New Entrepreneurship Training and Business Events Boost Opportunities for Brazilian Small Businesses in March 2026

Brazil is seeing a surge of initiatives and events designed to empower small entrepreneurs and microbusiness owners throughout March 2026. These programs provide practical knowledge and strategic insights tailored to meet the evolving demands of Brazil's business landscape.

In São Paulo, the city government, through Agência São Paulo de Desenvolvimento (ADE SAMPA), launched the Fábrica de Negócios program, offering 450 free spots for entrepreneurship training. Registration is open until March 27, with classes starting in early April across various public workspaces in the city. The course, which has already trained over 5,000 people in five years, focuses on providing actionable skills such as pricing, cost organization, online sales, branding, and creating sales pages. Renan Vieira, president of ADE SAMPA, noted that this course is ideal for small entrepreneurs seeking knowledge applicable to their real-world challenges. The training includes six in-person sessions, snack kits, and certification.

Meanwhile, in Caraguatatuba, small business owners are invited to the launch of the Programa Fature Mais by Sebrae on March 12. This event, held at the Secretaria de Educação, will feature a lecture by Geraldo Assunção focused on Brazil's tax reform and the strategic use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance business results. The program aims to build capacities in sales management, cost analysis, finance control, and sales strategies, offering personalized consultation, diagnostics, and follow-up to stimulate growth.

Further north in Salvador, the 6th Congress of Insurance Brokers of the North and Northeast (6º ConsegNNE) is set for March 13 and 14. The event highlights "Business Rooms"—networking and business exchange spaces designed for attendees from the insurance sector. Registrations are open via the CONECTA ENS app, with limited spots. The congress promises insightful discussions led by authorities and industry leaders, supported by logistical arrangements like official transfers and credentialing starting March 12.

Together, these events and programs illustrate a dynamic support ecosystem for Brazil’s micro and small enterprises, combining skill-building, expert insights, and networking to foster entrepreneurial growth.
