The Ginga Afrotech Hub aims to bring more diversity to the startup innovation ecosystem.
On the 30th, Sebrae-SP announced the Ginga Afrotech Hub, which aims to bring more diversity to the innovation ecosystem, meet specific needs, and welcome people of color with projects and activities in the fields of technology and science. There are 130 open positions for the three programmes: Prototype, Immerse and Scientists.
- Free Technology Courses | Entrepreneurship, gaming, programming and more
- Technology Vacancies | Programming, writing, marketing and more
According to Daiane Almeida, consultant at ABStartups, “the programs for technology projects and enterprises have been designed to serve people who today are off the radar of accelerator programs, who choose to support more mature startups”. With this, the initiative aims to increase the number of this profile of startups led by people of color.
Data from the BlackRocks Startups platform reveals that only 25.1% of entrepreneurs self-declared black or brown. “We want to impact the community, create a sense of belonging, and contribute to business growth,” says Lucas Lima, FIPT Consultant, a partner foundation of Sebrae-SP.
