A Network of Innovation Supporters
ENRICH in Brazil is part of the European Network of Research and Innovation Centres and Hubs (ENRICH). We’re here to encourage and promote cooperation towards research, technology and entrepreneurship between Brazil and Europe.
This is us
Started as a European Commission funded project under the H2020 framework programme (CEBRABIC) back in 2017, ENRICH in Brazil (European Network of Research and Innovation Centres and Hubs) set up a Non-Profit Association in December 2019. Other ENRICH Centres are located in China, the USA and in Europe as ENRICH Global.
The ENRICH initiative believes that a higher social welfare can be achieved through innovative measures in several fronts, from industrial and academic research to public policies and business management. With a consolidated innovation hub in Brazil and benefitting the knowledge created and absorbed since 2017, ENRICH in Brazil will be able to contribute not only to Brazilian research, science, and technology progress, but also to the fulfillment of the enormous potential of the country.
This potential will bring positive spill-overs to other regions as well through the partnerships created and consolidated by initiative. Likewise, European countries will be able to benefit from the excellence provided by Brazilian partners of all concerned sectors. This will enable the exchange of expertise and experience between Brazil and other ENRICH centres, making the initiative even more global.
In a world where the creation of knowledge increasingly happens on a global scale, and in an accelerating pace, ENRICH in Brazil is prepared to overcome these challenges and contribute to the prosperity of all people directly or indirectly related to the Centre and its network.
