Held at Instituto Caldeira, in Porto Alegre (RS), the meeting marked the “graduation” of the six early stage startups selected for the program, who presented their evolution during the six-month journey.
Startups that participated in the program (and that went through a filter of a total of 176 registered startups) received R$ 30 thousand as “startup capital” to help develop their solutions. The startups were: Cellva Ingredients, ConnectBio, CropsTeam, Culte, MititechAgro and Zeit. Each had a SLC executive as a sponsor, as well as access to the company’s experts and external mentors as references in the agribusiness innovation ecosystem.
At the opening, the CEO of SLC Agrícola, Aurélio Pavinato, congratulated the Innovation team and highlighted that one of the company’s objectives is to continue to grow and innovate. “Increasingly, we want to think and act differently and act in an innovative and more efficient manner,” he said. Following this, the Head of Innovation, Frederico Logemann, gave an overview of the company’s initiatives on this front.
