Science, Technology and Innovation to Protect the Biodiversity of the Amazon Basin

The objective of this technical cooperation is to contribute to protect the Amazon through (i) biodiversity research aimed at discovering properties of commercial value in nature, and (ii) the incubation of science-based startups that use or transform renewable resources into bio-based products in a sustainable fashion. Discoveries arising from biodiversity research may be used by firms to develop new or better bio-based products, who together with the incubated startups will be candidates to apply to innovation and bioeconomy funding programs, some of which supported by IDB investment programs , and to become suppliers of value chains.
