📋 Tender Overview
With the aim of developing entrepreneurial skills in students, the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae) signed a partnership that focuses on structuring intelligence, management, innovation and training actions. The initiative will be carried out based on the goals of Sebraes National Education that Transforms Program. The technical cooperation agreement (ACT) was signed on Wednesday, December 10, by the Minister of Education, Camilo Santana, and the president of Sebrae, Decio Lima.
The partnership aims to strengthen entrepreneurial education and foster innovation at all levels of education -- from basic to higher education, including professional and technological education. The objective is to contribute to the integral development of students and education professionals, through actions that strengthen skills essential to social, human and sustainable growth.
Practice - Until December 2030, the agreement provides for the inclusion of the development of entrepreneurial skills in the training of students and teachers, in addition to joint support for public calls, projects and programs that encourage technologies and businesses focused on education, innovation and entrepreneurship. The initiative also includes offering challenges and practical actions aimed at stimulating creativity, problem solving and entrepreneurial culture among students.
Supernova - In August, MEC and Sebrae launched the Supernova Program, aimed at students on technical and higher education courses at public educational institutions interested in exploring the world of innovative business.
With a hybrid format, both in person and remotely, the partnership offers, free of charge, a training track that includes content related to the development of entrepreneurial skills, business validation, marketing, MVP construction, sales, financial sustainability, construction and presentation of pitches, in addition to mentoring.
Sebrae, with support from the MEC, began implementing the Supernova training track, which has 3,047 participants. More than 1,100 teams have already been formed across the country. The teams with the best performance will be recognized in a national award and will be able to participate in exclusive face-to-face actions, expanding their network of contacts and opportunities.
