The PMEs Go Green program begins, in January 2026, a structured agenda of training with six workshops planned until March. Right at the start, three meetings kick off the cycle. Thus, the initiative offers practical training, combining in-person and online events, for small and medium enterprises looking for sustainable innovation and competitiveness. Furthermore, the program brings together market specialists, from Emerge and the Brazil-Germany Chamber of Commerce in São Paulo.
In this context, the PMEs Go Green program is an initiative of the Brazil-Germany Chamber of Commerce in São Paulo and the Fundação ECO+. Additionally, the project is part of the AL-INVEST Verde program, funded by the European Union, which reinforces its institutional credibility. Therefore, the central focus is to promote sustainable growth and job creation in Latin America, supporting the transition of SMEs to a low-carbon economy.
Moreover, the program operates through technical assistance, applied training, and access to networking. Consequently, companies receive support to meet the demands of the global market. At the same time, the series of workshops has been designed to address real pain points of entrepreneurs, especially the lack of knowledge about funding lines and the technical difficulty in formatting innovation projects.
