Registrations are now open for the 3rd SP Conecta, an event that brings together the most important agents that foster innovation in the state of São Paulo to assist startups at no cost at the headquarters of Investe São Paulo.

The event will take place on September 1st, Saturday, from 9 am to 5 pm. The program will feature more than 40 entities for connection, panels and talks with big names in the startup sector.   The Brazilian regional edition of the Startup World Cup begins at 2 pm.

One of the main novelties this year is the coaching offered by Mentores do Brasil. The entity will open registrations for those interested in participating in the coaching on August 1. In addition, some startups that offer solutions for the 4.0 industry will also be available at the event, since fostering the development of the relationship between startups and industry will be the main purpose of this edition.

 “The third edition of SP Conecta should bring together the largest audience among all editions so far. The event is a unique opportunity for the entrepreneurial community of the state to gather in a simple and direct way, favoring new ideas and leveraging business,” said Sérgio Costa, director of Investe SP.

The Startup World Cup is also one of the biggest attractions of the event. The global competition evaluates startups from any segment and maturity stage around the world in more than 30 regional competitions that lead to a final competition in Silicon Valley, where the winner wins a $1 million-dollar prize in investment. Organized and financed by Fenox Venture Capital, the Brazilian regional edition of the event will take place at the headquarters of Investe SP, during SP Conecta, at 2 p.m.

 

 “In the 3rd edition of SP Conecta, we want to contribute to expand the development of the industry in São Paulo. In addition, we want to contribute to the construction of initiatives that are relevant to entrepreneurs,” said Franklin Ribeiro, Investment Manager at Investe SP.

According to Franklin, Investe São Paulo has expanded its presence within the ecosystem of startups by promoting events within the Technology Park of the State of São Paulo and partnerships with other organizations. Check out the initiatives at http://www.investespstartups.org.br/.
