The SYNAPTIC Symposium marked the launch of a strategic initiative aimed at strengthening the socioeconomic development of Poços de Caldas and the surrounding region: the creation of the Regional Agency for Investment Promotion and Economic Diversification. This initiative is led by Viridis, sponsored by Viridion, and supported by the local governments of Poços de Caldas and Caldas, as well as Invest Minas, BDMG, and the State Secretary of Economic Development (SEDE).

The proposed agency's mission is to expand investment attraction, promote productive diversification, and strengthen collaboration between the public sector and private initiatives. Its ultimate goal is to stimulate job creation, increase income, and solidify a sustainable development ecosystem in the region. The launch event gathered authorities, business leaders, and regional stakeholders, highlighting a collective effort towards economic growth and sustainability.

This initiative not only signifies a proactive approach to regional economic challenges but also reflects a growing recognition of the need for coordinated efforts in fostering economic resilience. By bridging public-private partnerships, the agency aims to address local economic needs while positioning Poços de Caldas as a competitive player in attracting investment and fostering long-term development.
