The idea behind all these moves is to use Ceitec to develop specific use cases and skilled labor for Brazil, focusing on key areas such as energy transition. Assessing market demand for some of Ceitec’s 45 patents is essential to better direct efforts to restart operations. “To restart Ceitec’s production after a three-year hiatus, it will be necessary to update its machinery, which would cost USD 20 to 30 million over the next two years, with funds already approved by the Science and Technology Ministry in 2023, as well as to rebuild the company’s workforce,” Henrique de Oliveira Miguel, the ministry’s secretary of digital transformation. #electromobility #evs #futureisnow

EPOWERS Research Group Presents Groundbreaking Results at WOCSDICE-EXMATEC 2024 🚀 We are thrilled to announce that our EPOWERS colleagues, Sajib Chakraborty and Sachin Kumar Bhoi, presented groundbreaking results from the HiEFFICIENT project at the 47th Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits and the 18th Expert Evaluation and Control of Compound Semiconductor Materials and Technologies (WOCSDICE - EXMATEC 2024). This innovative work has gained significant attention from industry experts because VUB-EPOWERS frameworks not only integrate Charging-profile-oriented Reliability Assessment into the design phase of both off-board and on-board chargers but they also reduce unexpected failures and expensive recalls during real operations. #Chargers #DesignforReliability #HiEFFICIENT #WOCSDICE2024 #EXMATEC2024 #TechExcellence
