Cloudscape Brazil 2015 -The Cloud at your Service: How business and research are innovating in the cloud

Cloudscape Brazil 2015, 1 December in Rio de Janeiro - The Cloud at your Service: How business and research are innovating in the cloud
 
As part of the EU-Brazil Cloud Connect projec, Trust-IT is leading the Cloudscape Brazil 2015 conference, taking place on 1 December in Ri. The two-day event gives public entitites and companies essential and unique insights into what cloud services means for their organisation today. 
 
The event showcases an impressive array of cloud user stories, from cutting-edge research in the life sciences to newcomers competing with established players. A strong focus is on how cloud federated infrastructures are enabling researchers to tackle major societal challenges, from neglected diseases and cardio-vascular diseases affecting mostly poor groups to understanding the role of biodiversity ecosystems in buffering climate change. The resulting services simply would not be possible without international co-operation. 
 
The number of start-ups in both Brazil and Europe is rising rapidly, bringing innovation and growth prospects. The cloud plays a big role here as it lowers the entry barrier to almost every sector. Cloudscape Brazil 2015 offers a forum for start-ups and looks at how new opportunities can help take outstanding research results to market. 
 
Cloudscape Brazil also zooms in on European and Brazilian co-operation priorities, cloud computing and big data strategies with insights from policy makers in both regions.
