The initiative seeks to bring together, at a single site, businesses and research and development institutions, thus making the state a technology reference point. This is part of an effort to shift the state\u2019s previous economic emphasis away from agro-exports. The new building, baptized \u2018Technocenter,\u2019 cost R$\u00a053 million and is the home to companies like IBM, Portugal Telecom and Ericsson Innovation, in addition to facilities for the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) and Bahia State University (Uneb). The State University of Campinas (Unicamp) signed an agreement with the Department of Science, Technology and Development to establish a bioinformatics unit there whose equipment is currently being purchased.\u00a0 \u201cOur intention is to create a group that will support initiatives in the area of molecular biology,\u201d says Gon\u00e7alo Amarante Guimar\u00e3es, professor of the Institute of Biology and researcher at the Laboratory of Genomics and Expression (LGE) at Unicamp, who leads the partnership.\u00a0 Guimar\u00e3es is a graduate of UFBA. The technology park will occupy an area of 581,000 m<sup>2<\/sup> and is divided into 83 lots, 22 of which are public and the other 61 private.\u00a0 It is already home to 25 companies, of which nine are incubators and 16 are established businesses. The second phase, which includes construction of laboratory infrastructure, a school for scientific initiation, and a museum is expected to be completed by December 2014, with investments totaling R$ 59 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First phase of the Bahia Technology Park inaugurated ","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[256],"coauthors":[93],"class_list":["post-64034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-public-policies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64034\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64034"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=64034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
