Investe São Paulo São Paulo's Agency for the Promotion of Investments and
Competitiveness advises companies that wish to establish in São Paulo and also
stimulates the expansion of existing enterprises in the State. In this publication, the
Agency shows the investment opportunities in São Paulo, providing guidance to
companies on the necessary steps to ensure success in business in the largest consumer
market of Latin America. São Paulo's leadership and its dynamism are due to the
virtuous combination of a group of factors: highly qualified workforce; world-class
infrastructure; support to research, development and technological innovation; in
addition to a chain of suppliers operating in all sectors. These are the ingredients,
together with a multicultural receptivity, that give an excellent competitive advantage
to the State. Investe São Paulo's partnership with Amcham aims at showing the
vocation and competencies of the largest Brazilian State, which is one of the main
investment destinations in Latin America.
Luciano Almeida, President - Investe São Paulo
The American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil, being the largest Amcham outside the
United States, is constantly serving its members by building bridges for Brazilian
businesses worldwide. Our foreign investment attraction efforts have also been a key
leading point for Amcham. The How To Series is part of this initiative, with the support
of some of our corporate members we are putting together strategic information on the
most various aspects of doing business in Brazil. Over the last year the Brazilian
economy has clearly demonstrated an outstanding economic performance. The
country's business environment as well as foreign investment numbers are also very
positive. The International Monetary Fund estimates that crisis apart, the Brazilian
economy should grow on a 3.8% basis. The 2014 FIFA World Cup has been estimated
in USD 56.8 billion and the 2016 Olympics USD 19.3 billion in investments. These
events have had an impact on direct investments in the country and in infrastructure
projects needed to hold these events in Brazil. It is now, more than ever, a strategic time
for businesses opportunities in Brazil. We welcome you and hope that the information
you are about to read serves you best.
