Embraer has announced a $10 million collaborative investment in a Brazilian Engineering Research Center (ERC) with two of its partners, the Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA) and the Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
Over the next five years, the centre will investigate the future of air mobility. Embraer announced the partnership on May 26, 2022, and it was approved on May 26, 2022.
It will focus on “innovative technological solutions that will maximise competitiveness in the global innovation ecosystem.”

“Through partnership models and intellectual property management, the ERC guides and enables the conditions for technology transfer among industrial actors, stakeholders, and the third sector, and strengthens connections and innovations,” according to the statement.
"These collaborations also result in the incubation of new businesses and the development of entrepreneurial activities in which the research findings are used," the report stated. The study will focus on three primary areas, according to Embraer: low-carbon aviation, autonomous systems, and innovative manufacturing.
The ERC, according to Lus Carlos Affonso, Embraer’s senior vice president of engineering, technology, and strategy, will become “a benchmark of enterprise-government-academic cooperation toward zero-carbon aviation” in the future, “creating value to society as a whole.”
