A Morning of Connections and Innovation with the ELI Summit of Sebrae Minas

Yesterday morning (07/10), the innovation ecosystem of Uberlândia experienced an inspiring moment. We received a challenging and exciting invitation: to participate in a special tour with the ELI Summit, an event organized by Sebrae Minas, bringing together players from different ecosystems in the state to closely learn about some of the main innovation points in our city.

In total, there were 5 buses, coming from 19 cities, totaling 214 people eager to connect, learn, and share experiences about entrepreneurship, technology, and transformative businesses.

The journey began at UFU - Federal University of Uberlândia, passed by MTI - Minas Technology and Innovation, Gate 3 (YC S21), Biofy Technologies, and continued to Brain - Center for Innovation in Digital Business.

During the visit to Biofy, we had the opportunity to present our main solutions in artificial intelligence, climate, and biotechnology, in addition to the challenges that motivate us to continue innovating every day. It was rewarding to see the interest and enthusiasm of the participants as they got to know our team's work up close.

Our city is open to people and institutions that have the clear objective of generating innovative businesses, positively impacting lives, and transforming the future. Come back often — and bring more people with you! Let's spread the energy!

The Granja Marileusa: a hub that inspires

For those who participated in the tour, it was also possible to experience what makes this environment so special. The neighborhood where Biofy is located is nationally recognized as one of the great examples of an innovation ecosystem.

Check out some facts that show the strength of this place:
