Direct peers

• Conselho de Desenvolvimento Econômico, Sustentável e Estratégico de Goiânia (CODESE): CODESE Goiânia is a fellow convening institution in Goiás that co-leads the Movimento Reciclar initiative with Adial. It operates in the same ESG and sustainable-development space within the same state and shares member overlap.
• Federação das Indústrias do Estado de Goiás (FIEG): FIEG is the official state industry federation for Goiás and the closest peer to Adial, serving overlapping members (industrial enterprises in the same 220+ municipalities) and co-attending Adial events. Both bodies focus on industrial advocacy, ESG, and training; FIEG brings the mandatory union-contribution base while Adial contributes convening power and ESG expertise.
• All India Association of Industries (AIAI): AIAI is the Indian counterpart explicitly partnered with Adial during the February 2025 trade mission, hosting the 250-attendee event at the World Trade Center Mumbai. Both are membership-based industrial development associations focused on trade promotion, investment attraction, and policy advocacy.

Others

• Hub Cerrado: Hub Cerrado is an innovation hub in Goiânia that co-organizes the Cerrado Innovation Summit with Adial. It is adjacent rather than directly competitive, providing the startup and investor network that complements Adial's industrial base.
• Pacto Global da ONU - Rede Brasil: UN Global Compact's Brazilian network is the platform Adial joined and serves as Multiplier for. It enables ESG training and certification across member companies and is a key strategic partner whose expanding requirements shape Adial's ESG agenda.
