These connections have been in the making for years
Conceived by Moisés Moreira, former commissioner of Anatel and founder of MMoreira Consulting, Amazon On was born out of the need to broaden discussions on sustainable connectivity, infrastructure, and development in the Amazon.
Leading MMoreira Consulting, Moisés has participated in initiatives that contributed to the expansion of connectivity in the Amazon region, including projects to deploy fiber optic cables along the Amazon riverbeds.
MMoreira Consulting’s work bridges technology, development, and the Amazon, promoting discussions and initiatives aimed at more sustainable and innovative solutions for the region.
Amazon On brings together public leaders, companies, experts, universities, and initiatives that are building innovative solutions for the Amazon.
From telecommunications and energy to innovation and public policy, the event fosters strategic conversations about infrastructure, connectivity, and sustainable development in the Amazon region.
