Grow
“We aim to develop a more competitive economy, offering startups the possibility to test and adopt new products and services in real life scenarios”
In 2017, the José de Mello group entered into a new stage of innovation by launching an area dedicated to startups.
In developing initiatives to support startups, the Group equally seeks to modernize and develop the economy, enabling innovation and incentive to the creation and development of startups.
To materialize this new challenge in the field of innovation, a specific scheme to support the development and growth of startups, called Grow, was set up.
