Embraer has announced an initial investment in the MSW MultiCorp 2 of R$20 million (around US$4 illion/£3.2 million), to attract and boost innovative Brazilian start-ups that synergize with the company’s innovation strategy. Embraer has strengthened its role in promoting entrepreneurship in the Brazilian ecosystem, not only by making investments but creating partnerships with entrepreneurs interested in working collaboratively.
MSW MultiCorp 2 is managed by MSW Capital, a Venture Capital manager and a pioneer in Brazil specialised in corporate venture capital. This is MSW’s second multi-corporate venture fund. The model developed by the manager allows large corporations to invest in start-ups in a strategic and structured way. Upon entering the fund, Embraer joins Moura Baterias and BB Seguros in expanding the fund’s investment focus areas in insurance and energy for start-ups with digital and platform solutions for the aerospace, agro and cargo-logistics sectors.
