The Adaptive Foundation Latin America launch in São Paulo

Latin America

Adaptive in Latin America.

Across Latin America, Adaptives are building relationships among executives, universities, entrepreneurs and institutions.

Brazil is currently the center of that activity, with growing work in São Paulo, Belém and around questions connected to the Amazon.

Why Latin America

Talent does not need to be imported.

Latin America has strong universities, companies, entrepreneurs, researchers and leaders.

Adaptive's role is not to arrive with answers. It is to connect people who are already building in the region with additional relationships, perspectives and opportunities, while creating stronger connections among leaders inside the region itself.

Brazil

Where the work is happening now.

The current Class of the Adaptive Global Fellowship draws heavily from Brazil; Fellows connected to Brazil are building ventures across sectors, and the community's relationships stretch from São Paulo boardrooms to Amazon-region universities.

São Paulo

Community gatherings and relationships among executives, founders and institutions, beginning with the Latin America launch.

Belém and the Amazon

A growing relationship with CESUPA and the people rethinking sustainability from inside the Amazon.

Fellowship sponsorship

Fellowship places for leaders connected to Brazil, some funded by donors and sponsors.
