Ibrachina/Ibrawork CPDI

Building: Soma
The Ibrachina/Ibrawork Research, Development and Innovation Center (CPDI) operates on the premises of the Unicamp Scientific and Technological Park, located in the “Zeferino Vaz” University City.

The objective of CPDI is to carry out joint actions with national and international institutions, in development, research and innovation projects. CPDI's work is aligned with the search for solutions to meet the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), carrying out research in the areas of health, agriculture, energy, smart cities and artificial intelligence.

Lawyer Dr. Tak Chung Wu is the director of CPDI. Dr. Li Li Min, professor at the Department of Neurology at the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FCM) at Unicamp, is one of the main researchers.

The creation of CPDI is an action by the Brazil-China Sociocultural Institute (Ibrachina), which has partnerships and cooperation agreements with several foreign universities, with emphasis on the Chinese ZIBS (Zhejiang University International Business School). This opens up the possibility of joint CPDI projects with Chinese researchers, academics and companies.
