Key details
Sebrae is actively supporting local entrepreneurs in the Amazonas and Amapá regions through targeted initiatives designed to enhance business development, networking, and management skills. On March 27, Sebrae Amazonas hosted a business meeting at its Aleixo service point aimed at connecting entrepreneurs and fostering partnerships to strengthen local enterprises. This event gathered business owners who had previously received Sebrae assistance to share experiences and identify common needs in areas such as consulting, management, and customer relations. Alongside discussions, technology solutions to improve business efficiency and reduce costs were demonstrated by Aletech, a company specializing in intelligent technology. Entrepreneur Veneza Rocha emphasized the event's value in helping micro-entrepreneurs reduce costs and build connections, while Adriane Castro highlighted how the initiative boosts the confidence and visibility of women entrepreneurs from the Mães Empreendedoras Ouro Verde project.
Meanwhile, in Amapá, the Carreta Empreendedora do Sebrae concluded a successful visit to Itaubal, providing training to 200 entrepreneurs between March 24 and 27. This included workshops, business consultations, and technical visits tailored to enhance knowledge and support business formalization. One participant, 70-year-old carpenter Manoel Jorge Tavares, received valuable guidance on formalizing his acai processing business, expressing deep appreciation for Sebrae’s assistance. Though the Carreta has moved on to other locations, Itaubal will continue to receive support via the Sala do Empreendedor, one of 15 such service points in the Amapá region, which offers services including formalization and ongoing training. The workshops also addressed key sectors like tourism and fish production with topics such as credit acquisition and digital marketing.
These initiatives reflect Sebrae’s strategic efforts to foster entrepreneurship by identifying specific local needs and providing practical resources, training, and networking opportunities. The Aleixo meeting will be the first of many planned to enhance partnerships and business growth in Amazonas, while the expansion of Salas do Empreendedor across Amapá reinforces continuous support for small and micro enterprises.
