INNOVATION TIES

Your idea. A shared strategy. Greater goals.

We connect international companies and research centers looking for innovation partners, and we mediate each step from the first conversation to the agreement.

01 / WHY IT IS WORTH THE WORK

In the 2020s, technology connects production chains across cultures from the very first idea. Teams in different countries can now develop a project together from day one, compressing into months what used to take years. Cross-cultural partnerships are where some of the most original innovation happens. They are also demanding: different languages, expectations and ways of working can slow a promising project down. With the right support, a shared ground for communication and clear working mechanisms, two diverse teams can reach their goal and build something new together.

02 / WHAT WE DO

Connection, and everything the connection needs.

  • Connection services for international institutions looking for academic and business research partners in Brazil.
  • Focus on innovation cooperation: applied research, product development, technology, and academic and business cooperation agreements and projects.

03 / HOW IT WORKS

Six steps, from the first description to the signed agreement.

  1. Tell us about your project.

    Describe your team’s idea, scope, goals and specifications.

  2. Receive a first mapping.

    We reply with initial field research on potential partners that match your profile.

  3. Plan the connection.

    When both sides show interest, we plan the next steps with you.

  4. Delegation visit (optional).

    If the connection involves a visit to Brazil, we plan every step with you: travel, accommodation, schedule, a study of the partner institutions, and the cultural processes that support a successful partnership.

  5. On-site support.

    Interpreting in your meetings and concierge service throughout the visit.

  6. Formalize the partnership.

    When you decide to move forward, our partner lawyers provide full legal guidance and draft agreements that protect the goals and processes of both parties.
