iCities, a company specialized in innovation and transformation of cities, confirms the implementation of the unprecedented Hosted Buyers program at the 3rd edition of Tomorrow.Blue Economy Niterói, the largest blue economy meeting in the country. Aimed at coastal cities, the event is one of the company's main initiatives to boost the blue economy, reconciling technological innovation with sustainable development. The project will bring together 60 to 100 local and international buyers who will be rigorously selected by the organization to meet the market's needs. "We invite leaders with a real decision-making mandate, directors and vice-presidents of large shippers, port operators, oil companies in energy transition and development and financing institutions. Each invitation is built based on the specific challenge of that organization and what the event can concretely deliver for it", explains Claudia Ramos, Head of Customer and Success at iCities Events. In addition to organic networking, the program ensures that the innovations presented during the event find funders. “Hosted Buyers have access to pre-scheduled 1-on-1 meetings with technology suppliers and, what makes this edition unique: national and international development institutions will be present as active capital looking for projects to finance”, reveals Claudia. “Those who participate in the program sit at the table with those who make investment decisions, without the hassle of a process that would normally take months”, he adds. Areas such as energy and transition, naval and cabotage, ports and logistics, public sector and capital will also be part of this journey. Tomorrow.Blue Economy Niterói will take place on November 25th and 26th at Arena Niterói, in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. The program will be held exclusively at the Business HUB, the event's main area for holding meetings. To access this space, it is necessary to acquire the Business credential. The opening of sales will begin next Thursday (11) via the website.
