INAITEC has opened registrations for the 5th edition of the Acelera Pedra Branca Program, an ideation and acceleration initiative aimed at startups, innovative companies, and entrepreneurs from across Brazil.
The program selects businesses with high impact and innovation potential, regardless of maturity stage — from ideas in the MVP phase to companies in traction or scale. The goal is to support the structuring, validation, and growth of innovative solutions aligned with ten strategic areas, such as health, agriculture, smart cities, education, fintechs, disruptive technologies, and management platforms.
During the acceleration period, selected ventures will have access to a complete formative track, specialized mentoring, continuous monitoring by the program team, and infrastructure at the Pedra Branca Technology Park in Palhoça (SC). The program also offers access to the City Lab Pedra Branca for testing and validating solutions, as well as strategic connections with investors and market partners.
The Acelera Pedra Branca Program is structured around two main tracks: the Formative Track and Specialized Mentoring, complemented by mandatory events such as the Kickoff Bootcamp and DemoDay — the moment when startups present their results to investors, strategic partners, and innovation ecosystem actors.
Registrations can only be made through the online form and remain open until March 22, 2026. Startups at any stage of development may apply, as long as they demonstrate technological innovation, a dedicated team, and alignment with the program's objectives.
Register your startup in the Acelera Pedra Branca Program and accelerate your growth with technical support, strategic connections, and real market opportunities.
