A Transfero, financial solutions company based on blockchain, is about to take five Brazilian startups to the Web Summit Lisbon, technology and innovation event that will take place from November 11 to 14. The initiative is part of the Next Leap program, a collaboration with Unisuam, Sicoob Companies, Coinchange and EBM Group, for the acceleration of companies that have been in the market for less than five years.
The program started in August, with exclusive mentoring that addressed business development and revenue models, marketing and customer acquisition, innovation in products, fundraising and team management. After training period, five out of 20 startups were selected to represent Brazil in Lisbon. The chosen ones are 95co, AmazBank, Portside, Infratoken and Openi. Each one will have the opportunity to be an Alpha exhibitor on one of the days of the event.
The participation of Brazilian startups in Web Summit Lisbon demonstrates national innovation in a competitive global landscape, reinforcing Brazil's role in the technology ecosystem. In addition to international visibility, it is an opportunity for new partnerships and investments, says Márlyson Silva, CEO of Transfero and speaker of the event.
