About the Business Culture in Minas Gerais and Brazil

Brazil is a land with vast industrial, consumer and financial markets, which are being discovered by more and more foreign companies and investors every day. So sooner or later, the time comes for executives to visit this nation of almost 180 million people and larger than the continental U.S.

Brazil is a unique blend of immigrants from mainly European cultures, and a strong economic influence of European business. Brazil is already one of the world's largest exporters of mineral and agricultural products, and is expanding its manufacturing base at a fast rate.

In the economic and business world, Brazil is a mixture of international presence and nationalism, rewarding foreign investors who have long-term outlooks and whose activities benefit the local population. Some 30% of the largest 500 private companies are of foreign control, although Brazilian nationals share top management duties in the vast majority of those firms.

The mentality both private and in business varies very much from U.S. and Central European habits. We will be able to prepare you accordingly.


The USA - Europe - Brazil Trade Council is dedicated to work with you and good preparation will be conducted.
