​SPTW Founders Kickoff

​Welcome to São Paulo. Welcome to SPTW. 🇧🇷🚀

​Join us for the SPTW Founders Kickoff, the opening gathering for founders during São Paulo Tech Week 2026.

​Hosted at Oracle São Paulo, this special morning is designed as a welcome and onboarding experience for startup founders coming to São Paulo from Brazil, Latin America, and around the world.

​We’ll explore the Brazilian startup and business ecosystem, opportunities to enter and scale in the Brazilian market, and the AI technologies and solutions being developed in Brazil.
