SPIW São Paulo Innovation Week 2026 takes place in São Paulo, Brazil, with the support of the PDI Innovation Diplomacy Program.
The event’s target audience includes government leaders, corporate executives, scientists, academic representatives, large global companies, as well as startups and international innovation ecosystems. The program will cover areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced automation, deep tech, applied science, smart cities, financial markets, agribusiness, and other emerging technologies, with a strong emphasis on applied innovation and globally relevant solutions.
In discussions with the event organizers, they expressed interest in expanding international participation, particularly by including startups and local companies that offer high-impact solutions and prototypes, especially in cases where there is no equivalent available in Brazil. According to the SPIW team, in certain specific situations, the possibility of providing logistical support—namely transport and per diem—may be considered for participation in the event.
