, aiming for a balance between economic development and the preservation of marine ecosystems. It is essential for the global community to unite in support of these goals, ensuring a healthy and prosperous future for present and future generations. https://lnkd.in/dxH2AmKP https://lnkd.in/dbhGTSJB #blueeconomy #sustainability #G20

At the beginning of July, the Amazon Community Funds Network - Fundo Babaçu, Fundo Podáali, Fundo Dema, Fundo Mizizi Dudu, Fundo “Luzia Dorothy do Espírito Santo”, Fundo Puxirum, Fundo Indigena Timbira, Fundo Indigena do Rio Negro (FOIRN), Indigenous and community-led organizations from Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, gathered in Esperantina, Piaui, Brazil 🇧🇷 to participate in an international learning exchange funded by Tenure Facility. Throughout the 3-day event, participants discussed the relevant connections between social movements and community funds as well as the importance that these funds bring to ensuring grassroots Indigenous, Afro-descendant and local communities’ rights. Participants shared valuable lessons and identified potential collaboration strategies to strengthen community funds in the #Amazon region. Our regional coordinator for Latin America, Karin Ericsson, shares her reflections: ⤵ 🗣 "For Tenure Facillity's regional coordinator for Latin America, Karin Ericsson, the exchange was a great opportunity to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of the funds of each of the organisations present, as well as the dynamics of coordination between these organisations that are part of a network. “We are a partner and funder of the indigenous, quilombola and traditional peoples' movements in Brazil, and there is also a lot of support for territorial community funds. Our aim is to be able to channel the funds in order to offer them to the peoples. This mechanism of territorial community funds is something that interests everyone. Everyone wants to know how this is being created, because there is a concrete proposal here, which meets the demands of the peoples. So we have a responsibility to adjust processes as a donor in order to be a better and better quality partner,” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ekrVdPF5

BRAZIL IS IMPROVING BUT THE ROAD IS STILL LONG Brazil was among the most unequal countries in Latin America in 2022, based on the Gini index, which measures the degree of inequality in the income distribution of a territory. Data gathered by Statista points to a Brazilian coefficient of 52.9, although there are small variations between sources. The least unequal country was the Dominican Republic (38.5), which registered a lower coefficient than Uruguay and Chile, for example, two of the highest HDIs in the region. The Gini coefficient represents the deviation of income distribution among individuals in a given country in relation to a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, while 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality. Often, values ​​are presented from 0 to 1, so Brazil would have an index of 0.529. Although it does not capture the average wealth of individuals in a country or the level of development, like GDP per capita or HDI, it is a very interesting indicator for evaluating distributional issues that constantly afflict developing countries. In 2022, Brazil recorded the lowest result in the Gini coefficient since 2012, but the IBGE announced, also in 2022, that the 1% of the richest Brazilians earned an average monthly income 32.5 times greater than the income of the richest half. poor population of the country. In 2023, the real average monthly household income per capita — that is, the average income of a household divided by the people who live there — of the richest 1% was R$20,664, an increase of 13.2% in relation to the value observed in 2022 (R$ 18,257). The average monthly income of the poorest 40% was, on average, R$527 last year. The value represents an increase of 12.6% compared to the number recorded in 2022 (R$468). This discrepancy is the result of a greater increase in income among the highest paid workers compared to those at the bottom of the market. In this movement, attention is drawn to the increase in income among workers with completed higher education, when considering the level of education, and among employers, when the reference is the position in the occupation. The average income of the richest 1% not only grew over that of the poorest but was also higher than the national average — in Brazil, the average income rose 11.5% between 2022 and 2023, the highest value in the historical series of research. According to IBGE (PNAD 2023), Brazil had 215.6 million inhabitants. Of these, 140 million had some type of income. This represents 64.9% of the population, the highest proportion recorded by the survey started in 2012. While Latin America advances in terms of wealth production, the region still faces significant challenges to the general well-being of the population in various spheres, harming the so-called "human development", which goes beyond economic growth.
