With Support from DBP, Event “Opportunities for Innovation and Business in Renewable Energies” Opens Agenda for Joint Actions That May Include Public Calls and Acceleration Programs.
The Dabi Business Park in Ribeirão Preto (SP) and the Bio Energy Hub, based in Sertãozinho (SP), have partnered for the development of open innovation initiatives in the areas of ethanol, biomass, biogas, solar energy, hydrogen, and other renewable sources. “This is an important step to create a new reference in open innovation in the bioenergy sector in the Ribeirão Preto region.
The Importance of the Dabi Business Park and Bio Energy Project for the Renewable Energy Market
The combination of the Dabi Business Park’s infrastructure and its resident companies with the network of startups, corporations, and experts we have gathered at the hub are valuable resources for new projects,” explains the founder and CEO of Bio Energy Hub, Marcos Eduardo de Oliveira.
The first event with the support of Dabi Business Park, “Opportunities for Innovation and Business in Renewable Energies,” will be held jointly between Senai and Bio Energy Hub on June 23 at 8 AM, at the SENAI Ettore Zanini School in Sertãozinho — SP. Registrations can be made on the official Bio Energy website.

“Bringing the knowledge, initiatives, and contacts that the Bio Energy Hub has gathered closer to the resident companies at Dabi Business Park reinforces our role in connecting people and businesses aimed at generating innovation and new business,” evaluates Ricardo Agostinho, manager of Area 51, the innovation hub of the business center.
Public Calls
In addition to content and networking events, the partnership will enable the realization of public innovation calls, pitch days for presentation and selection of startups, hackathons, pre-acceleration programs for ideas, startup acceleration programs, and other events that foster what is called open innovation.
“It is essential for the survival of organizations to change the way new solutions are developed. The idea is to break away from the paradigm of extensive and costly research conducted within companies to the open innovation model, which aims to co-create with partners and startups in a simpler, faster, and lower-cost way, creating a win-win relationship,” explains Oliveira.
Northeast is a Leader in the Brazilian Renewable Energy Market, Attracting R$ 62.2 Billion in Investments
In recent years, Pernambuco has joined the group of the five largest producers in the renewable energy market, attracting various partnerships and investments, but which are still almost unknown in the Northeast region, including in terms of publicity by the state government itself.
Meanwhile, Pernambuco is already the fourth state with the most solar energy projects, totaling 2,989 MW, ahead of Ceará.
It is estimated that in the coming years, it will also surpass Rio Grande do Sul in wind energy production. Currently, the state has about 417 wind turbines but is expected to double that number in a few years.
With the Northeast leading renewable energy production, the renewable energy business potential in Pernambuco, according to Reive Barros, Construction Director at CHESF, is 74 GW in wind energy and about 1,220 GW in solar energy.
