The organization of the Brazilian Retail Techs in Argentina (BretA2026) program announced this Friday (27) the official results of the technology-based companies selected to advance to the next phase of the schedule. Following a rigorous evaluation by the selection committee, 14 startups were deemed eligible to join the international mission in Argentina, having met all required eligibility and technical capacity criteria.

The first training phase included the development of the Internationalization Canvas, completion of the program’s official One-page document, and refinement of performance metrics. The program’s main objective is to register 300 qualified connections — including partnerships, investors, and market validations — by the end of 2026.

According to the official schedule, the retail techs that sign the Commitment and Adhesion Agreement in the coming days will move on to the second training stage, which will take place from March 9 to May 8. This period will focus on intensive preparation for the international mission to Buenos Aires, scheduled for May 10 to 16, 2026. During the mission, the companies will seek to establish reciprocal ties and commercial partnerships.

The full list of retail techs selected for the international mission is available on the program’s official website.

What is BretA2026?

BretA2026 is part of Brazilian Startups Worldwide (BSW), an internationalization program created by Fapes. The mission is promoted by the Foundation in partnership with Fecomércio Espírito Santo, Bcome.global, Sebrae, the Innovation Diplomacy Program (PDI) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Mobilização Capixaba pela Inovação (MCI).

The main objective of BretA2026 is to establish lasting connections between Brazilian retail techs and Argentina’s innovation ecosystem. The program will culminate in a seven-day international mission in Buenos Aires, including participation in Retail Day 2026 — one of the leading B2B retail sector events in Latin America — as well as business matchmaking sessions and technical visits.
