Brazil-Germany Chamber initiative enables startups to connect with German companies
On May 29, the Brazil-Germany Chamber launched the 4th edition of the Startups Connected Program, an initiative aimed at developing new businesses between startups and large companies.
“Increasingly, large companies are looking to connect with startups in order to map trends, create products and enter new markets. This does not happen by chance, it is almost a common sense that startups bring speed and originality in their solutions as differentials. This is why we, from the Brazil-Germany Chamber, have been dedicating ourselves since 2015 to open innovation with startups”, says Bruno Vath Zarpellon, director of Innovation and Technology at the Brazil-Germany Chamber.
The Startups Connected Program is an acceleration program that promotes not only the connection between startups and large companies, but also the co-creation of new solutions together with the anchor companies.
This year, the program has 9 challenges from the most varied segments. Check below the challenges and the respective companies participating in this edition:
