The Amazon has a vast wealth of ingredients from its biodiversity that can be exploited in a diversified way to create food products. In order to guarantee the development of food that preserves the knowledge of traditional peoples and the environment, more innovative and efficient production systems are needed. In addition to collaboration between the government and companies in order to direct public policies that contribute to their valorization. We aimed to analyze the contribution of the Startup Pará Program to the promotion of socio-biodiversity foods from the Amazon. Data analysis followed a qualitative approach, focusing on the identification of trends, challenges and opportunities related to the Startup Pará program and the selected company. Pará is an important supplier of raw materials and producer of items from the Amazon's socio-biodiversity, which are very important from an economic point of view. The state is responsible for investing in and boosting innovation and entrepreneurship, guaranteeing sustainability. The Startup Pará Program provides technical support and economic subsidies to foster innovation projects in bioproducts and bio-businesses, such as Paladar Amazônico, which transforms native inputs into high value-added products. The supported project aims to improve the production process of regional foods, based on sustainability and valuing extractive communities. Foodtechs have the potential to contribute to valuing food products from Amazonian socio-biodiversity through innovation and technology and government incentive programs, such as Startup Pará, act as an important stimulus tool.
