ABOUT US
By cariocas.
For cariocas.
Made in Rio is the platform organizing Rio’s
AI ecosystem.
Think of us as Google for AI opportunities, events, jobs, bosses, etc. in Rio de Janeiro
Rio has the best STEM universities of Latin America. Government support (have you heard of Eduardo Paes? The guy is crazy about Rio!). Major companies (hello energy!). Investors (we all know that Faria Lima imported everyone from Rio). Incredible talent. Ambitious founders.
The missing piece is the ecosystem layer. That’s us.
Innovation belongs to rebels. Get on the list.
