01 — Technical Foundations

Deep Tech Capability Stack

Technical execution delivered through VIRTUS / UFCG — an accredited competence centre of the Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil, with 20+ years of operation, 250+ active researchers, and 500+ completed R&D projects for clients including Samsung, Siemens, Motorola Solutions, HP and Foxconn. VIRTUS is IMOBI's primary R&D partner, with the model open to additional research institutes depending on the project and vertical.

02 — Proprietary Infrastructure

Constitutional AI Infrastructure

Governance-aware AI infrastructure — available via licensing

IMOBI brings to its partnerships a proprietary constitutional AI infrastructure: a governance-aware deployment layer for trustworthy AI in regulated environments. It is made available to consortium partners as licensed background technology, with no external data transfer — client data stays within the perimeter by design.

In the context of the EU AI Act, EHDS and NIS2, this infrastructure helps close the technical compliance gap that prevents many organisations from meeting the requirements of hospital, municipal and government procurement in Europe.

Data Sovereignty by Architecture

Client data stays within the perimeter. GDPR, LGPD and EU AI Act alignment is treated as a property of the deployment, not a layer added afterwards.

Auditable & Compliance-Ready

Outputs are traceable and auditable against the applicable regulatory framework — built for environments where accountability matters.

Multi-jurisdictional by Design

Operates across EU, US and Brazilian regulatory environments, adapting to market-specific requirements.

Edge-deployable & Hardware-agnostic

Designed for low-connectivity environments — operational in field conditions without cloud dependency, critical for infrastructure and remote deployment.

04 — Grant Pipeline

International Project Pipeline

An active pipeline spanning EU, US and Brazilian programmes. Each concept is in active consortium development — IMOBI leads grant capture and partner coordination.

05 — Partnership Value

What the EU Partnership Unlocks

For EU partners, working with IMOBI means immediate access to a multi-jurisdictional structure, an active grant pipeline, and a unique deployment territory — without building the infrastructure from zero.

01

Brazil Without the Bureaucracy

This is what IMOBI US/EU exists for. Running a project in Brazil normally means currency exchange, local contracts, tax compliance, institute KYC and cross-border coordination. IMOBI absorbs all of it: EU partners contract a single US/EU entity, in euro or dollar, under standard agreements — and the entire Brazilian operational overhead is handled invisibly on our side. You get Brazilian R&D capacity and pilot territory without ever touching Brazilian bureaucracy.

02

Full Access to the EU Grant Ecosystem

IMOBI holds active EU Funding Portal eligibility and EU consortium partners in place — access to Horizon Europe (CL3, CL4, Missions), LIFE, CORNET, IraSME, Eurostars, EIC Accelerator and EU-LAC. Brazil's bilateral S&T agreement with the EU enables co-funded Horizon activities via CONFAP-FINEP.

03

A Unique Pilot Territory

Northeast Brazil — 9 states, 57 million people — offers hydrological, climatic and urban conditions not replicable within Europe. Tropical convective rainfall, near-zero permeability soils and urban flash floods create scientific conditions absent from European datasets. UFCG was recognised by Newsweek among global technopoles for technology-driven development.

04

R&D Through a Partner Institute Network

IMOBI contributes to international consortium building — supporting grant strategy and helping bring partners together. R&D execution runs through a network of Brazilian research institutes as primary partner, complemented by additional researchers to be engaged as projects scale.

05

LATAM Market via Established Infrastructure

For EU partners seeking Latin America's largest market, IMOBI provides an operational structure in Brazil since 2017. As a member of ENRICH in LAC, IMOBI connects European partners to Brazilian ecosystems. The Lusophone corridor — Portugal–Brazil — is a strategic asset for any Lusophone-facing initiative.

06

EU–US Transatlantic Bridge via Florida

IMOBI Holdings LLC (Florida) operates as the US strategic hub — access to USTDA, US programmes and the American market for critical systems. Via the Enterprise Europe Network, IMOBI connects to a transatlantic network spanning 600+ organisations across 40+ countries.

06 — Collaboration Model

A Two-Way Relationship

IMOBI does not seek partners to fill technical gaps — we bring comprehensive AI, embedded systems, digital twins and data infrastructure capability. What we seek is strategic complementarity and mutual market access.

What IMOBI brings

  • Active grant pipeline with EU partners and prioritised calls
  • Real pilot territory in Northeast Brazil with existing governance structures
  • Proprietary governance-aware AI infrastructure (licensed background technology)
  • Brazilian R&D capacity with all local overhead handled by IMOBI
  • Active multi-jurisdictional presence — BR + US + EU
  • International networks: ENRICH GLOBAL, ENRICH in LAC, EEN
  • Access to LATAM markets via established operational structure
