Startups at the table with the German Foreign Minister. In São Paulo. 🇧🇷🇩🇪

At CUBO Itaú, founders from hydrogen, fintech, agtech, industry 4.0, and enhanced rock weathering sat alongside corporate innovators from BASF and Siemens and GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund investing in LatAm.

The German delegation came with a question: what can Germany learn from Brazil?

Start2 Group no Brasil presented focus verticals: energy, mining, agriculture, and health tech, with real scale and direct access to key public (ApexBrasil, Sebrae, and ) and private stakeholders.

When startups are part of the government agenda, this is how pro-innovation policy gets built. 🚀
