Innovation Programs

Connecting Brazilian Entrepreneurs with Silicon Valley Startups
Corporate Innovation Program
 

Brazilian companies are trying to create new innovation programs in an attempt to find the best ways to adapt to increasing competition in today’s global market. By connecting them with Silicon Valley startups we are able to minimize this increased technology gap and help them develop creative solutions in local and global markets.

University Innovation Program

 

Universities are struggling to create academic programs that match the complex challenges students face in today's world. By learning about Silicon Valley's mindset, faculty and staff from Brazil will enhance their university curricula and also create incentives for young entrepreneurs in Brazil.

Startup Acceleration

Due to both lack of knowledge of the business culture and the high cost of living in the S.F. Bay Area, Brazilian startups are having a hard time becoming part of this ecosystem. Valle Innovation wants to break this barrier and serve as a "port of entry" to Silicon Valley for Brazilian entrepreneurs.
