MANAUS, Brasil, 19 de novembro de 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A 8ª edição da Feira Internacional da Amazônia preparou para hoje um momento especial para os empreendedores da região. Conhecido como Demo Day, ou dia de demonstração, o evento é realizado para que as startups tenham a oportunidade de se reunir com potenciais investidores – venture capital ou investidores anjo.

É nesse palco que cinco equipes formadas pelos jovens empreendedores que, em junho, participaram do Boat Challenge terão sua primeira oportunidade de mostrar seus projetos para uma banca de investidores. Eles terão três minutos para o pitch (apresentação) e a partir desse momento serão dois minutos para responder da maneira mais objetiva – e sedutora – as perguntas feitas pelos investidores.

Para Luiz André Soares, gerente de Valor Compartilhado da Coca-Cola Brasil, "trata-se de um conjunto muito promissor de iniciativas que demonstram a riqueza de empreendedorismo e inovação presente no Amazonas".

Abaixo, a descrição dos cinco projetos que irão se apresentar hoje, às 14h (horário local), no auditório montado na FIAM:

Amazon Share – grande vencedora do Boat Challenge - startup de turismo de base comunitária para hospedagem de turistas nas casas dos ribeirinhos. Uma experiência que vai colocar as pessoas em contato com a natureza e promover o desenvolvimento financeiro para as comunidades.

Edu Money – Cursos de educação financeira acessíveis em breve vão ser uma realidade em Manaus.

Já Marquei – Marcação de consultas de forma simples e rápida por meio de um site ou aplicativo.

Banheiros Secos – desenvolvimento de um banheiro sustentável, que evite a poluição dos igarapés: uma caixa feita de madeira e coberta por serragem. O resíduo seria transformado em adubo orgânico.

Kapok, Semente Empreendedora – acompanhamento de universitários por meio de workshops, cursos e coaching para promover a união de carreira com propósito.

Sobre The Boat Challenge Coca-Cola Brasil

Um navio, o Rio Amazonas como cenário, jovens engajados e um desejo: impactar positivamente a maior cidade da região amazônica. Foi com essa ideia que a Coca-Cola Brasil, por meio da plataforma de inovação aberta Coca-Cola Open Up, realizou The Boat Challenge, um evento de inovação para empreendedores sociais de Manaus em prol do desenvolvimento socioeconômico da região. Entre os dias 28 e 30 de junho, a bordo de um navio saindo do Festival Folclórico de Parintins e subindo o Rio Amazonas rumo à capital, pessoas com potencial transformador desenharam soluções para a cidade. Os temas para o desafio foram Educação, Meio Ambiente, Geração de Emprego e Renda, Saúde e Segurança.

Dentro do navio, os empreendedores contaram com o apoio de um time de mentores formado por especialistas nas mais diversas áreas. Os projetos foram avaliados por uma banca de jurados com representantes do Governo, Academia, Setor Privado e ONGs. Além do seed money (capital primário sem necessidade de contrapartida ou reembolso), o projeto vencedor foi incubado pelo Impact Hub – rede global de pessoas empreendedoras que se conectam para gerar impacto social.  Outros quatro projetos também receberam a mesma incubação.

Sobre a Coca-Cola Brasil

O Sistema Coca-Cola Brasil é o maior produtor de bebidas não alcoólicas do país e atua em cinco segmentos – águas, chás, refrigerantes, bebidas de frutas e bebidas esportivas – com uma linha de mais de 125 produtos, entre sabores regulares e versões de baixa caloria. Composto por 10 grupos fabricantes, o Sistema emprega diretamente 66 mil funcionários, gerando cerca de 600 mil empregos indiretos. Em 2015, o total investido na operação no Brasil será de R$ 2,7 bilhões, reforçando a continuidade do compromisso da Coca-Cola Brasil com o país: entre 2012 e 2016, terão sido investidos R$ 14,1 bilhões, valor 50% superior ao dos cinco anos anteriores. O Sistema Coca-Cola Brasil está empenhado em incentivar iniciativas que apoiem um estilo de vida ativo e saudável e que melhorem o desenvolvimento econômico e social das comunidades em que opera. Para isso, conta com uma plataforma de valor compartilhado, o Coletivo Coca-Cola, que promove oportunidades econômicas para moradores de comunidades de baixa renda, em parceria com instituições locais, oferecendo treinamento técnico, fortalecimento comunitário e acesso ao mercado de trabalho. O Coletivo já impactou a vida de mais de 100 mil pessoas, especialmente jovens.
