University of Warwick strengthens Brazilian business ties On 24 May 2013, 20 delegates from Brazilian entrepreneurship and innovation related organisations and businesses were welcomed into the Science Park as part of a Europe-wide tour. The aim of the visit was to share experiences from innovative businesses and to develop joint support programmes. The University of Warwick and its Science Park welcomed the delegation, showing its close cooperation in helping businesses develop. The visit was organised by Anprotec, Brazil’s science park and business incubator association, and the EBN, the European equivalent. The organisations that visited included the Brazilian Ministry for Science, Technology & Innovation, the University of Rio Grande do Sul and the Tech Incubator MIDI. A visit to the University of Warwick Science Park was regarded highly by the delegation as it was seen as a worldwide exemplar in its field. The University’s relationship with Anprotec as well as the Science Park’s involvement in the UK Market Access Program (UKMAP) is expected to lead to inward investment from Brazil into the UK, particularly in Coventry and Warwickshire. Through the program, facilitated access for UK SMEs (subject-matter experts) will be given to the Brazilian marke through Anprotec’s network of Science Parks and Business Incubation Centres.
