The state of Acre has hosted significant regional events focused on economic development and production. In late August, the second edition of Expo Xapuri concluded in the Alto Acre region, establishing itself as a major agricultural event featuring rural production, business opportunities, and cultural entertainment.

Following this, the Inova Amazônia Summit was held in Rio Branco. This event focused on bioeconomy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, aiming to transform the region’s biological diversity into sustainable business opportunities. The summit included a showcase of regional products for national buyers and featured numerous speakers discussing sustainability and the potential for Acre to serve as a hub for sustainable economic development.

Building on this momentum, the Inova Amazônia Summit 2026 is being held at the Federal University of Acre (Ufac) in Rio Branco. Organized by Sebrae, the summit serves as a platform for innovation and sustainability within the Legal Amazon. This edition features 141 speakers, 90 startups, and 20 companies linked to Geographical Indications. The program includes tracks such as Bioeconomy and Business, Sustainability, and Amazonian Youth. A specific panel, ‘Female Entrepreneurship: Women Moving the Amazon’, addressed the role of women in leading sustainable businesses and overcoming structural barriers. The event continues to aim at showcasing the Amazon's capacity for biodiversity-driven economic growth to national and international investors.
