Asunción, Agencia IP.- Gabriel Ortiz, a 21-year-old Paraguayan, has achieved a significant milestone in his academic and professional journey after being selected among the top four projects in this year’s Silicon Valley Incubation Program. A student at the Taiwan-Paraguay Polytechnic University (UPTP), Gabriel and his team presented an innovative app called «CO2,» which stood out among hundreds of international projects, allowing them to travel to the heart of technology: Silicon Valley.

Gabriel Ortiz, Gianna Ruggilo, and Camila Núñez’s “CO2” project addresses one of the 21st century’s most pressing issues: measuring and reducing carbon footprint. The app, named after carbon dioxide, enables businesses and individuals to track their carbon emissions in real-time and offers personalized solutions to reduce their environmental impact.

The idea caught the judges’ attention because it combines technological innovation and sustainability. This approach profoundly resonates in Silicon Valley, where green technology is booming.

The Silicon Valley Incubation Program is among the most prestigious platforms for young innovators worldwide. This program seeks to promote promising technological ideas, allowing selected participants to interact with investors, technology experts, and business leaders at the global innovation hub.
