Piauí attracts European investments and brings startups to the international market from Lisbon

At the Web Summit, Brazil's spaces are consolidated in one pavilion, featuring a federal government stand and individual spaces for Rio de Janeiro and Piauí. Piauí, led by Rafael Fonteles, showcases its digital health initiatives and has expanded its presence with 30 startups this year, in collaboration with Sebrae. The state's representation in Europe aims to connect with the Portuguese-speaking community and attract investments, exemplified by Vila Galé's new hotel projects in Piauí. Fonteles gained national attention during the elections, and his background as a mathematics professor contributes to a positive image of the Northeast region, emphasizing innovation and technology.
