Key details
In early November 2025, Sebrae/MS held a successful roundtable event in Dourados exclusively for women entrepreneurs, drawing around 50 participants from eight municipalities including Dourados, Maracaju, and Campo Grande. The gathering aimed to foster networking and new business partnerships, with an expected transaction volume exceeding R$ 500,000. Paula Shimonishi, a Sebrae/MS technical analyst, highlighted the event's role in strengthening women-led business networks as year-end approaches. Many participants are involved in Sebrae Delas, a program dedicated to developing female leadership skills, and Move+, which offers business consultancy to improve competitiveness. Among the attendees were artisan Luciana M. Kaninoski and communications consultant Lenita Stocco, who praised the networking opportunities.
Simultaneously, Sebrae Pará is amplifying sustainable entrepreneurship from November 10 to 21 at the Entrepreneurship Zone (En-Zone) during COP 30 in Belém. The 17,000-square-meter venue showcases products from 227 Brazilian businesses representing diverse biomes and emphasizes the bioeconomy and sustainable development of the Amazon rainforest. Activities include immersive experiences, cultural performances, training sessions, and a rich display of Amazonian art and traditional craftsmanship. Rubens Magno, Sebrae/PA superintendent, stated, "The Amazon rainforest is at the center of global debates about the planet's future. Therefore, it is only fair that we showcase a vibrant Amazon that preserves traditions, harbors immeasurable natural wealth, and generates income for its inhabitants." The event supports Sebrae's commitment to promoting economic growth through entrepreneurship while respecting ecological balance.
