The last two years will be marked in the history of Brazil by the amount and intensity of challenges that were imposed on us. But also for the expectations and trajectories of overcoming and success that were opened to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If on the one hand we have the pandemic and the water crisis, on the other we have the New Gas Market and regulatory advances in infrastructure, especially in sanitation and transport. The new opportunities opened up in these sectors, added to the values forecast in sectors with a consistent history of growth, such as oil, indicate that in the next 10 years Brazil will receive more than R$ 10 trillion in investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant part of these investments will be directed to Brazilian industrial engineering and heavy construction (E&C) companies. Despite having also faced major challenges, they preserved the resources that, deservedly, gave them the reputation of competence, the ability to innovate and, therefore, competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These skills enable a transformation that, as it is essential to increase the sector's productivity and ensure its sustainable growth, is imperative and urgent. it is about the digital transformation<\/a>, or the incorporation of industry 4.0 technologies in the E&C activity. The manufacturing activity advanced more quickly in this process. The services sector in general and, in particular, E&C services, are advancing more slowly. However, other countries and their E&C companies are already making progress on this trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is on the pillars described above that the entities ABEMI, Deloitte, Instituto de Engenharia and SINICON created the Brazilian Program of Engineering and Construction 4.0, ProEC4.0<\/a>. The representativeness and affinity of these entities with E&C companies give them conditions to contribute decisively in paving the path of the sector's digital transformation, using 4.0 technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProEC4.0 Initiatives <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ProEC4.0 consists of three initiatives that, combined and articulated with each other, will contribute to raising and maintaining the standard of productivity and competitiveness of companies from E&C companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first one deals with demarcating and obtaining economic and technological indicators on the sector. Despite being present and active in the country for centuries, specific and exclusive data on E&C companies are scarce and imprecise. This information, once available and reliable, needs to be updated regularly. They are absolutely essential to increase the quality of dialogue with other economic actors and, thus, improve the formulation and implementation of public policies favorable to the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second initiative is the prioritization of public policies that encourage the digital transformation of Brazilian E&C companies. Although controversial, evidence suggests that the role of the state as an inducer of economic growth is essential. It is also evident that protectionist instruments are ineffective. Recent studies suggest that effective policies should focus on technological complexity (eg, digital transformation), on exports, and require tradeoffs for company performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third initiative is the Sorocaba Engineering and Construction Nucleus, the NECSOR. To be implemented within the Sorocaba Technological Park (PTS), about 95 km from S\u00e3o Paulo, NECSOR will concentrate three major activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
