The IFIA Global Startups Connection Program, organized by the IFIA and carried out by the
Latin American Office (LATAM) of IFIA-ABIPIR and the IFIA-Bharat Office in India, having as
Coordinators Mariangela Lückmann, Director of the LATAM Office of IFIA-ABIPIR, Anand Kanan,
Director of IFIA-BHARAT and Marcelo Vivacqua, member of the Executive Committee and Di-
rector of IFIA in LATAM will have the support of InovAtiva, represented by Amanda Ampessan
Cavali, Manager of the events areas and InovAtiva community, to carry out the selection of
10 Startups Brazilians who will participate in the pilot project, in addition to disclosure on
their official channels and joint realization of online presentations of Startups pitches.
The call for Startups to participate in the pilot project of the IFIA Startups Global Connection
Program is scheduled to be launched in September, with 10 Brazilian Startups and 10 Indian
Startups being selected based on pre-established criteria and the synergies identified in their
business models and strategic scalability objectives that point to the possibility of establishing
a “win-win” relationship.
The selected Startups will receive an international certificate that will correspond to a stamp
of excellence from the IFIA-ABIPIR-InovAtiva that will serve as a facilitator to demonstrate
greater resistance with investors, commercial partners, and customers.
After the validation and improvements of the methodology of the Program are completed
with the completion of the pilot project, other calls will be made so that, year after year, the
number of Startups connected can be increased, and a reduction in the very high mortality
rate will be perceived.
Be aware that we will soon make the call for participation in this innovative and innovative IFIA Magazine Septeber 2023
program that will be widely publicized in the communication channels of all entities involved,
IFIA, ABIPIR, IFIA-BHARAT, and InovAtiva.
