Pre-History1966 Foundation of UNICAMP (State University of Campinas)

1972 Three former researchers from Bell Laboratories, Sérgio Porto, José Ripper, and Rogério Cerqueira Leite, arrive at Unicamp with a visionary plan

1973 A Program on Optical Communications Development is proposed to Telebrás (the holding of the telecommunications monopoly in Brazil). It comprised 3 projects for the development and fabrication of:

1. Optical Fibers

2. Semiconductor Diode Lasers

3. Integrated Optical Devices

1974 The Optical Communications Program is signed (started by 1975).

This was the first University-Industry R&D contract in Brazil

The model

Simple and linear, but

Key detail: Transfer of brains – technology is transferred together with the researchers (that are hired by the receptor of the knowledge)

University provides well trained people and disruptive ideas

R&D Center provides usable technology, manuals, standards

Industry research makes optimization, miniaturization…

Photonics & Optical Communications in Campinas

Prof. Hugo Fragnito; 4/13/2015 [15]

Wired Magazine (July, 2000)

Network switches and cell sites are replacing coffee and sugarcane as

this region's cash crops, making Campinas a leader in Brazil's

communications revolution. With the demand for wireless set to

outstrip terrestrial lines, and data networks in need of upgrade, major

players can't drop down factories fast enough. Nortel, Motorola, and

Lucent are here, as well as R&D labs like CPqD - a spinoff of Telebrás,

the now-privatized national telephone carrier. This city also boasts

Unicamp, Brazil's answer to MIT, which houses the nation's number-one

computer science program and churns out future digerati who needn't

look far for work. A tech-savvy city agency, Ciatec, oversees

development and manages an incubator for startups.
