The English editions of Radar Agtech Brazil 2025 and the new Radar Agtech Latin America and Caribbean will be launched on June 30 on a webinar supported by the Innovation Diplomacy Program. The studies provide one of the most comprehensive overviews of agrifood innovation ecosystems in Brazil and Latin America & the Caribbean.
Radar Agtech Brazil identified 2,075 agritech startups operating across 468 municipalities, alongside 390 innovation environments dedicated to agribusiness innovation. The findings suggest that Brazil’s agritech ecosystem has entered a new phase: moving beyond rapid expansion toward greater institutional maturity, technological sophistication and more selective investment dynamics.
A key finding of the report is the growing role of Artificial Intelligence. Rather than serving as a competitive advantage on its own, Al is increasingly becoming a foundational layer integrated into business models and production systems. Its applications are closely linked to digital agriculture trends such as loT, remote sensing, predictive analytics, automation, robotics and data-driven farm management.
Don’t miss it!

Idesam has launched the Amazon Bioinnovation Challenge, an international call aimed at researchers, R&D professionals, innovators, people living or working in the Amazon region, and anyone interested in turning knowledge into concrete bioeconomy solutions.
The initiative brings together six strategic challenges: bioactives from Amazonian oils, functional oils, new rubber-derived products, strengthening the Brazil nut value chain, adding value to fruit residues, and developing functional starches.
Selected participants will gain access to a full innovation journey, including financial support (grants of up to R$7,500 and US$1,300/month), specialized mentorship, access to leading laboratories, and immersion in Amazonian territories. In addition, projects may access up to R$100,000 for development and compete for up to R$450,000 in investment.
If you work with science, technology, and innovation and want to create real impact, this is your opportunity to contribute to solutions that combine economic development with the protection of the Amazon’s forests and rivers.

🇧🇷 Para criar a lista, a revista TimeOut pediu a 24.000 moradores locais de mais de 150 cidades que avaliassem a qualidade e o preço da cena cultural onde vivem, e que contassem exatamente o que sua cidade faz de melhor, desde comédia e carnavals até música ao vivo e literatura.
Segundo a revista, Melbourne pode reivindicar com segurança o título de capital cultural da Austrália. A cena artística da cidade recebeu impressionantes 92% de aprovação dos moradores locais, a quarta maior pontuação entre todas as cidades pesquisadas.
São Paulo teve boas pontuações em cultura em geral, com 69% dos moradores locais dizendo que a cena artística e cultural é ‘boa’ ou ‘incrível’ em nossa pesquisa, e 66% a considerando econômica. E embora a cidade seja conhecida pelas artes visuais, segundo 58% dos moradores, o melhor da cultura em São Paulo é a música ao vivo.
