Sebrae continues to foster vital business connections and social initiatives across Brazil, emphasizing networking and safety at recent events. In Araçatuba, Sebrae-SP is hosting the "Conexões que geram oportunidades" business meeting on November 26, targeting the food sector—restaurants, snack bars, bakeries—and local farmers. This free event, from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM at the Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Econômico, aims to connect buyers and suppliers to broaden market access and strengthen local production chains. Consultant Fernanda Antonialli highlighted the meeting's goal of fostering collaboration beyond immediate sales, helping producers and sellers understand each other's needs to build lasting partnerships.
Simultaneously, at COP30 in Pará, Sebrae presented the Selo Negócios Protetivos initiative, which certifies over 100 local businesses as committed to protecting women and children in public spaces. Supported by major firms including iFood and Uber, the seal involves training frontline staff and implementing prevention protocols, making businesses safer and more socially responsible. Sebrae's director Margarete Coelho stressed, "Protecting women and children is more than just discourse; it is part of the operation, service, and values of a business committed to the future." The initiative aims to create a permanent network that enhances safety while boosting business reputations.
These events demonstrate Sebrae's dedication to nurturing strong business ecosystems and promoting social responsibility, blending market growth with community welfare for sustained progress in Brazil's diverse regions.
