ENRICH in Brazil is proud to count the Embassy of Slovenia to Brazil among its new ENRICH members! In order to launch this new relationship, and as part of ENRICH’s services to its members, a matchmaking session was organised on 29th October 2020 between key Slovenian and Brazilian innovation chain actors, specifically focusing on chemistry areas microplastics, bioplastics and catalysis of chemical reactors.
Great discussions took place and some exciting ideas of collaboration were identified between the Brazilian and Slovenian counterparts, with the participation of leading researchers from the National Institute of Chemistry of Slovenia (NIC) including ERC European Research Council Advanced Grantee Prof. Dr Roman Jerala, and various other Brazilian researchers including SENAI Institutes of Electrochemistry, Polymers and Biosynthetics representatives.
The conversations, moderated by the Embassy of Slovenia and ENRICH in Brazil, already got a step closer to potential synergies during a second meeting on 11 November between Brazilian counterparts and NIC to discuss collaboration ideas, like microwave-assisted chemical recycling.
We expect this launch event to be the start of a long and fruitful relationship, connecting successfully Slovenian and Brazilian key actors in several innovation areas!
