Why BRAZIL ?

The Gateway to Latin America

Brazil stands out globally as one of the most promising and dynamic technology markets, offering fertile ground for the innovation and expansion of European companies. The country represents Latin America’s largest economy, with a population of over 215 million people and a vast consumer market that is rapidly digitising.

  • 📱 Digital Adoption – Over 80% of Brazilians are internet users, with one of the highest rates of mobile banking and digital payments adoption worldwide.

  • 💰 Investment Hub – Brazil concentrates over 70% of all venture capital invested in Latin America. São Paulo is the financial and innovation capital of the region.

  • 🏢 Corporate Innovation – Large Brazilian corporates actively engage in open innovation, working with startups and scale-ups to accelerate transformation.

  • 🌱 Sector Diversity – From fintech and agritech to healthtech, retailtech and sustainability, Brazil has thriving ecosystems in multiple verticals.

  • 🌍 Regional Gateway – Companies entering Brazil gain a competitive edge to expand further into Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.

  • 🌎 Geopolitical Advantage – Amid shifting global dynamics and increased competition between the US, Europe, and Asia, Brazil is emerging as a strategic destination for foreign investment. Its stable democratic institutions, abundant natural resources, and growing consumer market make it a reliable partner, while current US-China tensions are pushing investors to diversify and expand in Brazil as a gateway to Latin America.
