Startup, Scm Group partecipes in “Desafix 4.0”
Apr 7, 2025Innovation, digital transformation and sustainable growth are at the heart of the Desafix 4.0 program, a strategic project created in Brazil to bring together the vibrant world of startups, particularly thriving in this market, with the more solid and structured world of large industrial companies. Scm Group is also participating in the program in line with the digital startup scouting strategies and activities that our Group is pursuing in Brazil.
Desafix's goal is to select 20 startups with innovative solutions in different areas including Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, Digital Technologies, ESG - Environmental Social Governance. It is in these areas that the aim is to foster the development of a robust ecosystem capable of promoting new technologies and solutions for a wide variety of industrial segments.
During the five-month pre-acceleration period, selected startups will have access to collaborative workspaces, specialized mentoring, technical advice, in-person and online trainings.
The program takes place in hybrid mode in Joinville (Santa Catarina - Brazil), using spaces such as Hub #Colmeia and Ágora Tech Park.
The Desafix methodology is applied by TXM, our partner specializing in startup acceleration, and is structured in three main phases: Think, Experience and Manage.
“The development of new business models also comes through research and collaboration with innovative startups that develop high-tech solutions capable of accelerating alignment with new market trends,” says Jaison Carlos Scheel, digital startup developer at Scm Group. “We joined the Desafix 4.0 program because it is an important catalyst for industrial innovation, connecting startups to large companies and helping to create an environment conducive to digital transformation and sustainable growth.”
