FAPESP Innovative Research in Small Business (PIPE) aims to support scientific and technological research, carried out in startups and small innovative companies in the State of São Paulo. The projects are carried out under the responsibility of investigators who have an employment contract with those companies or are associated with them for research development. The selection is through a peer-reviewing system. Phase 1 is used to verify the technical and scientific feasibility of the proposal, lasting up to 9 months.

The Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is an insect from the order Hemiptera that feeds on plant sap, with more than 900 plant species that can serve as its hosts. Moreover, B. tabaci can act as a vector for the transmission of viruses and other diseases. For these reasons, it is considered the second most damaging pest in global agriculture. Brazil presents some of the most favorable environmenta…
The blue economy, which proposes the sustainable use of marine resources to promote economic growth and environmental conservation, represents a strategic opportunity for Brazil. Within this context, mariculture emerges as a promising alternative for the development of coastal regions. The true grouper (Epinephelus marginatus), a species of high economic and ecological value, is native to…
The low adherence of the Brazilian population to the separation of recyclable materials at home is a significant challenge for sustainable waste management in the country. Data from the Brazilian Association of Public Cleaning and Special Waste Companies (Abrelpe) indicate that only 4% of urban solid waste with recyclable potential is actually recycled in Brazil, a rate lower than the ave…
This project aims to develop a proof of concept (PoC) of a smart vibration sensor for predictive maintenance in industrial machinery, featuring embedded analysis capabilities, adaptive communication, and optimized energy consumption. The research is guided by the following question: is it possible to perform fault detection with sensitivity adjusted to different operating regimes directly…
Interest in phage therapy has seen a resurgence this century due to the increasing spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, for phage therapy to be applied effectively and safely, it is essential to select, from among thousands of options, phages with high specificity to the target pathogens. If performed through laboratory testing, the process proves complex and time-consuming. T…
