Sebrae RS Buyer Project connects small businesses to large companies at Expodireto 2025

With the participation of six large companies from Argentina and another 20 large national buyers, it takes place on March 11 and 12, 2025, during Expodireto Cotrijal, another edition of the Buyers Project of Sebrae RS. In 2024, the initiative was attended by 25 buyers, 168 sellers, 400 meetings and an estimated turnover of more than 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 metal-mechanic segment.

The event will take place at the collective booth of Sebrae RS in the afternoon and will feature business rounds aimed at companies in the metal-mechanical segment and industrial services. Ten years ago in the annual calendar of Sebrae RS, the Buyer Project attracts large companies interested in establishing strategic partnerships with small entrepreneurs.

“This is an excellent opportunity for small businesses to have access to large organizations and offer their products services. It is an opportunity to generate connections and do business. Many large industries in the segment participate in business rounds. It is a very conducive environment to stimulate partnerships and highlight the expertise of each company”, says Jakson da Luz, a specialist in sectorial competitiveness at Sebrae RS.

Companies interested in participating in the business rounds can still apply through the Sebrae RS website. For more information and applications, please click here..

This model of participation of Sebrae RS with micro, small and medium-sized companies close to large organizations has been a success.

Thus, we have no doubt that the results in 2025 will be even better”, says Armando Pettinelli Neto, Regional Manager Northwest Sebrae RS.
