Our expectations of the results of the Energy Summit are enormous, as it creates an environment for members of government, academia, large companies, startups and investors to create connections, collaborate and generate business. What we hope is that wealth will be distributed from here.
The support of the Rio state government and also Petrobras was fundamental in making this all happen. And, of course, MIT, as the central figure in the distribution and production of the knowledge that circulates here, as the coat of arms, the heraldry of MIT says: “mens et manus”, the minds and hands that really make things happen.
