ENVIRONMENTAL SCENE
Minas Gerais has seven distinct life zones or biomes, with
great biodiversity compared to other states in Brazil. With this
incredible biodiversity, the state has the potential to develop
community-based ecotourism in each of these biomes, as
a tool to reduce poverty and protect nature, an additional
sustainable element to the state, which would become an
international model of sustainable development.

Minas Gerais boasts an educational system that starts at the
age of six, guaranteeing an extra year for children until they
reach high school. The state's educational institutions are
highlighted in the private sector, being considered one of
the best in the country.
The state also has a wide network of technical schools,
with emphasis on the Federal Center for Education and
Technology (CEFET-MG), the Education for Work Foundation
(UTRAMIG), and federal institutes in the areas of education,
science, and technology, operating at the regional level.
Regarding higher education, the state has about 300
educational institutions, being the federative entity with
the largest number of public educational institutions. The
distribution of higher education in the state, in all aspects,
whether in the number of enrollments or institutional
presence, both in the public and private spheres, remains
linked to the economic development of the regions that
comprise it. In other words, there is a good synergy between
academia and industry or the production chain in these
regions. It is worth mentioning the Universidade Federal
de Minas Gerais, which achieved 15th place in the ranking
of Latin American universities (QS Quacquarelli Symonds
University Rankings 2021) and 3rd place in the national
ranking (Times Higher Education 2021).
A unique and outstanding institution in the state is SKEMA
Business School. SKEMA is part of a very exclusive circle in
which less than one percent of world business schools have
the triple accreditation: EQUIS-AACSB-AMBA. According
to the Financial Times, in its annual ranking of master's
Courses in Management, SKEMA is ranked 6th among
French schools, 22nd in the world, and in the Top 10 overall
for the international experience offered to its students. With
global and local operations, Skema has 7 campuses located
in 5 different countries: South Africa, Brazil, China, the
United States, and France. The Brazilian campus is located
in Belo Horizonte and offers courses with an emphasis on
Global Business Management for the Brazilian public. In

Another important highlight in the State of Minas Gerais
is Dom Cabral Foundation (Fundação Dom Cabral - FDC),
considered the 9th best business school in the world
according to the Financial Times' executive education
ranking. For over 40 years, the Foundation has been
educating executives, public managers, entrepreneurs, and
organizations from different segments in several countries.
FDC offers access to modern business tools, exchange of
experiences, and joint generation of knowledge thanks to
its partnerships and cooperation agreements with several
institutions in the United States, Europe, China, India,
Russia, and Latin America.
