SENAI-PE launches PERSEUS, a space startup accelerator to boost innovation in 2025.
With the support of SpaceSeed and MOA Ventures, SENAI-PE reinforces its leadership in innovation, not only in Pernambuco, but throughout Brazil. The institution, accredited as an Embrapii unit (Brazilian Company for Industrial Research and Innovation), has been driving important projects in geospatial intelligence, such as monitoring natural disasters and supporting public safety.
In addition to the accelerator, SENAI-PE is part of a consortium with the regional branches of São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Bahia, with the goal of launching a Brazilian satellite constellation, which will have a significant impact on both industry and national security. With these advancements, the institution is paving the way for a more innovative and connected future, boosting the space industry in Brazil.
