"With a global R&D staff of over 20,000 engineers and researchers, and featuring amongst Fortune Magazine's '15 companies changing the world', the importance BYD gives to technological research is very clear. Our company is a true leader in the technology sector, and such leadership greatly relies on investing in local research and development." says Stella Li, BYD's global vice president. 

The agreement aims to establish cooperation between BYD and Unicamp in scientific research and technological development activities.

The company chose Campinas as its base in Brazil, and we are convinced that Unicamp will be an important partner in research and development in the field of photovoltaic, which will certainly lead to the establishment of other collaborations in the future, always in search of a sustainable future."
