What is it?
The Investment Promotion and Technology Transfer System for Companies (SIPRI)
is the group of national and international “antennaes” of the Ministry of
External Relations (MRE). The SIPRI aims at attracting foreign direct
investment to Brazil and at establishing partnership between Non-Brazilian and
Brazilian companies to make possible the transfer of new technologies to
Brazil.
How does it work?
Within Brazil, distributed throughout the whole country, institutions
known as Focal Points work for the identification and dissemination of
investment opportunities originated in Brazil.
Abroad, the SIPRI operates throughout Brazilian Trade Sectors (the
so-called “SECOMs”), in Brazilian Embassies and Consulates. The Secoms
have available experts to facilitate the contact between Brazilian and local
companies, as well as to inform about the Brazilian economy and the business
environment in the country.
SIPRI is supervised by the Trade Promotion Head Office (DPR) of the Ministry of
Foreign Relations (MRE), which structured and implanted the system.
How to use SIPRI
Brazilian Entrepreneur
The first step to take is registration* of the interested company on
BrazilTradeNet.
Once registered, the company interested in receiving foreign direct investment
from abroad will be able to fill out a form confirming this interest. The
information will automatically reach the Focal Points closest to the company,
and a technician of the Focal Point will contact the company in order to
collect additional information on the investment opportunity. He will also be
in charge of sending the information collected to Non-Brazilian companies
interested in investing in Brazil.
Should you need additional help or explanations about the SIPRI, please contact
the Focal Point closest to you, or the SIPRI Technical Team.
