CISB

Together we can face more challenges and deliver better solutions.


CISB, Swedish-Brazilian Research and Innovation Centre is a private non-profit association that acts an international hub to promote dialogue and offer a prosperous collaboration environment between Sweden and Brazil.

Objective
The centre’s main objective is to identify and support project development initiatives that involve advanced technology that can deliver solution to different industry sectors, causing positive impact in society.

The centre wishes to create fertile ground to promote intense collaboration, leveraging and integrating what is best from all parts involved, which represent international companies, small and medium businesses, government, research institutes, and universities mainly in Sweden and Brazil.

For this end, it:

- Creates a neutral environment that stimulates collaboration
- Attracts ideas and projects that can be of interest to CISB’s members
- Connects actors from the industry, academy and government both in Sweden and in Brazil
- Integrates different areas of knowledge through the organizing of conferences, workshops and other events
- Gives life to both multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity in projects
- Provides support to the members in terms of intellectual property (IP) and finding funds for joint projects
- Manages research projects that involve several institutions
- Spreads knowledge
- Promotes exchange programs for innovation training to capacitate professionals in Brazil and Sweden.
Mission
Deliver solutions to complex global and social problems that can only be solved by multi-institutional networks with players from industry, academy (education and research) and government in open innovation arenas.
Industry, academy and government. More than a model, a way of thinking
The concept behind CISB’s work is inspired in the Swedish Science Parks and aims at creating unique collaboration opportunities between industries (from different industry sectors), academy (education and research) and government.

We believe that in order to create innovation that promotes sustainable growth, we need to join forces and make use of collaboration.

Our work model is based on the following pillars:

- Innovation oriented by challenges
In our opinion, demand is what generates good results. For this reason, we use current world’s challenges as fuel and guidance to create innovation that can deliver new technologies and solutions for these issues, transforming real needs into products.

- Triple helix
Together we can do so 
much more. So CISB aims to articulate collaboration and efforts between people from the industry, government 
and academy (education and research). Working side by side to contemplate and give answers to the demands of these three sources, scientists, executives, authorities, politicians, researchers, and market have an immense power to accomplish things. And CISB creates the synergic bridge between them.

- Open innovation
We offer an open collaborative environment to stimulate thinking and the search for answers. In the past, products and solutions were developed in closed centres whereas we go towards a different direction, uniting specialists, gathering knowledge and resources to solve complex problems typical of our times.

This singular way of working is practiced in our focus areas:
- Aeronautics
- Defence and Security
- Sustainable Energy
- Transport and Logistics
- Urban Development
FOCUS AREAS
  • Aeronautics
  • Defence and Security
  • Sustainable Energy
  • Transport and Logistics
  • Urban Development

Aeronautics is a strategic technological area both in Brazil and in Sweden. Brazil is one of the four most important manufacturers of civilian aircraft in the world and Sweden, despite its small size, is very successful in manufacturing military aircraft, as well as a supplier of parts to the civilian market. Since it employs a series of advanced technology, which produces on going spill-over that go beyond its borders, reaching the Automobile industry, the Communication industry, etc., this area represents an important innovation element.

Besides that, the industrial collaboration between the two countries is fundamental also in the field of academic research applied to market needs. So much so that there is the project of developing the next generation of aircraft.

By promoting bilateral relations in the field of aeronautics, we create a unique collaboration opportunity in the long term.

Defence and Security are core themes in any governmental agenda, inasmuch as they guarantee the piece of mind and freedom of society. So the two areas have driven the field of strategic studies, involving different areas such as politics, military, economic, psychosocial, science and technology, environment, etc., gathering the collaboration in several sectors to implement efficient solutions.

Given its importance, the area receives large investments and is responsible for delivering several improvements to society, because the technologies initially developed for military use are later converted and used in the civilian market. A few of these examples are the microwave oven, the pen drive and even the internet.

One of the most important challenges of the 21st century is how to build a sustainable future in terms of energy, a fact that was recognized by the Kyoto Protocol in 1997.

It is common knowledge that if the current resource and energetic consumption patterns do not change, we will compromise humanity’s well being in the medium and long term. In order to change this alarming reality, sustainable energy offers the possibility of complying with the demands of human development in its social, economic and environmental dimensions, being generated and provided in a way that does not harm the need of future generations.

Every human being needs to move in space for the most varied needs: work, leisure, education, health, shopping, etc. And the ways in which this transport happens depends of things such as age, income, education, amongst others.

According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals “Logistics is the part of the Supply Chain Management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient and economic flow and storage of raw products, semi-finished and ready products, as well as the information related to them, from the point of origin to point of consumption, aiming at complying with clients’ demands”.

Humanity’s progress has made us increasingly more urban and the exodus of rural areas turned the 21st century into the “century of cities”.

As cities and the number of their inhabitants began to grow, so did the problems related to cost management and maintenance of services and infrastructure.

However, these challenges can be seen as unique opportunities for what we call “smart cities”.

There is a demand for smart cities to be pleasant, creative and inclusive places, where collaborati on thrives, resulting in collective intelligence with the participation of society as a whole.

If we want our cities to become smarter, we need to broadly apply technology by means of innovation and new action models.

One of the main advantages of smart cities and its policies is economic growth, employment generation and innovation it generates. It is important to have cost reduction as a goal, as well as the intelligent use of technology in the energy, environment and transport sectors.

Smart cities projects are a challenge to the borders between cities and government areas. They necessarily imply a transversal management policy, ignoring the current defined borders between different areas and departments.

ARENAS

We are an innovation platform that connects open arenas.


A great challenge of our times is to translate and transform human needs and social problems in inspiration for the creation of solutions. An efficient manner to do that is using the concept of Open Innovation Arenas in which meetings are organized to discuss challenges and their technology solutions, idea generation, creation of research projects and formation of focus groups.

These meetings produce forums with the participation of potential users, companies, entrepreneurs, universities, research institutions, and society and government representatives that contribute to the articulation of needs and problems, communicating preferences and potential demands of the participants.

Open Innovation Arenas are normally hosted by a neutral organization. It is the role of the latter to launch challenges, define actors, intermediate meetings, coordinate workshops and virtual meetings, promote match making, map incentives, as well as guide the development of potential collaboration projects and or contribute to the creation of a national proposal.

CISB promotes and manages Open Innovation Arenas between Brazil and Sweden that allow an environment capable of creating new opportunities to its Members and Partners.

Currently, CISB manages 3 Open Innovation Arenas in the following sectors: aeronautics, transport and logistics, and urban development. Find out more about each of the following arenas:



Aeronautics arena
Articulation of the main actors in Brazil and Sweden to establish P&D&I partnerships.
Urban Development arena
