AMAZ is present at two major events held in August: the Impact Minds 2023 Conference: Stand Together 2023, from Latimpacto, an ecosystem builder that stands out for increasing the flow of human, intellectual and financial capital for impact in Latin America and the Caribbean; and the Glocal Experience Manaus 2023, which takes place in the historic center of the capital of Amazonas, with the proposal to promote dialogues, meetings and culture to think about new tomorrows from a local and global perspective.
Through Latimpacto, AMAZ is part of the Pan-Amazônia group, which seeks to promote spaces for dialogue for connection and shared learning between financial organizations operating in the region. This group promoted three online sessions on the themes 1. Conceptualizing the bioeconomy in the Amazon, 2. Advancing the bioeconomy based on doubts and certainties about investments and enterprises, and 3. What remains to be done and developed? Building the path to a positive, inclusive and sustainable bioeconomy in the Amazon.
The ultimate goal of this series of meetings is to develop the 1st paper with recommendations for governments and capital providers on the state of the bioeconomy in the region, which will be released at the Impact Minds Conference.
Gabriela Souza, responsible for accelerating business and institutional management at AMAZ/Idesam, will participate in the conference as part of the thematic panel on “The frontier of the bioeconomy and opportunities in the Pan-Amazon”, together with Aline Souza (SBSA Advogados), Márcia Soares ( Fundo Vale) and Maurício Verkooijen (NESst). The event, which takes place from the 28th to the 30th of August, is aimed exclusively at funders and impact capital mobilizers.
“Participation in this group has been very rich in strengthening AMAZ's presence in the ecosystem, enabling the connection with actors and potential national and international partners that have similar and/or complementary actions to ours and exchange of experiences and learning. The Conference will be an opportunity to bring this group closer together, mainly pan-Amazonian actors, but also to expose the work we have been doing for investors who are not yet adept at or far from the thesis – we will compose the academic agenda in a conversation with Nesst, Fundo Vale and SBSA to discuss the frontiers and opportunities of the bioeconomy in the Amazon”, analyzes Gabriela.
The Amazon Program at Casa Floresta em Pé will also be present at the Latimpacto conference with a stand to present the initiative and sell products.
Glocal Experience for the first time in Manaus
THE glocal defines itself as a platform for ideas and actions to fulfill the 2030 Agenda, based on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. The first edition took place in 2022, in Rio de Janeiro, and was attended by thousands of people, offering content, workshops, workshops and cultural attractions.
In 2023, in addition to taking place once again in Rio de Janeiro, Glocal arrives in Manaus with the same format, with free access to activities and with the intention of being a catalyst for the union of different sectors, initiatives and people in the search for solutions for achieving the 2030 Agenda. The movement's premise is to think globally and act locally, encouraging various pacts for the implementation of the SDGs.
In the capital of Amazonas, the Glocal Experience will take place from the 26th to the 28th of August, with activities at Largo São Sebastião (Show Stage and Espaço Criança), Palácio da Justiça (Impact Stage / Challenges and Solutions Stage / Hands-On Space), Hall of Hotel Juma Ópera (Glocal Stage) and at Teatro Amazonas (Shows: Encontro das Águas and Encontro dos Bois de Parintins).
Rafael Moreira, responsible for business selection at AMAZ/Idesam, participates in the event composing the panel “Business with Impact: The Challenges of Generating Profit and Positive Impact”, which will take place on 08/27, from 12:00 to 13:00, in the Salão do Hotel Juma Opera.
“The Global Experience Manaus event echoes AMAZ's own way of acting, seeking to integrate international, regional and local actors into a broad agenda with the purpose of keeping the forest standing, conserving and benefiting traditional populations and communities, integrating to actors of the most varied forms of social action. Specifically in this agenda, we will talk about the challenge of integrating impact and profit.”
