The District, specialized platform for AI implementation projects for corporations in Latin America, and Santander Bank Brazil will carry out, next Monday, 31 March, from 2:20 PM, the award of the Santander X Acelera program. The initiative aims to boost startups and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through the adoption of Artificial Intelligence. The event will take place in person at the Santander headquarters, located in the São Paulo capital.
After four months of the acceleration process and personalized mentoring, 10 startups and 13 SMEs were selected for the final phase. Among them, three startups and three SMEs will be awarded, receiving R$ 25 thousand each, in addition to strategic connections with investors and exclusive access to Santander X 100, community dedicated to startups, scale-ups, SMEs and entrepreneurs.
Startups and SMEs play a fundamental role in the transformation of the national economy, thanks to their agile and innovative business models. However, these companies still face growth challenges, especially in the areas of technology and innovation. In light of the accelerated advancement of Artificial Intelligence, our purpose is to connect these companies to a favorable ecosystem, helping them overcome barriers and strengthen their competitiveness in the market, explain Gustavo Araújo, CIO and co-founder of Distrito.
