Text description provided by the architects. ACATE (Santa Catarina Technology Association) is the main representative of the technology sector in Santa Catarina, encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation. It has over 1,200 members across 13 hubs. In 2019, another ACATE Innovation Center (CIA) was inaugurated in the city of São José, Santa Catarina. The architectural project was developed by Studio Methafora, while the corporate interior design is a partnership between Desterro Arquitetos and Beatriz Zeglin. Two spaces were designed for this hub. On the ground floor, the LinkLab is installed—a program that has been bringing medium and large companies closer to startups since 2007. Meanwhile, a space for ACATE was developed on the upper floor.
