Jornada Amazônia has opened registrations for the Sinergia program, aimed at supporting innovative bioeconomy businesses. The initiative foresees investments of R$7 million.

Free registration runs until Sunday (15) November 2026. Businesses from the Legal Amazon and 7 other countries can participate.

The selected businesses will receive technical support and acceleration from 2027. The program is carried out with the Amazon Bioeconomy and Innovation Park.

Jornada Amazônia opened registrations for a new phase of the Sinergia program, aimed at supporting innovative businesses linked to the bioeconomy in the Amazon region. The initiative will involve an investment of R$7 million and provides support for 50 businesses in Brazil and another four from Pan-Amazon countries.

Registration is free and remains open until November 15, 2026.

Jornada Amazônia is led by the CERTI Foundation and the CERTI Amazônia Institute. The new cycle of the program receives investments from IDB Lab, the innovation arm of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), in addition to Fundo Vale, Santander and Bradesco.

Businesses with innovative and promising solutions aimed at the Legal Amazon can participate. The initiative also foresees the participation of enterprises from Pan-Amazon countries, such as Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and Ecuador.

In this edition, the program will be co-held with the Amazon Bioeconomy and Innovation Park (PBIA), in Belém, Pará.

The selected businesses will receive support in areas such as business and impact modeling, mentoring, technical support, technological acceleration of products, specialized consultancy and access to strategic markets.

The proposal is to support initiatives that generate value from the standing forest. Among the expected segments are food, ingredients, biotechnology, new materials, logistics and industrial technologies, as well as solutions linked to local production chains.

According to the coordinator of Jornada Amazônia, Victor Augusto Moreira, the new edition of Sinergia seeks to strengthen businesses with the potential to become references in the area of ​​socio-environmental impact.

"We need to strengthen these initiatives so that they are prepared to attract great opportunities in investments and negotiations with large companies. The Amazon bioeconomy is beginning to be perceived not only as a relevant environmental agenda, but also as a concrete opportunity for business, strategic markets and sustainable development for the country", he stated.

The program's activities are scheduled for 2027. According to Moreira, the objective is to help enterprises develop business models capable of generating innovation and strengthening the economy based on standing forests.

"The Amazon's difference lies in productive diversity and greater added value, and not exactly in volume as in the logic of commodities", he pointed out.

The new phase also expands the connection between Jornada Amazônia and the Amazon Bioeconomy and Innovation Park, in Belém. The space should be used for face-to-face mentoring, events, testing and product development, in addition to bringing entrepreneurs, companies, investors and partner institutions closer together.

According to the organization, over the last four years, Jornada Amazônia has mobilized R$50 million in investments for the region's bioeconomy innovation ecosystem and currently brings together more than 300 businesses linked to the platform.
