The Serviço de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas do Acre, widely known as Sebrae, is celebrating 35 years of operation in the state of Acre on February 25. Over those years, Sebrae has established itself as a strategic partner for small businesses, which currently account for approximately 75% of the total businesses in the region. These small enterprises play a crucial role in employment generation and income provision in Acre's economy.

Sebrae supports small businesses through various initiatives including training, guidance, and practical solutions tailored to entrepreneurs' needs. The organization also collaborates with government agencies to improve the business environment through policies that support small enterprises. According to Marcos Lameira, the director-general of Sebrae in Acre, these partnerships foster increased opportunities, job creation, and enhanced quality of life within the community, reflecting the essential role that small businesses play in economic development.

With its anniversary, Sebrae not only celebrates its past successes but also reaffirms its commitment to empowering small businesses in Acre. The institution operates several service points across the state, ensuring that entrepreneurs have access to the necessary resources to thrive. As small businesses continue to be the backbone of Acre's economy, Sebrae’s work remains vital for ongoing economic growth and sustainability in the region.
