Innovative projects will have incentives of more than R$ 53.6 million this year to be developed and reach the market. Since March 20, the new Notice of Innovation for Industry, formerly known as the SENAI SESI Notice of Innovation, began to receive applications from companies of all sizes and startups interested in funding innovative product ideas and processes.
 
Created in 2004, the SENAI SESI Innovation Notice changed its name this year with the partnership of Sebrae, which will allow meeting an even greater share of the industry's demands for innovative ideas. Two new categories were created: Technological Innovation for Micro and Small Industrial Companies, MEI and Startups and Industrial Entrepreneurship. The objective is to encourage the connection between large companies and technology-based startups and investment in innovation in micro and small businesses.
 
Aimed at promoting a culture of innovation and increasing the productivity of industries, the Public Notice has an investment of R$ 30 million from SENAI, R$ 20 million from Sebrae and R$ 3.6 million from SESI. This year, the goal is to finance 285 projects with an individual cost of R$ 75 thousand to R$ 400 thousand.
