    The Mobilizing Entrepreneurship for Innovation (MEI) Program will be 15 years old in 2023. The group, coordinated by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), brings together about 500 companies and leaders from all over Brazil to discuss and propose actions in the field of science, technology and innovation. One of the main objectives of MEI is to strengthen the innovation ecosystem in the country.

    “We have made a special effort to increase the number of participants from different regions of the country in the mobilization of companies for innovation. The idea is that the movement has a greater representation and expresses the wealth and pluralism of the national and Brazilian industry “, says the CNI. President Robson Braga de Andrade.

    The meeting of the Committee of Leaders of the MEI was held on Friday (25), at SENAI Cimatec, in Salvador. The president of the Confederation of Bahia Industries (FIEB), Ricardo Alban, participated in the opening, welcoming the executives.

    The result of this effort is that 45 companies have joined MEI this year. Among them, there are companies from Ceará, Pernambuco, Paraná, the Federal District, Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Santa Catarina.

    15 years of expression

    Ultrapar’s president, Pedro Wongtschowski, has been making MEI performance history for 15 years. He noted that MEI’s work led to the creation of Embrapii, an agency to promote and invest in innovation. He also highlighted the establishment by the CNI and SENAI of a network of 26 SENAI Institutes of Innovation and 60 SENAI Institutes of Technology spread across all regions of the country.

    In addition to the executive branch, MEI has developed a constructive relationship and association with the National Congress and strengthened the alliance with the scientific and technological community and its representative entities,” Wongtschowski commented.

    For the future there are important challenges, underlines the Executive. Wongtschowski argues that companies and governments should focus their attention and invest in health, food, energy, climate and defense security. “To do this, we need advances in education, scientific and technological research, research and development, innovation ecosystems, business training and worker qualification.”

    In the morning, other important topics were discussed in panel discussions and speeches:
