We are pleased to announce that we hosted the Demo Day of the BraSilesia - Polish-Brazilian Acceleration Program last week, bringing together innovative startups from Brazil and Poland!
This event, organized by the Katowicka Specjalna Strefa Ekonomiczna S.A.. and tecnoPARQ UFV, was a fantastic opportunity to exchange experiences and strengthen cooperation between our countries.
During Demo Day, Brazilian startups – Cashy Finance, Scipopulis, Evis, Amazonly, and Befer - B4AM – had 5 minutes to pitch their innovative ideas and showcase their potential for internationalization to Poland. At the same time, Polish companies – Cropler, Get Vision, Insignes Labs, MiFood, Saventic Health, and Scan the Sun – presented their projects and made the case for expanding into the Brazilian market.
A big thank you to the jurors from Poland and Brazil who evaluated the projects and contributed to the success of this event! Your support and engagement were invaluable:
• From Poland: Karolina Wilk-Tryjanowska, Rafał Żelazny, Kuba Nagórski, Michal Chojkowski, Przemysław Magaczewski
• From Brazil: Adriana Ferreira de Faria, Anna Júlia Neves, Pedro Emboava, Josias Amaral
Congratulations to Anna Ogar from Insignes Labs and Luis Carlos Alipio from EVIS for winning the TOP prizes!
