Among the main highlights of Intermodal 2026, one of the highest-impact announcements was the creation of the Santos Port University.
The project stems from the expansion of the current center of excellence dedicated to training professionals working in port operations, transforming the structure into a university hub focused on technical and academic education.
The proposal provides for the offering of postgraduate and specialization courses, with direct participation of Santos Port professionals in the teaching staff.
The initiative seeks not only to meet regional demand, but to develop qualified workforce to work at different ports in Brazil and even abroad.
According to the announcement presented during the program, Santos Port receives international delegations weekly interested in learning about its operations, which underscores the importance of creating an institution focused on professional excellence.
The project represents a milestone for the sector, bringing together education, technology and economic development.
