In addition to bringing knowledge in the development of fibrous and composite materials to the aerospace sector, the Fibrenamics Institute is in Brazil to drive innovation based on these high-performance materials. The link between the Fibrenamics Institute and the Technological Institute of Aeronautics represents a fundamental step towards deepening their relationship in this highly relevant area of engineering.

The partnership between the University of Minho and the Aeronautics Institute of Technology will enable a link with one of Brazil's most prestigious aerospace engineering institutes, known as the development partner of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, such as Embraer.

The Aeronautics Institute of Technology is a public university institution linked to the Brazilian Air Force Command (COMAER), located in the Aerospace Science and Technology Department (DCTA), in the city of São José dos Campos, São Paulo.
