The Academia-Industry Training is a binational initiative designed to support researchers and early-stage entrepreneurs from Brazil and Switzerland in transforming applied research into sustainable market innovations. Selected participants will take part in two intensive training weeks — one in Brazil and one in Switzerland — where they’ll develop business skills, receive insights and mentoring, and connect with players from the Brazilian and Swiss innovation ecosystems.

The program is organized by Swissnex in Brazil and the Leading House for the Latin American Region at the Institute of Management in Latin America – University of St.Gallen, in collaboration with the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), and the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MCTI).
