From the first pitch to the research center: 15 years between Claro and the university driving impact on society
Social impact in technology is usually measured by the product that reaches the end user. There is another, earlier and less discussed one: what happens to those who create this technology. In 15 editions, Campus Mobile transformed ideas from students across Brazil into prototypes, awards and careers — and, for many, into their first international trip, presenting their own project in Silicon Valley. Now, a new research center with USP and Fapesp expands the bet: scholarships, researcher training and qualified employment while producing frontier science in AI and connectivity. Empowering those who invent is the first condition for technology to generate impact on anyone.
