ENRICH in LAC recently delivered the much-anticipated Twinning Programme. The aim of the network was to connect Latin America and Europe. The two-day event, on October 16th and 17th, provided a platform for Soft Landing Hubs to showcase their services, organisation, regional reach and scope, and industry expertise through engaging pitches. The Matchmaking Session allowed the intertwining of SMEs aspirations with Soft Landing Hubs’ service packages. Interestingly, Soft-Landing Hubs discussed and shared ideas, best practices, challenges, and connected with other Hubs thought relevant for collaboration on the Roundtable/Innovation Talk introduced.

ENRICH in LAC strives to position itself as a reference point between market connaisseurs and those who aim to take the first steps towards internationalisation and beyond-border expansion. The Twinning Programme was a positive proof of concept for future replication.

Here you can find the Soft Landing Hubs that pitched at the event:

• Krakowski Park Technologiczny Sp. z o.o.

• Softlanding by Landing.Jobs

• BRIDGE IN

• Intermediano

• ILM Group

• mentorDay

• The Venture Builder

We would like to extend our gratitude to those who participated and actively engaged during the event. For all the Soft Landing Hubs that pitched, partners, and SMEs, your involvement was greatly appreciated.

Stay tuned for more events, learning opportunities, networking, and exciting announcements from ENRICH in LAC.

ENRICH in LAC is developing the Twinning Programme, a dynamic online gathering tailored for European and Latin American businesses seeking international expansion and aiming to enhance their capabilities in soft landing services. This event aims to foster strong connections between the LAC and European business communities. 

During this event, Soft Landing Hubs will have the opportunity to pitch about their services, organisation, regional scope and industry focus to potential clients in Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean, followed by a Matchmaking Sessions where SMEs can follow up on their interest instigated by the Soft landing Hubs pitches. 

Soft Landing Hubs are welcome to come pitch their ideas, and use ENRICH in LAC as a platform to gather contacts, increase cooperation and compel clients, and companies are invited to learn about foreign innovation ecosystems, network and take their first steps for internationalisation and expansion.

The event will go on for two days: 

Day 1: October 16th 2023

Day 2: October 17th 2023

Time:

• 14:00 – 17:00 (CEST)
• 13:00 – 16:00 (WEST)

Market Immersion Programme Webinar has been recorded and is now available on our YouTube channel

The demand for fuels in Brazil is rising rapidly with an annual growth rate of around 5%. Expanding the supply of existing alternative fuels in Brazil, such as biodiesel and ethanol, cannot keep pace with this development, or could lead to increased, undesirable environmental side effects. In the National Strategy of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTIC), therefore, alternative fuels are a priority in order to continue to meet growing demand with innovative technological alternatives while contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The invited experts are expected to share insights and exchange experience in their specific field of activity and discuss the potential responses actual challenges in their countries.

Watch it now:

The session also aims at discussing and exploring cooperation possibilities between institutions of the two countries. Both Brazil and Germany have been making strategic investments in quantum technologies, which is bound to revolutionize areas such as computing, cryptography and metrology. The webinar will be shared between Prof. Dr. Daniel Braun, from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Tübingen, and Prof. Dr. Rafael Chaves from the International Institute of Physics (IIP-UFRN, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte), in Brazil.

About the lectures:
Quantum metrology – the art of measuring (Prof. Dr. Daniel Braun)
Quantum metrology is one of the three pillars of the ongoing quantum revolution 2.0, alongside with quantum computation and quantum communication.  Its central goal is to improve the measurement of physical quantities (e.g. magnetic fields, temperature, or weak gravitational signals) by using quantum mechanical effects such as quantum interference, quantum entanglement, or the detection of single quanta. It is already now feeding back into many areas of science and technology, such as astronomy, archeology, or imaging, with corresponding large stakes in future high-tech industry.

The talk will give a brief introduction to quantum mechanics in general and then show at the hand of a few examples what kind of improvements can be achieved by systematically exploiting quantum effects for metrology.

What is quantum computing? (Prof. Dr. Rafael Chaves)
Quantum computing is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach and solve a variety of problems. In this introductory and short talk, we will explore the feats, features and failures of quantum computers, narrating a bit of their history, main algorithms and applications, also discussing the challenges and prospects for the near future.
