S\u00e3o Paulo, Oct 31 (EFE).- Brazil<\/strong>, Latin America\u2019s largest corporate venture capital (CVC)<\/strong> market, has embraced the expansion of this sector as a strategy to bolster the country\u2019s startups<\/strong>, promote the development of innovative tech solutions<\/strong>, and attract foreign investment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ApexBrasil\u2019s Commitment to CVC Growth<\/h3>\n

The Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil)<\/strong><\/a> has made consolidating and growing this market one of its priority policies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Helena Brand\u00e3o<\/strong>, ApexBrasil\u2019s Investment Manager, told EFE<\/strong> that Brazil offers ample opportunities in the sector, particularly for deep tech companies<\/strong>, which use technology to create impactful solutions for social and environmental issues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrazil is a hub of innovation<\/strong>, and it\u2019s not just about companies but solutions. The country hosts over 50% of Latin America\u2019s unicorns<\/strong>, and more than 60% of the funds that come to Latin America flow into Brazil,\u201d she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brazil\u2019s Leadership in Latin America\u2019s CVC Market<\/h3>\n

According to Global Corporate Venturing (GVC) CEO James Mawson<\/strong>, Brazil has emerged over the past decade as one of the world\u2019s top 10 powers in the sector, with 150 local corporate venture capital firms<\/strong> and $1 billion<\/strong> in investments from foreign companies.<\/p>\n

A report from GVC<\/strong> indicated a 63% increase<\/strong> in CVC market deals in Brazil<\/strong> between January and September 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business ecosystem<\/strong> has transformed in a decade (in Brazil). The country is driving its GDP growth<\/strong> rate through productivity and innovation<\/strong>,\u201d Mawson told EFE.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Highlighting Investment Potential Through Corporate Venture Brazil<\/h3>\n

To highlight opportunities and strengthen the CVC market<\/strong>, ApexBrasil<\/strong> has invested in Corporate Venture Brazil<\/strong> since 2015. Corporate Venture Brazil is the largest event of its kind in Latin America. Its eighth edition<\/strong> brought nearly 30 major international corporations<\/strong> to S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong> this Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing them to explore the Brazilian ecosystem<\/strong> up close.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of startups<\/strong> were also able to showcase their business models<\/strong> to potential investors. Attendees participated in business rounds<\/strong> and panel discussions on topics such as renewable energy, artificial intelligence, bioeconomy,<\/strong> and technological development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

CVC Event Impact and Global Market Alignment<\/h3>\n

Over the past seven editions, this annual event organized by ApexBrasil<\/strong> and GVC<\/strong> has facilitated more than 800 business meetings<\/strong>, generating at least $600 million<\/strong> in new investments, with aims to continue increasing these outcomes.<\/p>\n

Brazil\u2019s CVC market figures<\/strong> align with a rising global market<\/strong>. In 2013, the global venture ecosystem grew from $55 billion to $250 billion<\/strong> in 2023, with corporate venture capital<\/strong> playing a major role, surging from $20 billion in investments in 2013 to $111 billion in 2023<\/strong>, Mawson said.<\/p>\n

Envisioning the Future of Venture Capital<\/h3>\n

Mawson added that, on average, around a quarter of all transactions worldwide<\/strong> involve the participation of a large corporation, which also reduces the risk of failure for startups<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we think of venture capital<\/strong> or corporate venture capital<\/strong>, it\u2019s about envisioning the future and investing in it to accelerate progress while understanding trends that allow us to benefit and be part of the solution. Climate change, sustainability,<\/strong> and electrification<\/strong> are all part of these challenges,\u201d he concluded. EFE<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
