Sebrae leads Brazilian AI startups on international mission to China

Sebrae is organizing an international mission to China for 12 Brazilian startups specializing in artificial intelligence solutions for small businesses. The mission, scheduled from October 31 to November 8, 2026, serves as the conclusion of the Scale IA acceleration program.

The delegation will consist of 30 participants, including 17 entrepreneurs and representatives from Sebrae Santa Catarina. The itinerary includes visits to technology companies, innovation centers, and business meetings across four cities: Hangzhou, Wuzhen, Jiaxing, and Shanghai.

Objectives of the trip include observing large-scale AI applications, cloud computing, robotics, and business automation used by Chinese companies. While the mission aims to identify technological collaboration opportunities and understand international business models, it does not include immediate investment for the participating startups.
