Programa Nexus investe R$ 20 milhões em inovação no agro

Com um aporte de R$ 20 milhões em verbas estaduais voltadas ao fortalecimento da genômica no agronegócio, o Programa Nexus – Inovação Aberta estreou oficialmente nesta sexta-feira (13), em Curitiba. Na ocasião, foram revelados 16 problemas tecnológicos apontados por 12 grandes corporações, além da abertura oficial para o cadastro de Instituições Científicas, Tecnológicas e de Inovação (ICTs) do estado e de empresas de base tecnológica (deep techs) de todo o país.

Inovações e demandas tecnológicas no campo Sediado na Hotmilk, o ecossistema de inovação da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUCPR), o lançamento ocorreu em colaboração com o Banco Regional de Desenvolvimento do Extremo Sul (BRDE). O ponto alto do encontro foi uma sessão de pitch reverso, onde as corporações expuseram suas reais necessidades para que acadêmicos e empreendedores criassem respostas práticas.

O secretário estadual da Inovação e Inteligência Artificial, Marcos Stamm, pontua a importância da iniciativa. “O Nexus fortalece a conexão entre empresas, pesquisadores e instituições de tecnologia para transformar conhecimento científico em soluções aplicadas ao agronegócio. Com esse investimento, o Paraná estimula o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias, aproxima a pesquisa das demandas do setor produtivo e amplia as oportunidades para empresas inovadoras”, afirma.

Parcerias estratégicas e articulação Sob a coordenação da Secretaria da Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior (Seti), a iniciativa junta o BRDE, a Seia e a Fundação Araucária, contando também com o apoio da Finep na formatação da chamada pública. A estrutura do projeto se baseia na metodologia do BRDE Labs, cujo objetivo é transformar gargalos corporativos em projetos de tecnologia avançada.

Entre as companhias participantes estão nomes como Agrocete, Castrolanda, Cocamar, Coopavel, Cooperativa Aliança, GoGenetic, Guararapes, Imunova, Intecsó, Macrobio, Remasa e TMG.

Regras de financiamento e cronograma O edital prevê três formatos de repasse financeiro. Parcerias entre empresas âncoras e deep techs garantem até R$ 1,5 milhão. Ligas entre empresas e ICTs contam com teto de R$ 1,25 milhão. Já os grupos que unirem empresas, deep techs e ICTs paranaenses podem alcançar até R$ 2 milhões por proposta.

As inscrições para o credenciamento de ICTs e deep techs seguem abertas até 17 de dezembro. O cronograma prevê mentorias, workshops e a escolha de até dez projetos vencedores, que terão prazo de até dois anos para execução. Os interessados podem conferir todas as diretrizes na página oficial da iniciativa na internet.
