Who the EU|55 Entry Sprint is for

This program is designed for:

  • European startups (from seed to scale-up)

  • Innovative SMEs / tech & industrial companies

  • Corporate innovation teams & spin-offs

The problem we address

“We want to enter Brazil, but we lack market clarity, trusted local connections and a structured entry framework.”

Brazil offers strong growth opportunities, but it is:

🔹 complex

🔹 and risky without reliable local support

The EU|55 Entry Sprint allows you to test before committing, with structure, context and local insight.
