The PP&S Network was launched on December 9, 2025, at Insper, during a workshop that brought together researchers, representatives from the private sector, and civil society organizations to discuss Productivity & Sustainability in Brazil.
The event featured a roundtable discussion titled “Productivity & Sustainability: An Agenda for Brazilian Development,” with the participation of Joaquim Levy, Beto Verissimo, and Marcelo Furtado, who addressed the main challenges and opportunities in aligning economic growth with sustainability in the country.
The program also included several research presentation sessions by Network members, fostering knowledge exchange and strengthening dialogue between academia and society.
