A relationship that began with the Efeito ACATE 2066 project and support for the association enters a new chapter as DashCity becomes a member.
DashCity is now a member of the Santa Catarina Technology Association (ACATE). This step expands a relationship that began through a partnership on the Efeito ACATE project, when the company also became a supporting partner of the association, and continues a history of collaboration around Santa Catarina’s development.
From Efeito ACATE to supporting the association
The first chapter of this story took shape through a shared view of the future. Efeito ACATE 2066 brings together the history of Santa Catarina’s technology ecosystem and scenarios for the coming decades, with collaboration among companies, institutions and people as one of its foundations. The initiative invites people to explore how these connections contribute to the state’s development and which paths could guide the next 40 years.
DashCity contributes the territorial intelligence methodology presented in the ACATE 2066 Dashboard. This work connects historical data and scenario development to help interpret the ecosystem and its possible evolution. These scenarios support reflection and planning; their realization depends on the decisions and actions taken over time.
Becoming a supporting partner was part of this growing relationship. By collaborating on Efeito ACATE and supporting the association, DashCity became involved in a collective effort closely related to its own work: understanding relationships, interpreting change and producing knowledge to inform decisions.
A new stage of collaboration
Founded in 1986, ACATE works to strengthen innovative entrepreneurship in Santa Catarina, connecting companies of different sizes, promoting business development and supporting talent development. Its programs and innovation spaces create opportunities for entrepreneurs to exchange experiences and connect with other participants in the sector.
It is within this environment that DashCity is expanding its presence as a Territorial Consciousness Laboratory. Its approach connects data, human listening and intelligence to support decisions by governments, organizations and communities. From this perspective, a territory can also be a network of relationships: people and institutions sharing challenges, knowledge and possibilities for the future.
Membership opens a new stage in deepening this exchange. For DashCity, it offers an opportunity to work more closely with other technology companies, share experiences and identify potential collaborations. The knowledge developed through Efeito ACATE now forms part of a broader institutional relationship, with room for new encounters and initiatives.
From a project partnership to a supporting role and now membership, DashCity’s relationship with ACATE has developed through new forms of participation. Its next chapter builds on that shared experience: bringing knowledge together and strengthening connections to contribute to the future of innovation in Santa Catarina.
