The 2025 Call for Startup Selection is an initiative of Axcxell Accelerator and Business Consulting and the Priority Bioeconomy Program (PPBio), which is coordinated by the Institute for Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Amazon (IDESAM). The mission is to select bioeconomy startups operating in Western Amazonia (Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia, Roraima) or in the State of Amapá.
The objective is to foster solutions that promote environmental sustainability, income generation, innovative use of Amazonian biodiversity, and productive inclusion. Interested startups must have innovative business models, with proven growth potential, and already be in the operation or traction phase.
The call offers the opportunity to receive financial investment ranging from R$ 1 million to R$ 10 million, in exchange for equity participation. In addition to the investment, selected companies will receive support, mentoring, and access to the contact network of Axcxell and the ecosystem coordinated by IDESAM, aiming to accelerate their development and regional impact.
The company’s headquarters, branch, or operation must be mandatorily located in the states of Western Amazonia (Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia, and Roraima) or in the state of Amapá. Startups must be in the operation or traction phase and demonstrate growth potential. To know all the requirements, a complete reading of the public notice is essential.
The initial analysis of the proposals will be carried out by the team of the Call Organizers (Axcxell and Idesam/PPBio). In the final stage of the process, the classified startups may be invited to present their projects and documents to a deliberative panel. This panel will be composed of the Organizers and invited experts, who will make the final decision on the investments to be made.
