Launch of the IFIA-ABIPIR International Startup Acceleration Program

[Brazil– November 24, 2023] The announcement of the launch of the IFIA-ABIPIR Startup Acceleration Program took place at a significant event organized by the Business Mobilization of Innovation, a division of the National Confederation of Industry in Brazil.

In attendance were Dr. Marcelo Vivacqua, the Director of IFIA in Latin America and a member of the entity’s Executive Committee, along with Mr. Danilo Melo, the Head of the Latin American Office of IFIA-ABIPIR.

The event drew over 100 attendees, including distinguished figures such as the Vice-President of Brazil, Mr. Geraldo Alckmin, and the President of the CNI, Mr. Ricardo Alban. IFIA and ABIPIR hold seats on the Business Mobilization for Innovation Leaders Committee. 

The Business Mobilization for Innovation is a movement designed to encourage innovative strategies among Brazilian companies and enhance the efficacy of policies supporting innovation through constructive and enduring dialogue between the private sector, academia, and the public sector.

The IFIA-ABIPIR International Startup Acceleration Program, established by the IFIA Startups Department, will be executed by the Brazilian Startup “Startups Global Link,” co-founded by Mr. Rodrigo Grossi. Its primary mission is to contribute to reducing the high mortality rates of startups by facilitating connections with startups, investors, and clients (companies, governments, academia) from other countries. This approach aims to expand the possibilities of securing new businesses and increase the likelihood of survival and success.

The program was presented to representatives from over 70 countries and was officially submitted for consideration at the 37th IFIA General Assembly held in Geneva, Switzerland, where it received unanimous approval and enjoyed the full support of Mr. Alireza Rastegar, the President of IFIA, a visionary leader who recognizes the program’s significant potential to enhance IFIA’s contribution to making the world a better place by encouraging the development of innovative solutions by inventors, scientists, and startups.

Registration is now open for startups interested in participating in the program, as well as for consultants seeking to join the team of professionals with proven experience in startup-focused business areas.
