Brazil is experiencing a wave of expansion of entrepreneurship: 96% of the new companies opened monthly are small businesses and more than half of the formal jobs in the country come from this segment 47 Million of Brazilians express intention to undertake in the next 3 years. These numbers show the strength of the call New Economy and they reinforce the need to create bridges between sectors that often operate in isolation. It is precisely to fill this gap that Hub Society in partnership with Equity Group, a holding company led by Joao Kepler, and SME The New Economy, led by Theo Braga, holds today, in Sao Paulo, a meeting with the presence of more than one 30 Ecosystems business, innovation, education and industry in Brazil.
“We want this meeting to go far beyond an exchange of cards. The idea is build bridges among sectors that rarely dialogue, such as academia, media, technology, finance, so that they leave with concrete” projects, says Eduardo Nunes, founder of Hub Society.The investor points out that the format was carefully designed to ensure representativeness: bank directors, innovation hub presidents, startup managers and association executives they will be in the same environment.“Connecting those with a vision of the future is the shortest way to business ”, says Joao Kepler, CEO of Equity Group.The proposal is to transform this meeting into a catalyst for partnerships and joint initiatives that can impact the market immediately and durably.
The list of confirmed includes names of weight as Stanford; InovaBra, Cubo Itau; MIT Tech, XP Education, Editora Gente, among others. The logic is simple: each guest is one strategic point within its ecosystem, which makes it possible to access, in a maximum of 2 phone calls, any relevant contact in Brazil. Logic works as a network of strategic shortcuts. Each dinner guest officially represents an ecosystem, whether it is a bank, a trade association, an accelerator or an innovation hub, and has direct access to the main leaders of this group. This means that if a startup needs support for internationalization, for example, it is enough to trigger the present representative, who in up to 2 phone calls connects the demand to those who can solve it. The concept turns the meeting into a national network of ecosystems, where any relevant contact is just a few steps away, eliminating barriers of access is rather than an objective business. ecosystem network that connect to generate value among themselves.
In addition to business connections, the dinner will also have a relevant social development. The results and projects that arise from the articulation will be reverted into a training program for 500 young university students in technology and artificial intelligence, an initiative made possible by Hub Society, sponsor of the event, in partnership with Atria. Thus, the meeting not only brings together some of the main business and innovation hubs in the country, but also it gives value to society, reinforcing the role of the business ecosystem as an agent of economic and social transformation.
