Alexandre Alves: Today, we discuss how to accelerate and invest in Amazon bioeconomy startups. Alexandre Alves of USAID Brazil works to build platforms for collective action. After uniting philanthropy from multinational companies in São Paulo through Grupo +Unidos, he repeated the same in Manaus. Today, the Partnership Platform for the Amazon mobilizes investors to support Amazon-region businesses and accelerates startups that expand regional bioeconomies. Join us to learn about Alexandre’s journey. What is next? What new support can we expect from the Biden administration? As a Latin American enclave, can Florida become part of an Amazon-focused investor-entrepreneur bioeconomy and commercial trade development pipeline?
