The secretary of Informatics Policy of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Information (Sepin/MCTI), Virgilio Almeida, and representatives of the Start-Up Brasil program announced the projects chosen for the first acceleration group.
 
Based on the analysis of the 908 entries (672 Brazilian and 236 foreign), market, academia and government representatives selected 45 Brazilian and 11 international projects, which will form part of an acceleration program to be carried out by one of the nine accelerators qualified for the Start Up Brasil.
 
The secretary recalled that Start-Up Brasil is a key initiative of the TI Maior program, which seeks to create a special space in Brazil for the emergence of companies with innovative IT products and services.
 
The program has two major components: qualified accelerators and nascent companies selected by the initiative, which together aim to create a competitive and innovative environment for ideas coming from universities, for projects coming from entrepreneurs and for investors in search of successful products and services. .
 
“Start-Up Brasil attracts talent from both Brazil and abroad. It is a modern, agile and well-structured program that combines the interests of companies with the government's strategic objectives,” said Virgilio. “It is a public-private partnership that has all the conditions to support IT startup companies”.
 
In the evaluation of the program's operational manager, Chief Operational Officer (COO) Felipe Matos, Start-Up Brasil is an “innovative” action, because the government and the private sector work in partnership. “On the one hand, the government finances the most important cost for a startup, which is people. On the other hand, the accelerators offer management support and insertion in the market”, he observed. “This is the main differential, because more than money, the program offers contacts, training and mentoring in management, in addition to relationships and access to a network of companies and investors. We will also have the International Hub in Silicon Valley, in partnership with Apex. Entrepreneurs will have the Espaço Start-Up Brasil, in San Francisco, where they will be able to work and receive support for their internationalization”.
 
According to minister Marco Antonio Raupp, the creation of environments made up of accelerator companies and accelerated companies is a “requirement of the innovative Brazil that we are building, with government and society”.
