Regional Brazilian Cities Drive Business Innovation with Expanded Support Events in 2025

Several regional cities in Brazil are actively promoting business innovation and entrepreneurship through significant events this year. In Registro, the Expo Empreender will be held from December 12 to 14 at Praça Beira Rio, featuring a new layout aimed at strengthening the local business environment and generating opportunities. Organized by the Prefeitura de Registro and supported by key institutions such as SEBRAE, SESC, and SENAC, the event includes artisan stands, gastronomic areas, cultural presentations, thematic panels, and SEBRAE’s business rounds specifically focused on women entrepreneurs. This initiative fosters networking, partnerships, and provides spaces for training and business growth strategies aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises.

Meanwhile, in Natal, the 10th Business Forum took place from October 27 to 29 at the Convention Center, with strong municipal government involvement. Arthur Dutra, representing Mayor Paulinho Freire, highlighted the city’s commitment to fostering investment and innovation beyond tourism. The Prefeitura’s integrated booth showcased services from multiple municipal departments, including the Sala do Empreendedor, which offers free assistance to micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses. Procon Natal also contributed by educating entrepreneurs on consumer rights and best practices. Adding to the event’s community engagement, local students presented entrepreneurship projects incorporating Brazilian cultural elements, demonstrating the city’s support for youth innovation.

These initiatives indicate a broader push by regional Brazilian cities to create favorable ecosystems for business growth through collaborative events, government support, and educational programs. By combining resources from government bodies, service organizations, and the local community, these cities provide vital platforms for entrepreneurs to develop, connect, and thrive.
