Technology-based startup projects will also be funded
Until the 7th of November, the Senai Sesi Innovation Notice is receiving proposals from companies interested in funding for projects in technological innovation, prototype development and in the area of occupational health and safety. Projects of up to R$ 400,000 from industries, of all sizes and sectors, and technology-based startups will be approved. In total, it will be R$ 23.6 million. The document with all the rules is available at Notice website.
The main novelty this year is an effort to strengthen industrial production chains. Institutions may present challenges (problems and opportunities for improvement) that must be solved with new products and processes. The public notice will bring these institutions closer to other companies that are interested in developing innovative solutions.
“Our objective is to connect nascent companies to large industries and, thus, strengthen industrial productive chairs in the field of innovation”, says SENAI's director general, Rafael Lucchesi.
Projects will be selected based on criteria such as innovation potential, the value applied in return for the investment in the public notice and the potential for commercialization of the product or process. Another novelty this year is the support that the Network of International Business Centers, coordinated by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), will offer to selected projects. The CIN Network will identify the export potential of each project and provide guidance to those responsible.
Since the first edition, in 2004, until 2015, the Innovation Notice has already received 5,450 proposals. In all, 686 projects were approved.
