São Paulo Tech Breakfast
Join leaders from the Sao Paulo startup and technology community, the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT), Startup Guide, and STATE Innovation Center for a morning conversation centered around building, scaling, and shaping the future of tech in Brazil.
Our breakfast event brings together local founders, investors, and ecosystem builders for a candid look at what’s happening in the Sao Paulo tech scene right now: what’s accelerating, what’s getting harder, and where the biggest opportunities are. We’ll also connect those on-the-ground realities to how Brasilia-level policy decisions are evolving, and what they could mean for teams building and growing across Brazil.

About Developed: Brazil
The Developed: Brazil Tour is bringing together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to discuss local startup realities and how government decisions in Brasilia increasingly shape the way teams build, launch, and scale. The goal is simple: build a stronger cross-border community, discuss what’s working (and what isn’t) for tech innovators, and carry those insights and relationships from Developed: Brazil into broader conversations about digital policy and competitiveness in Brasilia and beyond.
