Brazilian Brazilian Ocial Guide on Investment Opportunities Ocial Guide on Investment Opportunities MINISTRY OF MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY, FOREIGN EXTERNAL RELATIONS TRADE AND SERVICES Brazilian Official Guide On Investment Opportunities Foreword Brazil is focusing on a new cycle of sustainable growth, based on an extensive adjustment process and the adoption of measures to improve competitiveness and productivity. The launching of the fifth edition of the Brazilian Official Guide on Investment Opportunities is aimed to support this new cycle of growth by identifying investment opportunities across the country. The guide presents trustworthy, systematized and high level information to both foreign and domestic investors about specific projects. It provides direct contact information for each project, which fosters transparent relations between public and private entities Brazil offers a safe and outstanding investment environment, full of business opportunities. In the past years, the country´s demand for infrastructure services has increased significantly. The Federal government is promoting the modernization of its infrastructure with concessions, private financing and the participation of banks and investment funds. The expansion and improvement of infrastructure services will increase the competitiveness of the economy. It will also reduce logistics costs for industries, expand exports and promote efficiency in the flow of agricultural production and address the growth of national and international logistics demand. This new version of the Brazilian Official Guide on Investment Opportunities contains 149 projects in state and federal levels, totaling more than US$ 47 billion in projects to be carried out in the near future. There are opportunities in various sectors such as energy, highways, railways, ports, airports, telecommunications, generation and transmission of energy, urban mobility, construction, tourism and many others. In the past years, Brazil has consolidated its position as a strong and attractive global player with a high degree of economic diversification. The country is currently the seventh largest economy in the world. With a privileged location in the east-central part of South America, it borders almost all other South American countries. This allows companies to easily access Latin American and African markets. A stable financial system, tradition of respect for contracts and huge domestic market make Brazil a safe place for investment. As an example, the country is currently the eighth biggest FDI destination in the world in 2015 according to UNCTAD. The organization of this Guide was implemented by the Brazilian Investment Information Network (RENAI), part of the Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (MDIC), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), the Brazilian Service of Support for Micro and Small Enterprises (SEBRAE) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (APEX-Brasil). The preparation of this Guide also had valuable support and guidance of several Federal partners as well as state and local Secretariats of all Brazilian regions. It is worth highlighting the participation of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the Ministry of Planning, Development and Management, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Transportation, Ports and Civil Aviation, the National Land Transportation Agency, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency, the National Agency on Telecommunications and the National Council of State Secretaries of Development, Industry and Trade, among others. 3 Index Projects by Sector 189 Why Brazil? 7 Investment Opportunities at State and Local Levels 77 Acre 80 Useful Links 202 Investor Support Institutions 13 Alagoas 82 Contact Info 203 Amapa 85 Amazonas 86 RENAI | Brazilian Investment Bahia 88 Information Network 15 Ceará 92 Espírito Santo 98 MRE | Ministry of External Relations 16 Federal District 104 Goiás 106 APEX-BRASIL | Brazilian Trade and Maranhão 111 Investment Promotion Agency 17 Mato Grosso 120 Mato Grosso do Sul 124 Minas Gerais 126 Investment Opportunities at Federal Level 19 Para 127 Paraiba 131 Generation and Transmission of Electrical Power 20 Parana 135 Telecommunications 31 Pernambuco 140 Logistics and Transportation 34 Piaui 149 • Highways 34 Rio de Janeiro 152 • Ports 37 Rio Grande do Norte 158 • Airports 38 Rio Grande do Sul 161 • Railways 42 Rondonia 162 • Financing 45 Roraima 164 Transport and Logistics / Public Ports 46 Santa Catarina 166 Transport and Logistics / Highways 61 Sao Paulo 168 Transport and Logistics / Railways 69 Sergipe 181 Transport and Logistics / Airports 71 Tocantins 183 Export Processing Zones – EPZ 74 4 5 Why Brazil? In the past years, Brazil has consolidated its position as a strong and attractive global player with a high degree of economic diversification and is currently the seventh largest economy in the world. The country is a vigorous democracy, with free multiparty elections and strong institutions. The economic development of the past years resulted in an expanded mass consumer market and increased social equality, an environment of institutional stability and increased social cohesion. Nearly 40 million Brazilians experienced significant improvements in their life conditions. In addition, Brazil has a large and fast growing consumer market, comprising 205 million people (IBGE). Its democratic government, stable financial system and huge domestic market make Brazil a safe place for investment and gives it the strength to weather international crises. The increase of purchasing power and the investment opportunities in sectors like oil and natural gas, generation and transmission of electrical power, real estate and agribusiness places Brazil as an attractive choice on investment. The country is currently the sixth biggest FDI recipient in the world (UNCTAD). It has a privileged location in the east-central part of South America, where it borders almost all other South American countries, allowing companies to easily access Latin American and African markets. Modern, efficient and competitive, the Brazilian agribusiness sector is a prosperous, safe and profitable activity. The strength of Brazilian agribusiness is a result of scientific and technological development in modernizing farming and expanding the industry of agricultural machinery and equipment. The science and technology agenda encourages research in areas that are strategic for economic development, such as energy, aviation and agribusiness, as well as, IT and biotechnology. Some of the Country’s main competitive advantages are: » Leading regional economy » Solid investment framework » Huge domestic market » Global player » Innovative hotbed » Major infrastructure projects » Energy and Agricultural powerhouse » Gateway to Latin America » Biggest and most diversified science, technology and innovation system of Latin America » One of the largest producers and exporters of agricultural products » Competitive differential in the sector of aircraft building » Competitive differential in the sector of oil exploration in depth water and large offshore oil fields. 1 Source: Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics -IBGE. 7 The country is also actively working to face the challenges imposed by shocks that affected its economy in recent years, International Reserves (US$ billion) such as monitored prices, hydropower resources constraints, exchange rate, among others.

Freire Carlos Roberto Paiva Cláudia Camila F. de Oliveira Gabriela Cristina Fernandes Roque Lara Bueno Chiarelli Legaspe Leonardo F. R, Moraes Márcio José dos Santos Marcos Roberto dos Santos Maria Helena de Arruda Leme Priscila Saviolo Moreira Maio/2018 2 Apresentação A biodiversidade e a qualidade ambiental são importantes componentes dos atrativos turísticos, atraindo visitantes para áreas prioritárias para a conservação da biodiversidade. Contudo, o turismo sem o devido ordenamento pode ser uma ameaça para estes atrativos, uma vez que a presença humana em áreas naturais causa impactos negativos ao ambiente. A definição da capacidade de suporte é um instrumento de planejamento que, em conjunto com outras ações, contribui para mitigar os impactos negativos causados pela visitação. Os estudos voltados para o estabelecimento de capacidade de suporte visam estimar e indicar, em termos quantitativos, o nível máximo permitido de exploração em um sistema de modo a não causar sua degradação. Entre as metodologias frequentemente utilizadas para a mensuração da capacidade de suporte, destacamos a desenvolvida por Cifuentes para a Fundação Neotrópica da Costa Rica. O município de Ubatuba, Litoral Norte do Estado de São Paulo, possui diversas praias e ilhas que recebem enormes quantidades de turistas anualmente. A Ilha das Couves, importante atrativo turístico do município, tem recebido um enorme número de visitantes, principalmente na alta temporada e feriados. Sem limite

    Relatório Social Infraero | 2004 Infraero Social Report 1 MENSAGEM DO PRESIDENTE Infraero atingiu, em 2004, sua meta social de desenvolver A pelo menos um projeto em todos os aeroportos que adminis- tra, um marco histórico para a empresa que registramos neste relatório. São 67 ações que atendem a mais de 21 mil pessoas em todo o Brasil. Números inexpressivos em relação ao que gostarí- amos de fazer e às necessidades do país, mas bastante relevantes ao refletirem o engajamento dos funcionários da empresa, aos quais gostaria de agradecer e dedicar este feito. Por trás de cada ação, há a atuação obstinada de funcionários da Infraero, que se dispõem a estender suas jornadas de trabalho num terceiro expediente, em sábados e domingos para ajudar pessoas que sequer conhecem. Abstêm-se do convívio com as suas famílias para se dedicarem a outras, cujas vidas de priva- ção acompanham da janela do escritório sem nunca se acostu- marem ou se conformarem. Um trabalho desinteressado, cuja única gratificação está na esperança de poder contribuir para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. Esta é a principal semente do Programa Infraero Social, desen- volver a solidariedade e fomentar o inconformismo com qual- quer tipo de pobreza e desigualdade. É mostrar que a Infraero não é feita apenas de concreto. É feita de pessoas e, principal- mente, de corações. Carlos Wilson Campos MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT nfraero achieved, in 2004, its social goal of developing at Ileast one project in all the airports that it manages, a historic landmark for the company that we record in this report.

    Page 1 of 5 Interview: Civil Aviation Minister Wellington Moreira Franco

    Interview: Civil Aviation Minister Wellington Moreira Franco --“I am certain our airports will be ready to handle the World Cup.”— Brazil’s airports will be ready for the soccer World Cup, to be hosted in 12 Brazilian cities starting June 12, but not in accordance with every detail of the government’s original plan for the event. At least one airport will be serviced by temporary facilities. Another will have a contingency plan in place in the wake of a recent power blackout. Longer term, Brazil’s government needs to speed up work on expansion and technical upgrades at some of its airports while simultaneously moving ahead with an ambitious program of private concession auctions. These were the messages from Civil Aviation Minister Wellington Moreira Franco at a recent meeting with investors and reporters. Excerpts follow: • On preparations for the soccer World Cup: “I am certain our airports will be ready to handle the World Cup. I’m confident we won’t have another blackout at Rio’s airport, like the one on April 18, during the World Cup. There’s no risk of blackouts at other Brazilian airports.” • On the blackout at Rio de Janeiro’s international airport: “The airport administration blames the electric company and the electric company blames the airport administration for the blackout. I’m going to make sure there are no more misunderstandings of this nature. Together, the airport administration and the electric company are going to iron out a contingency plan. It’s not that difficult. We’re not going to tolerate another blackout.” • On construction delays at Fortaleza’s airport: “Work (to expand capacity) at the Fortaleza airport is far behind schedule.

Museu do Amanhã A MUSEUM FOR RIO AND ITS NEW AGE Everyone who lands at a port – any port – has the awareness, if not the vision, that a future is about to unfold. They sense that this future is not something distant in time and abstract: it begins now, always at the moment in which one’s feet, previously on the deck of a ship, in the uncertainty (and infinite possibilities) of the sea, touch the well-trodden stones of the quay, as in a famous samba song. For many of the men and women who have arrived at the Port of Rio de Janeiro over time, the future and its possibilities often seemed uncertain. However, despite the inevitably One of the greatest legacies of the revitalization unpromising setting, it was these men and of Rio’s port region is certainly the opportunity women who to a large extent built the city of to reexamine this history.

Can we just leave now?” “I think so...” came the reply. I was asking two Mormon missionaries just outside the customs inspection in the São Paulo International Airport, engaging in what would be my final conversation with Americans for eight weeks. I had just gotten off the plane after a sleepless night and felt tired, excited, and very confused at the same time as I just passed inspection. From what my parents and other sources told me, long lines and intensive baggage verification was routine; however, I was able to pass through in about a minute without a second glance. “But isn't Customs supposed to be a bit more careful and need to inspect my luggage?” I asked the missionaries again. One of the missionaries put his hand on chin in the thinker pose. “hmmm... you're right.” He said thoughtfully, “But after all, this is Brazil...” This is Brazil... all of the sudden it hit me. For the next two months, this was home. Unlike home though, I did not have the slightest idea what or who I would find in this place. I immediately had second thoughts. What am I doing in this country? I had an internship here in an unknown lab, but I didn't have any lab experience or communication skills in a different language.
