Pre-­‐History  1966   Founda[on  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  Op[cal  Communica[ons  Development  is  proposed  to  Telebras  (the  holding  of  the  telecommunica[ons  monopoly  in  Brazil).  It  comprised  3  projects  for  the  development  and  fabrica[on  of:  1.  Op[cal  Fibers  2.  Semiconductor  Diode  Lasers  3.  Integrated  Op[cal  Devices      

1974   The  Op[cal  Communica[ons  Program  is  signed  (started  by  1975).  This  was  the  first  University-­‐Industry  R&D  contract  in  Brazil

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  communica[ons  revolu[on.  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-­‐priva[zed  na[onal  telephone  carrier.  This  city  also  boasts  Unicamp,  Brazil's  answer  to  MIT,  which  houses  the  na[on's  number-­‐one  computer  science  program  and  churns  out  future  digera[  who  needn't  look  far  for  work.  A  tech-­‐savvy  city  agency,  Ciatec,  oversees  development  and  manages  an  incubator  for  startups.
