STATE, an innovation ecosystem that encourages the development of the creative industry, smart cities, deep tech and hard science, is Exago’s newest partner in Brazil.

The independent hub for innovation and creative economy was born in São Paulo in 2019. Covering over 20,000sqm, the space was inspired by the world’s largest complexes, such as Station F in Paris, New Lab in New York, AHA Factory in Berlin, and La Nave in Madrid.

A unique ecosystem to drive growth

Now joining the Exago Partner Programme, STATE aims to be an ecosystem that connects the areas of science, technology and creative economy with the innovation areas of large companies and startups.

“One of the roles of STATE is to offer innovation tools for companies to drive their growth through culture of innovation and collaboration, a purpose aligned with Exago’s core principles,” explains Bruno Erlinger, Head of Business and Community Development at STATE.

As Exago’s Head of Partnerships, Andreia Agostinho Dias, explains, this is a unique partnership. “The STATE innovation hub is a space for co-working and events, but which has also created an innovation ecosystem that comprises large companies, startups and tech companies.

By bringing together this impressive network and Exago’s leading idea management software, we can fully support businesses to boost their innovation performance and build upon the experience of some of the most challenging fields today.”

STATE is the latest partner to join Exago’s strategic global network, which offers wider reach to customers in key geographies and new opportunities for partners. Find out more about the Exago Partnership Programme here.
