Key details
The São Paulo Municipal Government, through the Teia network under the Ade Sampa agency and the Municipal Secretary of Economic Development and Labor, has announced a comprehensive schedule of free entrepreneurship training activities for January 2026. The initiative aims to empower local entrepreneurs by offering skill-enhancing workshops, lectures, and networking events across 22 Teia units throughout the city.
The program includes a variety of sessions focusing on essential business topics. Notable events include a January 7 lecture on requalification for Individual Microentrepreneurs (MEI), a January 15 workshop on artificial intelligence tools for business applications, and a January 20 networking event to foster collaboration among entrepreneurs. Other workshops will discuss financial literacy, employability, and business pricing strategies.
Secretary Rodrigo Goulart emphasized the importance of these activities, stating they are vital to transform entrepreneurial aspirations into concrete outcomes while providing accessibility by hosting many events that do not require prior registration.
This extensive support network offers entrepreneurs direct access to specialized technicians from Ade Sampa, ensuring personalized guidance. The variety and accessibility of events are designed to nurture business growth and professional development across São Paulo.
While the focus is on São Paulo, it is worth noting parallel efforts in other Brazilian municipalities such as Anápolis, which saw significant advances in entrepreneurship support in 2025 through innovative apps, workshops including on ChatGPT and marketing, and establishing systems like the Selo SIM for municipal business regulation set to launch in early 2026. These initiatives reflect a nationwide trend towards fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems.
São Paulo’s early 2026 entrepreneurship activities signal a strong municipal commitment to supporting local businesses with modern tools and educational resources, aiming to fuel economic development and innovation within the city.
