São Paulo, August 2020 – Eurofarma, the Brazilian pharmaceutical company that invests the most in innovation in the country, is featured in the Top 100 Open Corps 2020 ranking. Organized by the 100 Open Startups platform, the survey identifies which companies are leaders in open innovation and assesses the engagement of large companies in the Brazilian innovation ecosystem.
According to the survey, in the last 12 months, 1,635 companies have entered into partnerships with startups, a figure that represents a twentyfold growth in five years of data presented by the movement. The Top 100 Open Corps ranking, which has been published for two years, is included in the 100 Open Startups ranking, which has been analyzed since 2016, is a benchmark for the market, and uses objective criteria linked to the business relationships developed between startups and large companies.
Eurofarma invests in open innovation through the Synapsis program, created in 2018 with the aim of fostering entrepreneurship and seeking innovative solutions that would help in the company’s daily operations. During the first year, twelve companies were accelerated and nine pilot projects were conducted, resulting in three companies being hired. Last year, eight scale-ups were selected and eight pilot projects conducted, resulting in two companies being hired. In 2020, Eurofarma Synapsis partnered with Endeavor to promote the Scale-up B2B program, for which more than 300 companies from various areas signed up. Of these, 16 were selected and are currently in the mentoring stage.
The Top 100 Open Corps ranking was officially announced during the August special edition of the XII Open Innovation Week (Oiweek). Brazil’s largest open innovation event, Oiweek takes place on August 26-28 and brought to light another interesting fact: 40% of the country’s top 100 open innovation programs are led by women.
