The first South American chip plant, called Centro Nacional em Tecnologia Eletronica Avançada (Ceitec), was inaugurated on last February 5, 2010 in Porto Alegre City, Brazil. Created in 2008, Ceitec received investments of R$400 million from the Brazilian Science and Technology Ministry.
Located in a complex of 14600 squared meters, the company targets to develop semiconductors in Brazil, generating conditions to consolidate the advanced microelectronic industry. That segment corresponds only to 1.7% of Brazilian GDP.
Although it is a little bit late to begin, nothing is impossible when work and dedication are in the scene.
