Key details
In early March 2026, Brazil introduced two significant practical training programs aimed at strengthening business growth through technology and resource acquisition. On March 20, CIEMG will host "Imersão em IA," an 8-hour hands-on course in Contagem, MG, focused on practical applications of generative artificial intelligence. Led by AI expert Jony Lan, participants will use AI tools to enhance marketing, sales, content creation, and optimize processes. The course emphasizes real-world applications to boost productivity and innovation across sectors, with costs at R$ 890 for associates and R$ 1,369 for non-associates.
Meanwhile, the Impacta RS 2026 program launched on March 5 in Porto Alegre targets up to 30 socio-environmental impact businesses in Rio Grande do Sul, offering a six-month training starting May and focusing on financial structuring, project development, and capital access. Co-organized by the State Government’s Secretariat of Innovation, Science and Technology, this initiative supports ventures contributing to climate resilience and sustainable development. Selected businesses, with annual revenues from R$ 360,000 to R$ 16 million, will participate in workshops, mentorships, and ultimately develop projects eligible for credit analysis and funding through Banrisul.
These initiatives underscore Brazil’s commitment to fostering innovation and practical skill development that underpin economic resilience and sustainable progress.
