Idesam Communication

The Committee for Research and Development Activities in the Amazon (CAPDA) granted accreditation to AMAZ Aceleradora de Impacto to operate its impact business acceleration program in Suframa's R&D&I ecosystem.  

CAPDA Resolution No. 55, of July 25, 2024, which formalizes the accreditation, requires AMAZ to keep the list of technology-based start-ups linked to it up to date and to prove, at any time, compliance with the requirements necessary to maintain the accreditation. With CAPDA's approval, as of this resolution, AMAZ can provide business acceleration services, limited to 5% of the project budget. 

Within the scope of the Information Technology Law, impact businesses that have approval and investment from companies in the Manaus Industrial Hub (PIM) may be accelerated, counting on the expertise of Idesam's impact acceleration program, in addition to the experience in executing R&D Law programs, from the preparation of the work plan to independent auditing. 

AMAZ Impact Accelerator was created by Idesam to help build a new economy in the Amazon, through investments in innovative and scalable startups and impact businesses that generate income and prosperity through the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of the forest. It currently has 18 impact businesses in its portfolio, having accelerated a total of 33 impact businesses that contribute to the new economy of the Amazon.
