FINEP opens R$300M non-reimbursable grant for AI, robotics, quantum startups
Why this matters for founders
A Brazilian deep-tech founder should partner with a scientific/technological institution (ICT) and submit on the Finep platform (register plus proposal, budget and pitch video) before the September 30, 2026 cutoff to win grant capital that never has to be repaid.
