Speed-Networking: Connect with 20 Startups from Brazil!

On December 12, the German Brazilian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Rio de Janeiro and GERMANTECH are holding a speed-networking event for 20 Brazilian start-ups and micro companies from the bioeconomy sector in the framework of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Brazilian Support Service for Micro and Small Enterprises (Sebrae) and Brazilian Industrial Development Agency (ABDI).

The event aims to promote the entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as the bioeconomy in the Amazon region, to internationalize small companies and make them competitive, and to use the regional resources in a more sustainable way.

The objective of the Project is to contribute to the implementation of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Entrepreneurial spirit meets the strength of implementation.

The world is constantly changing. New opportunities are emerging. Tomorrow's prosperity is being created today. The driving force behind it all? Innovation. But keeping up with the pace is hard, especially for established companies and institutions. Having ideas is sometimes easy, but implementing them effectively is always difficult. That's exactly what drives us, and what we do.
