BRDE, Regional Development Bank for the High South, has signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement with business associations Criciúma and Içara. The document, which authorizes and has a banking specialist to assist entrepreneurs in the association, will become a tool for bringing the institution closer to entrepreneurs. That being said, those who are interested in receiving funding from the BRDE and who have doubts about how the application procedure works can, through ACIC, in Criciúma or ACII, in Içara, schedule a meeting with banking specialists who will travel south to make calls .

City halls can also request resources from an institution with the BRDE municipalities program, which funds urban mobility, sanitation, public administration, sustainable projects, among others.

“We acquired BRDE with the aim of passing information from the bank to more people. The south of the state is one of the regions of Santa Catarina with huge development potential, and we can serve as a driving force. Therefore, we provide a technical specialist to answer questions, provide information and assist in the order registration process,” explains CFO Eduardo Piño Moreira.

“The idea is to bring BRDE closer to businessmen and entrepreneurs and to promote more and more development. We already have similar partnerships in other regions of the state that bring together the interest of the class to develop their activities with the support of BRDE,” said Marcelo Hendchen Dutra, vice president and director of monitoring and recovery of loans.

ACIC President Valcir José Zanett considers partnerships to be the foundation of economic development. “Partnership with BRDE is of fundamental importance, providing members with information about funding opportunities and opportunities and lines of credit, bringing the bank closer to investors. The premise of Associação Empresarial de Criciúma as well as BRDE is to promote economic development, and we are confident that with this approach to entrepreneurs, new businesses will be created, improvements will be encouraged in companies, contributing to competitiveness, employment and income for society,” says Zanette.

According to ACII President Tatiana Pavey da Silva, the action will contribute to the development of entrepreneurship in the city. “This partnership with BRDE will enable entrepreneurs to gain critical information for resources. With this access to credit, it will in turn be possible to develop new businesses and promote existing activities, which can expand the market in which it operates and expand local economic activity. This is a great incentive for innovation. As a business association, we will increasingly create an environment for bringing together opportunities,” he notes.
