The sectoral reading indicates that the majority of investments are concentrated in the industrial sector, with R$ 65.4 billion, equivalent to 61.6% of the total.
The published list details investments associated with oil and natural gas extraction, metallurgy, metallic minerals extraction, and specific industrial segments.
Meanwhile, investments in infrastructure that connect highways, sanitation, energy and gas, ports, and airports appear, forming the physical base for flow and services.

Among the investments by sector, oil and natural gas extraction leads with R$ 43.7 billion.
Next, metallurgy appears with R$ 7.4 billion, metallic minerals extraction with R$ 5.3 billion, food products manufacturing with R$ 1.9 billion, and the manufacturing of machinery, equipment, and electrical materials with R$ 1.0 billion.
This composition helps explain why industrial investments dominate the total: oil and gas serve as a capital-intensive axis, while metallurgy and mining complete the investment map with transformation and base projects.

How to Read the Investment Map by City and by Sector
The set of investments until 2029 allows for two complementary readings.
The first is sectoral: oil and gas lead investments and pull a significant share of the industrial volume.
The second is territorial: investments are concentrated in a few municipalities, with Serra and Presidente Kennedy at the top and a group of cities with billion-dollar amounts that account for half of the total.
For public tracking, the practical utility of this survey is to compare infrastructure investments, such as highways, sanitation, and ports, with industrial investments announced by large companies.
When both blocks move together, the State gains execution capacity and attraction for new projects.
Espírito Santo is forecasted to receive R$ 106 billion in investments by 2029, with 61.6% of the total concentrated in industry and a strong focus on oil and gas.
In the municipal breakdown, 11 cities account for 50% of the volume and position Serra and Presidente Kennedy as leaders in the investment ranking.
For readers following regional economics, the next step is to observe which investments move from announcement to execution schedule, especially in highways, sanitation, ports, and industrial projects related to oil and gas.
Which of these investments do you consider most decisive for changing the Capixaba economy by 2029: highways, sanitation, ports, or oil and gas projects?
