Rated 2 (not 1) on the disclosed BRL 300 million (~USD 56.9 million) subsidy pool — a smaller round than the parallel BRL 500 million FINEP "Rodada 2 – Transição Energética" call filed the same day (also severity 2), but well above single-beneficiary FINEP grants such as the BRL 90 million Eve Air Mobility award (severity 1). This is an open, multi-company, multi-technology-line call rather than a single recipient, which keeps it at the low end of the severity-2 band rather than pushing it to 3.
FINEP runs "Mais Inovação Brasil" as a standing series of sector-specific subsidy rounds funded through the FNDCT (Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico) under MCTI (Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação). This round — Cadeias Agroindustriais Sustentáveis — targets companies developing new products, processes or services with technological uncertainty (TRL 3-8) in the agro-industrial value chain, with an explicit brief to strengthen sustainable and digital agro-industrial chains, expand food and nutritional security, and improve the productivity and competitiveness of Brazilian agriculture, plus a technical-textiles line. Projects located in Brazil's North, Northeast or Center-West regions receive additional evaluation points. Funding is non-repayable economic subsidy (subvenção econômica), not a loan, submitted through the Finep Financing and Support Platform.
