AI Shark Race competition to launch at AI Brasil Experience

The AI Shark Race, a business competition focused on artificial intelligence, will take place on October 29 at the Distrito Anhembi in São Paulo during the AI Brasil Experience 2026. The event features a judging panel including Polishop founder João Appolinário, CONFI CEO Pedro Chiamulera, Professor Anderson Soares from the Federal University of Goiás, and LIAHUB CEO Mozart Marin.

Inspired by television investment formats, the competition requires participating companies to present their business models, market opportunities, and growth potential. Unlike idea-stage competitions, participants must be active companies with an established CNPJ and revenue history. The winner will receive strategic mentorship and a service package valued at R$ 150,000, including maturity diagnostics and leadership evaluations.
