Startup Connected Roadshow Brazil: A Week Full of Insights, Feedback & Inclusion

What a week – and we’re only just starting to realize how impactful this journey truly was! Thanks to the Startup Connected Roadshow, organized by the AHK Brasil and DWIH São Paulo, we had the opportunity to explore São Paulo – and we return full of ideas, inspiration, amazing encounters, and a deep sense of validation for the work we do every day.

We didn’t just present our innovative, self-adjustable prosthetic system in what felt like half of São Paulo – we also gained valuable insights into Brazil’s healthcare and sports ecosystems. The exchange with manufacturers, clinics, sports facilities, and innovation hubs was incredibly inspiring – especially regarding the needs of people with limb differences.

For us, it was a strong confirmation: The demand for affordable and accessible prosthetics is global – and even more urgent than we initially assumed.

Huge thanks to all organizers, hosts – and especially Pâmela de Oliveira and Alice Brim for the many hours of hands-on support and coordination throughout our meetings. We return not only with an expanded network, but also with concrete ideas for future partnerships in Brazil.

We’re excited to see what will grow out of this experience in the coming weeks and months – and what visions we’ll be able to turn into reality.
