Before you even talk about sport, it comes to technology . And here, the first challenge is to find professionals. Challenge and opportunity.

At least 360 technicians in development and network operation will be formed here in Screening neighborhood Knowledge Nave, on the outskirts of Rio. All these professionals will come out of the nearby communities.

If technology will contribute to education – one of the pillars for growth of any country – Sport will also benefit from new developments; the first comes from this operating room, within the Brazilian Olympic Committee.

Images are transmitted to servers in the cloud, making it possible for experts – be they coaches or doctors – who are anywhere in the world – analyze the movements and techniques of athletes.
