Rainforest
Social Business School
Get to know the RSBS / UEA
The Rainforest Social Business School - RSBS/UEA emerges as a collective and synergistic effort focused on implementing businesses that ensure economic development, inclusion and social equity as market opportunities for products and services from tropical rainforests while respecting the inherent synergy of their ecosystems and societies
About Us
In this century, bioeconomy is pointed out as the vanguard economy and biodiversity is an essential pillar in this process. In this scenario, the Amazon has been pointed out as one of the most powerful bio-economic frontiers. With significant growth of public policies focused on strengthening/boosting bioeconomy in the Amazon rainforest, the interaction between educational institutions, the productive sector, the government and organized civil society institutions is essential in this process.
The time has come to enhance the opportunities of this economic model in the Amazon through processes that include the training of human resources for the adoption of new technologies, which use and benefit from natural assets in a variety of industries - from pharmaceuticals to energy, food, cosmetics, materials, welfare and mobility. The business of the rainforests should generate entrepreneurship led by local societies. However, the economic model is not yet in place.

The business of the rainforests should generate entrepreneurship led by local societies. In May 2019, considering the urge for local entrepreneurship, UEA established contact with the Institute of Advanced Studies - IEA/USP, raising the possibility of implementing a process of collaborative training that enhances the emergence of businesses of this nature
Following numerous meetings, UEA hosted the "Seminar of Bioeconomy and Sociobiodiversity in the Amazon" in November. The event was organized by GREEN RIO and promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), with support from GIZ /Project Green Markets and Sustainable Consumption, and WWF. During the meeting it was established the commitment of several institutions to establish a business school in the Amazon – The Rainforest Social Business School - RSBS/UEA.
The RSBS holds an innovative process of training human resources, using participatory methodologies, experiences and challenges inherent to situations of business management in a perspective of building knowledge and meaning that holds the Amazon in its economic vocation and establishes a horizon for new businesses or even the expansion and adaptation of those already existing
