Next Selection Phase
The 28 pre-selected startups will participate in the first phase of the internationalization training stage, focused on business and marketing, scheduled to take place between January 26 and February 20.
Each pre-selected retail tech will receive targeted training for two specific professionals: the CIO (Internationalization Leader) and the CMO (Marketing Leader). During this period, companies will be required to complete mandatory deliverables, which will be rigorously evaluated by the organizers based on quality and punctuality criteria.
The learning tracks were designed to prepare entrepreneurs for the real challenges of internationalization, covering essential topics such as cultural differences and practical guidance on how to — and how not to — conduct business outside Brazil.
In addition, the training will provide support for prior prospecting efforts, teaching strategies for outreach and scheduling meetings, as well as offering practical tips to ensure alignment and success during the international mission.
At the end of the entire process, each company will have finalized its One-page presentation in both English and Portuguese, ensuring a global-ready sales tool.
After this stage, the highest-ranked retail techs will present before an evaluation panel that will select up to 15 companies for the international mission phase in Argentina, scheduled from May 10 to 16, 2026.
Final Results
The final list of selected companies will be announced on February 27, and the official list of participants in the international mission will be released on March 7.
