Speaking to the press, the national director for Technological Development and Information of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Jone Heitor, announced that in the country, in some universities, small digital laboratories are already functioning, where students are testing their knowledge .
He pointed out that the Government is creating policies to support Startechs and Incubators, existing in the country, in order to create many more initiatives in a period of five years.
For the PCE of Banco Millenium Atlântico, Daniel Santos, the bet in the digital laboratory has to do with being a technological vehicle that is currently widely used in the industry worldwide and particularly in banking.
He said that in his institution there are digital services available that have allowed to attract many customers.
