Sebrae/SC leads industrial mission to strengthen Santa Catarina metalworking sector
Sebrae/SC, in partnership with FIESC, SENAI, and SINDIMEC, organized a business mission to strengthen the metalworking sector in Western Santa Catarina. The initiative aimed to expose entrepreneurs from the Concórdia region to advanced industrial practices, technology, and automation.
The mission included visits to major companies and institutions, such as WEG in Jaraguá do Sul, General Motors in Joinville, and various SENAI Innovation Institutes in Florianópolis. Participants explored solutions in robotics, 3D printing, and part development to enhance regional competitiveness.
This effort complements the broader economic development of the region, exemplified by cities like Chapecó. Chapecó has evolved from a rural settlement into a significant business hub by integrating its historical agroindustrial roots with diverse sectors, including metalworking, plastics, biotechnology, and services.
