Why Brazil?
Growth Market Brazil: Profit now from the EU-Mercosur Agreement
Brazil is the industrial engine of South America. With the EU-Mercosur agreement, one of the world's largest free trade zones is emerging.
A historic window of opportunity for German SMEs: Tariffs are falling, bureaucracy is being reduced, and access to public contracts is becoming possible for the first time.
Use the "Made in Germany" competitive advantage in a market that is opening up anew.
5 Reasons for your entry:
The "Mercosur Effect": The agreement eliminates tariffs for 91% of EU exports (including machinery, automotive parts, pharmaceuticals). Your products will become significantly cheaper in Brazil and thus more competitive against Asian rivals.
Enormous demand for German technology: Brazil is modernizing its industry. Today, 39% of imports are already machinery, industrial goods, and chemicals—exactly the strengths of the German Mittelstand.
Ideal for SMEs: Brazil is not just a market for large corporations. 74% of German exports to the region already come from small and medium-sized enterprises. Specialized niche providers are sought after.
Access to government contracts & 260M customers: The agreement opens Brazilian government contracts to EU firms on an equal footing with local providers for the first time. You are tapping into a networked internal market of 260 million people.
Stable growth & Trust: With over 3% economic growth and an export volume of €13 billion, Germany is already the third-largest trading partner. The market trusts your quality.

Today, we accompany companies with the same spirit on their path into new markets. We are convinced: Sustainable growth arises where well-founded strategy, cultural understanding, and the courage to act come together.
Our vision is to build bridges between economic areas and promote development where the spirit of discovery meets expertise.
