The Department of Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation of the State of São Paulo (SDECTI) has transferred Investe São Paulo's headquarters to the technological park deployed near the campus of Universidade de São Paulo (USP), in the district of Jaguaré, São Paulo. The agency staff is working there since March 30.

The transfer is part of the several rearrangements being implemented within the State Government "Starting this year, Investe São Paulo will start to grow and accept new assignments. In addition to providing investor support, we will start playing a more active role in the economic development of the state by encouraging innovation, research and exports", said the Agency's president, Juan Quirós.

The building has six thousand square meters and is managed by SDECTI's Undersecretariat of Science and Technology. The structure was built to accommodate innovative activities, integrating companies and academic institutions related to health, drugs and equipment for people with special needs.
