The project 'Amazon I Want 2026', launched by the Amazon Network Foundation, debuted its new season in Brasília with a focus on the theme of 'Democracy in the Digital Age'. The event brought together parliamentarians, business leaders, experts, and civil society representatives to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the Amazon region, especially in the context of an election year. This year's initiative aims to promote informed voting and enhance dialogue on sustainable development and social inclusion concerning Amazonian futures.

Marcelo Bechara, the Director of Institutional Relations and Media at Grupo Globo, delivered the keynote lecture, emphasizing the transforming role of technology in achieving a more integrated and participatory Amazon. His insights highlighted the importance of addressing the impact of digital tools on democracy in the current electoral climate, aiming to ensure transparency and public engagement in the electoral process.

As Brazil gears up for elections, the discussions surrounding digital democracy are increasingly relevant, appealing to a broad audience concerned with the sustainability of the Amazon and the involvement of citizens in their governance. The engrossed exchanges at the launch suggest a heightened awareness of the need to adapt democratic processes in light of technological advancements, fostering a potentially more engaged electorate amid the complex socio-political landscape of Brazil's Amazon region.
