Following the success and strong impressions left by visits to ports and companies in the Netherlands in 2022, Israel in 2023, and South Korea last year, the Missão Internacional Porto & Mar, promoted by Grupo Tribuna, arrives in the United States this weekend with high expectations.

With a strategic itinerary rich in innovation, the delegation brings together Brazilian authorities, business leaders, and specialists from the port and technology sectors for an intense agenda in Seattle and San Francisco.

The program will begin on Tuesday, extend through Friday, and showcase the latest in port logistics, technology, sustainability, and artificial intelligence through technical visits to some of the world’s leading organizations in these fields.

“Our expectation is to learn about the technological innovations that the United States, the most developed country in the world, creates and adopts. This way, we can bring them to the Baixada Santista, in support of the Port-City connection”, emphasized TV Tribuna’s CEO, Roberto Clemente Santini.

“Silicon Valley is the ultimate icon of technology, and Grupo Tribuna is focused on this subject. In recent years, we’ve visited the Netherlands, Israel, and South Korea. What they all have in common is that they are tech hubs. Now, we’ll be where it all begins”, noted A Tribuna’s CEO, Marcos Clemente Santini.

The journey begins in Seattle, on the U.S. West Coast, known for excellence in port management and technological innovation. On Tuesday, the delegation will visit Fishermen’s Terminal, Seattle’s renowned fishing terminal, and explore the entire structure of the local port, which ranks among the ten largest in the U.S.

On the second day, still in Seattle, the delegation will experience a technological immersion at the global headquarters of Microsoft Corporation, a worldwide innovation leader, on Wednesday morning. In the afternoon, the agenda continues at the Port of Everett, a benchmark for handling oversized cargo and sustainability, as well as a specialist in bulk shipments and known for supporting aerospace sector operations.

On the final two days, the delegation will be in the San Francisco Bay Area, globally recognized as the heart of Silicon Valley. On Thursday, the group will visit the prominent Port of Oakland, which has impressed with its steady cargo volume growth and environmental advancements. Also in California, on the same day, scheduled visits include Skyfront, a leader in drones for advanced logistical operations, and the headquarters of Autodesk Corporation, globally recognized for its design and engineering software.

The day will also include a visit to Stanford University, considered the cradle of success for companies operating in Silicon Valley and one of the world’s most prestigious educational institutions.

“Participants can expect a very rich agenda with technical content. We will certainly gain access to knowledge, best practices, innovation, sustainability, and technology on this trip to the United States”, emphasized Grupo Tribuna’s Commercial Director, Demetrio Amono.

“Beyond all the work carried out, what drives us is the engagement of all businesspeople and authorities in acquiring knowledge through a mission that delivers highly technical content,” said Maxwell Rodrigues, Port Affairs Consultant at Grupo Tribuna (Disclosure)
