Why Companies Should Connect with Local Governments to Internationalize


Brazilian companies aiming to reach new markets increasingly see local governments as strategic allies. In a globalized and competitive world, internationalization requires more than business acumen: it requires access to institutional networks, public incentives, logistical infrastructure, and regulatory support. This is where partnerships with states and municipalities become crucial in unlocking access to international markets.

Internationalizing Smartly: The Role of Local Governments

By establishing partnerships with public entities, companies gain access to resources and tools that facilitate their entry into new markets. This includes everything from inclusion in incentive programs to exports, facilitated access to industrial zones with strategic infrastructure, and the development of institutional relationships for international business rounds.

The Camaçari Industrial Complex in Bahia is emblematic: the state's port infrastructure enables the annual movement of over 6.5 million tons of cargo at the Port of Aratu, benefiting the petrochemical, logistics, and export sectors. Furthermore, the presence of foreign capital exerts positive pressure on local governance and compliance standards, as international investors demand legal certainty, regulatory stability, and transparency. This creates a more favorable environment not only for new investments but also for strengthening local public institutions.

Public environments strengthen private businesses

Local governments that promote legal certainty, tax simplification, and encourage innovation create a fertile environment for companies to thrive and expand their international operations. The presence of foreign investors in certain regions also drives compliance standards, transparency, and best practices, aspects valued in international markets.

Companies operating in sectors such as agribusiness, technology, renewable energy, logistics, and manufacturing directly benefit from operating in regions with public policies focused on internationalization.

Access to international networks: partnerships that open doors

Connecting with initiatives promoted by subnational governments, such as trade missions, export support programs, and international trade fairs, puts companies in direct contact with innovation hubs, international buyers, and potential investors.
