The Accelera Hub innovation center was born from the vision of traditional entrepreneurs of the building sector in Curitiba – Paládio Group and Daher Technology a vision through which they grasped the opportunity to make a cultural change in their organizations out of innovation. This journey resulted in the bold decision to create the complex space of the Accelera Hub innovation environment at an uncertain time, in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. Said journey began with the construction and renovation of a venue conducive to organically generating business, networking and new innovative technologies, as well as an ecosystem of startups, entrepreneurs and well established companies. Located in the historic neighborhood of São Francisco, in the central region of Curitiba, Accelera provides its patrons with a dynamic and welcoming environment by breathing new life into a building that was revitalized after years of abandonment, offering an urban intersection and encouraging new ventures of innovation and creative economy in the region.
“Innovation is more powerful when we have an environment that first connects with your neighborhood, your city. The culture of innovation becomes increasingly more authentic.” — Luiz Américo Gori Camargo, CEO Accelera.
Accelera Hub’s mission is to develop and drive innovative solutions for the building, architecture, real estate and smart cities sectors, strengthening entrepreneurship and the creative economy. This work is carried out by a community of benchmark companies well known for their respective practices, highlighting their talent for developing collaborative projects altogether. Accelera positions itself as a connection platform between the supply and demand for its members and the entire system that permeates the company, and, in a targeted manner, aims to provide sophisticated solutions for innovation, driving technological evolution in an industry of considerable economic relevance in Brazil.
“The organizations that are part of Accelera are converging collaboratively to create increasingly bold and daring projects” — Felipe Nasser Daher, Founder
In order for the Accelera Hub to carry out its activities, it provides engagement between strategic resident companies and a community of collaborators via an Accelera Hub manifesto and governance pact. Through the union of the synergies of the governance and residents’ councils for the development of the community, Accelera also holds meetings, business rounds and brokerage between partners, as well as hosts events to spread knowledge, develop content and foster meaningful connections.
“Accelera managed to create a synergy by directing the construction supply chain towards innovation and creativity” — Cesar Zanchi Daher Co-Founder
