The Brazilian aerospace giant has unveiled an ambitious plan to expand its production, dominate new markets and invest heavily in sustainable technology. With 23.500 employees and more than 9 aircraft delivered, Embraer wants to fly even higher and lead the future of aviation.
Embraer is not messing around. During an official event in Brasília, the company dropped a bombshell: an investment of R$20 billion by 2030 to accelerate its expansion, invest in new technologies and consolidate its leadership in the aerospace sector. The announcement was made at the “Mission 6 of the New Brazilian Industry” ceremony, attended by President Lula, Vice President Alckmin and several important authorities.
But wait... where is all this money going to be invested? Basically, Embraer wants to produce more aircraft, enter new international markets and implement sustainable aviation. in the center of the game. And one of the big bets is the eVTOL, an electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle that promises to completely change urban air transport.
Growth, innovation and lots of technology in play
If there's one thing Embraer knows how to do well, it's innovate. The company's plan for the coming years involves increasing production, developing more efficient aircraft and fully investing in sustainable technology.

The eVTOL, for example, is one of the company's most revolutionary projects. Created by EVE, a subsidiary of the Embraer group, this flying vehicle could be the solution for urban air mobility – just imagine a flying taxi, silent and without polluting the environment. It sounds like science fiction, but it's happening now.
In addition, the company wants to expand its operations in strategic markets, mainly in North America, Europe and Asia. This R$20 billion investment is a crucial step to ensure that Embraer continues to be one of the world's leading aircraft manufacturers.
Partnership with the government and impact on the economy
It's not just about airplanes and technology. Embraer's investment also has a huge impact on the Brazilian economy. The project is fully aligned with the Nova Indústria Brasil program, which seeks to strengthen the country's industrial and technological sector.
And what's more: this means more jobs! Embraer has already surpassed the number of employees it had before the pandemic, and in the last two years alone, hired more than 2.500 new professionals. With this billion-dollar investment, the tendency is for this number to grow even more.
Another important point is the incentive to export Brazilian products. Embraer is already the largest exporter of high value-added goods in Brazil, and this investment can further boost the brand's presence abroad.
Leadership in the aerospace sector: how did Embraer get here?
Embraer is not a giant for nothing. Since 1969, the company has stood out for its capacity for innovation and strategic partnerships with the government, universities and the private sector. This joint effort has ensured that Brazil has become a reference in the aerospace sector.
Today, the company has 23.500 employees around the world, 18 of whom are in Brazil alone. The focus on training and talent development has been one of the pillars that has kept Embraer at the top. After all, in a highly technological and competitive sector, having a qualified team makes all the difference.
And it's not just in Brazil that the company shines. Embraer has operations in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa and has already delivered more than 9 aircraft. To give you an idea of the brand's impact, every 10 seconds, an Embraer plane takes off somewhere in the world.
