The webinar aims at presenting ENRICH in Brazil accredited Soft Landing Hubs (SLH): Porto Digital and Parque Tecnológico São José dos Campos (PqTEC), 2 trusted organisations who can support European R&I actors exploring and entering the Brazilian market. 

Located in different areas of Brazil, these hubs are key innovation players in Brazil. They will tell us about their regional R&I ecosystem, their sectors of expertise and the services they can offer to EU stakeholders.

Moreover, during the webinar we will present the upcoming call for Viability Assessment Projects the INNOWWIDE project will launch on April 1^st.

INNOWWIDE aims to provide funding to at least 120 European innovative SMEs and start-ups to conduct Viability Assessment Projects (VAPs) in markets outside of Europe. The project will open two calls that will provide up to 60,000€ of funding per project.

The INNOWWIDE pilot call aims to bring European SMEs to the forefront of international markets by allowing them to conduct VAPs in cooperation with local stakeholders around the world, creating the conditions to increase the uptake of European innovative solutions in developing countries, large emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, etc.) and developed countries.
