With the participation of six major companies from Argentina and another 20 major national buyers, on March 11 and 12, 2025, during Expodireto Cotrijal, another edition of Sebrae RS's Buyer Project will take place. In 2024, the initiative involved 25 buyers, 168 sellers, 400 meetings, and an estimated business volume of over R$8 million.
An international event that boosts business and strengthens the agribusiness sector, the initiative creates unique opportunities for micro, small and medium-sized companies to expand their markets and close deals with large companies in the metalworking segment.
The event will take place at the Sebrae RS collective booth in the afternoon and will feature business rounds aimed at companies in the metalworking and industrial services sector. For ten years on the annual calendar of Sebrae RS, the Buyer Project has attracted large companies interested in establishing strategic partnerships with small entrepreneurs.
“This is an excellent opportunity for small businesses to access large organizations and offer their products and services. It is an opportunity to generate connections and do business. Many large industries in the segment participate in the business rounds. It is a very favorable environment to stimulate partnerships and highlight the expertise of each company”, highlights Jakson da Luz, a specialist in sector competitiveness at Sebrae RS.
Companies interested in participating in the business rounds can still register through the Sebrae RS website. For more information and registration, Click here.

This model of Sebrae RS’s participation with micro, small and medium-sized companies close to large organizations has been a success. The 2024 results of Sebrae RS’s business rounds prove this. Therefore, we have no doubt that the results in 2025 will be even better”, highlights Armando Pettinelli Neto, Northwest Regional Manager of Sebrae RS.
