In its role as the Partner Country at CeBIT 2012 Brasil will underline its credentials as a leading ICT nation with strong growth potential and innovative capabilities.

The nation with South America’s strongest economy will be the CeBIT partner country for 2012. In their various pavilions, Brazilian companies and state institutions will highlight all aspects of their attractive economy.

Brazil’s IT sector stands out as much for its flexibility as its firepower. This high-tech country is mainly impressive for its innovative power, service orientation and its enormous potential market: the Eito market research institute predicts 6% growth to €92 billion in its ICT market in 2012. Brazil is considered one of the world’s fastest-growing economies overall. 

Brazil is not just an economic engine. It is a market with a future as well. The seventh largest economy in the world boasts a high gross domestic product; rising income and state investments promote an interest in high-quality ICT solutions. Infrastructure programs such as the expansion of broadband into the countryside are strengthening demand and driving the formation of high-tech companies. 

Brazil is already one of the leading players in IT business-process outsourcing. Experts expect more growth in this segment. Besides the government commitment, it benefits from a growing number of qualified specialists.
