These contributions have been particularly evident through the cooperation between Temix Group and PTIT, especially in developing models for technology research and design and high-quality human resource development.

One of Mr. Armando Caravella’s notable contributions has been his role in promoting the establishment of the Temix – Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology Advanced Design Center, creating a foundation for the two sides to implement research, technology development, and training activities.
