Winners of the Nascer 2024 Program

Over the past 6 months, the Proposta Verde team participated in the Nascer Program, offered by Sebrae/SC in partnership with FAPESC (Foundation for Research and Innovation of the State of SC) and SCTI (State Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation). To participate in the Program, it is necessary to register for the call for proposals and be selected. After selection, the program offers 6 intensive months of knowledge focused on building innovative businesses through lectures, workshops, and mentoring. There is also a platform of practical exercises for improving the idea, building each phase of the project with analysis, research, and reflection.

The program was carried out in 17 centers in the state of Santa Catarina, with the final task consisting of a pitch presentation of the proposed project. Each winning representative from their center was automatically selected for the state-level final phase, which took place in Florianópolis, to compete for economic subsidy prizes. The Musas Coletivo de Moda project, presented by Proposta Verde, was among the five best projects in the state and won an economic subsidy of 50,000 reais.

"The NASCER Program aims to select and support innovative ideas, enabling the conversion of technological knowledge into new innovative products or processes, suitable for market introduction and exploitation, structured through technological tools, technical and market consulting, mentoring, advisory services, and institutional support for the generation of startups. This is achieved by transforming innovative ideas into business plans for ventures, incorporating new technologies into the strategic economic sectors of local innovation ecosystems in the proposed regions, supported by a validated methodology, consolidating the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) ecosystem, and favoring the growth of the economy of the State of Santa Catarina."

Musas Coletivo de Moda is a local socio-environmental impact project that aims to reintegrate industrial textile waste, include women in artisanal work production arrangements, and boost the economy. The team's next steps involve structuring the project's pilot, which they plan to run in the coming months. "Our goal now is to form the first network of artisans and establish partnerships with the local textile industry, working based on the principles of circular economy, collaborative culture, and sustainable development," Ana Pisetta pointed out .
