Collaboration as Core Strategy

We believe that knowledge is better developed in a trust-based collaborative environment. Collaboration is a key element in GranBio’s technology strategy.

Since its foundation GranBio promotes intensive exchange with universities, research institutes, scientists and other companies to develop and complement its technologies.

The first ideas about GranBio’s business plan were born in a cafeteria of Unicamp University in 2011. Unicamp is one of the most innovative institutions in Brazil, with which GranBio regularly collaborates on research and social projects.
