Key details
Two major events in Pará are poised to advance the region's bioeconomy and industrial sectors in 2026. The XVII Feira da Indústria do Pará (FIPA) will take place from May 20 to 23 at the Hangar Centro de Convenções e Feiras da Amazônia in Belém. Organized by Sistema FIEPA, FIPA is the largest industrial business event in the Amazon and expects over 30,000 attendees, including business leaders, specialists, investors, and government representatives. The free exhibition features approximately 100 booths showcasing products and services from various industries, with areas dedicated to bioeconomy, innovation, culture, and gastronomy. The event's highlight is the Technical Congress on May 21-22, focusing on innovation, artificial intelligence, bioeconomy, energy transition, and competitiveness as Brazil repositions its industrial agenda globally.
Complementing FIPA, the InovAtiva de Impacto 2026 program officially launched on October 16 at the Amazon Bioeconomy and Innovation Park in Belém. This initiative, coordinated by Pará's Economic Development, Mining and Energy Secretariat and the Environment, Climate, and Sustainability Secretariat, aims to strengthen the state's impact economy ecosystem with four pillars: Value Addition targeting the açaí chain, Institutional Strengthening of local businesses, Creative Territories fostering entrepreneurship in crafts and gastronomy, and Integration and Articulation to enhance socio-economic impact.
Pará became the first northern Brazilian state to join the National Impact Economy System (Simpacto) in March 2023, reaffirming its commitment to bioeconomy. Camille Bemerguy, deputy secretary of Bioeconomy, emphasized the program's role in connecting forest conservation, innovation, and social inclusion. Rodrigo Machado from the Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce, and Services highlighted Pará's significant cultural, economic, and biodiversity contributions. The event also saw the official formation of the State Committee for Socio-Environmental Impact Economy Development (Cedisa), involving public and private institutions.
Together, these initiatives underscore Pará's strategic focus on fostering bioeconomic growth and industrial innovation to drive regional development and sustainability.
