With the objective of reaching 75 thousand residents and offering more than 30 thousand jobs, Biopark, Technological Park of Western Paraná, completed another participation in the Rural Show with a positive result. The value of land invoiced exceeded R$ 3 million. In addition, there were more than R$ 8.7 million in land reserves and R$ 1.6 million proposals under negotiation during the five days of the fair.
What helped boost the technology park's real estate sector was the launch of the second stage of the Unimed High Complexity Hospital. The hospital is expected to begin providing services in two years, with robotic surgery in five specialties. For the vice-president and director of Biopark's business area, Paulo Almeida, the health institution is an anchor of the 5 thousand m² territory that the park occupies in Toledo (PR). “We already have UFPR with the medicine course, UTFPR with technical courses, in addition to 200 companies installed in the Biopark. We understand that this entire group increases credibility for those who want to invest and undertake business here”, he states. “The results at the Rural Show were very encouraging”, he adds.
Seal of Excellence
Another launch was the Seal of Excellence in civil construction, with the aim of certifying the quality of products and services, as well as the adoption of good environmental practices by investors who are installing in the park. The works that have the seal meet the criteria for administration and execution of activities, governance and ethical standards, and market infrastructure. They also have projects and construction documentation validated and approved in accordance with current standards. “We strive for quality and excellence in all sectors and the seal is another guarantee that investors have of the success of their business”, says Paulo.
