The SET Innovation Zone (SIZ) is a program for fostering Innovation and new technologies. The initiative is a permanent one, open to society, and aims to produce content, professional refresher courses and encourage entrepreneurship in the Brazilian audiovisual production chain, primarily the new businesses referred to as start-ups.
SIZ consists of several actions, the main one being the SETup Challenge at which start-up companies dedicated to the audiovisual sector compete with each other for the chance to receive complete guidance from SET/Sebrae and to participate at the SET EXPO Trade Show, where they will be in contact with potential buyers and clients.
This page provides information in the form of a catalog about the current and previous attendees at the SETup Challenge.
Besides this information, the SIZ also produces news and texts about technological innovation in audiovisual.

Além dessas informações, o SIZ também produz notícias e textos sobre inovação tecnológica no audiovisual.

Objetives of the program

The SIZ is the link between the start-up ecosystem and content production and distribution companies.
The purpose is to create an environment that enables the exchange of experiences, the creation of business and encourages start-up companies that develop solutions in innovation.

SETup Challenge

The SETup Challenge consists of an international competition of demonstrations (Demo Day) of disruptive solutions for the future of content production and distribution.

The challenge takes place during SET EXPO and its main objectives are:

• To map start-ups that create technology for stimulating audience interaction and engagement in immersive and multimedia environments;
• To reduce the distance between the start-ups and the key CIOs in Latin America;
• To maintain an open platform for innovation for the entire content transmission and production market.

To be successful, these solutions must surprise the experience of the user by employing:

• Virtual Reality (VR)Augmented Reality (AR)
• The Internet of Things (IoT)
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Digital content creation and management
• Man-machine interaction
