AMAZ Aceleradora de Impacto is participating in the “Inova Amazônia Summit”, which ends this Friday, the 23rd. In the track that is addressing topics on technology and information, we will present socio-environmental impact solutions that are underway.
The event takes place in Macapá (AP) and brought together several actors from the ecosystem over three days to discuss solutions with socio-environmental impact.
Isis Arébalo, New Business Analyst, will represent AMAZ in the panel “Everything new again: The Power of Local Communities to Generate Innovations and Impact on the Forest”, which will be held in the Macapá auditorium, at 5:30 pm this Friday.
The event will present practical examples of innovation led by Amazonian communities that combine traditional knowledge and technologies to respond to the region's social, economic and environmental challenges.
Isis Arébalo highlights that the creation of public policies and partnerships with companies can boost community-based businesses with a real impact on the forest, but those who live in the forest must take the lead.
“The importance of the topic lies precisely in recognizing that the sustainable development of the Amazon is only possible with the strengthening of those who live in and know the territory”, emphasizes the AMAZ analyst.
