As one of the four BRIC countries, Brazil is a major economy and set to attract even more interest through hosting the 2016 Olympic Games. It is the fifth-largest country in the world, with a growing middle class and ambitious plans for infrastructure projects. Brazil thus offers enormous market potential – especially for the export-oriented German economy. Many German companies have been operating in Brazil for decades, with São Paulo alone being home to some 900 German-Brazilian companies.

Doing business in Brazil involves dealing with a very different legal and cultural environment. The distinctive administrative procedures, business practices and mentality also need to be considered.
