The city of São Paulo will host Brazil's first Artificial Intelligence Festival! StartSe, the first international business school created to prepare leaders for a world in constant disruption, will hold the AI Festival, a gathering of professionals, experts, and companies interested in understanding and practically applying the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in business and society.
A highlight of the AI Festival is the presence of Manus AI, making its first appearance at a Brazilian event following participation in an international StartSe immersion. Regarded as one of China's leading artificial intelligences and among the world's most advanced, Manus AI operates with highly sophisticated algorithms and at an operational level that sits at the forefront of knowledge, making the company a global benchmark.
Beyond the company itself, the programme will feature prominent global figures in the sector, including Nicolas Robinson Andrade, Head of Policies for Latin America and the Caribbean at OpenAI, Rodrigo Tozzi, Head of Operations at Tools for Humanity, Claudionor Coelho Jr, Chief AI Officer at Zscaler, and Luis Tonisi, President of Qualcomm for Latin America. The list also includes Henrique Meinking, Sales Director at Palantir Technologies, Débora Mioranzza, Head of Latin America at Figma, Nelson Leoni, CEO of WideLabs and responsible for Amazon IA, considered Brazil's sovereign artificial intelligence, Vitor Oliver, CTO of Nubank, and Thiago Viana, Innovation and Partnerships Director at iFood. Following their presentations, all speakers will be available for hot seat sessions and exclusive discussions, providing valuable opportunities to interact directly with leaders at the forefront of global technological transformations.
The event showcases the key global trends in artificial intelligence, connecting the local ecosystem with the frontiers of innovation. “More than an event, the AI Festival is a movement that consolidates StartSe's leadership in this area. It's a unique opportunity for executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals to access the most advanced AI in the world in just two days,” says Cristiano Kruel, Chief Innovation Officer at StartSe.
The festival reinforces StartSe's position as a benchmark in applied artificial intelligence for education and business in Brazil and Latin America. The company is an international business school that prepares executives to act with agility, foresight, and mastery of emerging technologies, especially AI. Its unique learning model blends theory, practice, and networking with global experts, in immersive experiences connected to the world's leading innovation hubs, including Silicon Valley, China, Israel, Portugal, and São Paulo.

The structure of the StartSe AI Festival is designed to offer a complete experience for participants. The venue will feature the Ultra Stage, a business fair with demonstrations, activations, and networking opportunities, workshop rooms with over 100 simultaneous workshops, and Hot Seats for mentoring and conversations with experts.
