Startup Selection for the Natura Amazon Challenge
 
Registration is open for startups interested in participating in the Desafio Natura Amazônia - Negócios para a Floresta em Pé (Natura Amazon Challenge - Businesses for a Standing Forest). Organized by Natura in partnership with Artemisa (a nonprofit organization), the initiative aims to support entrepreneurs in the Amazon region who have positive socio-environmental impact solutions which are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations (UN).
 
Up to 25 startups will be selected to integrate a pre-acceleration process, a high-impact immersion, in which business models will be worked on, and socio-environmental impact will be refined. To be eligible to participate, it is necessary that the company brings a socio-environmental impact solution that can be applied in the Amazon region, even if it has been designed for other areas of the country. Startups that have developed prototypes or have products in the testing phase on the market, or that have already been validated on the market and are in the stages of first sales or expansion are of interest.
 
The entrepreneurs selected will have access to innovative tools, networking with business people in the region and mentoring with a solid team of experts in their field and in business of social impact. The goal is that, at the end of the program, entrepreneurs have more clarity about their businesses next steps so that they can advance in the development of fundamental aspects within their entrepreneurial path and are better prepared to grow and generate social and environmental impact in the region.
 
Entries can be made until September 30th. For more details and requirements please, access our site.
