Government of Ceará Negotiates Partnership with ApexBrasil to Attract Foreign Investments Focused on the Green Hydrogen Hub and the Export Processing Zone 

Aiming for the future of the regional energy market, the Government of Ceará is forming a new partnership with ApexBrasil to boost foreign investments in the coming years.

The main goal of the project is to attract new entrepreneurs to the hub of green hydrogen under development in the state, as well as new businesses for the Export Processing Zone.

The presidents of the Development Agency of the State of Ceará (Adece), Danilo Serpa, and of the ZPE, Eduardo Neves, were in a meeting on Tuesday in Brasília with the president of Apex, Jorge Viana.

Thus, the Government of the State of Ceará presented the regional wealth and the high potential for investment in the energy sector to the company.

Green Hydrogen is hydrogen obtained from renewable sources such as wind and solar energy, without carbon emissions. It is one of the major bets of the state administration for the coming years, due to the high production potential.

Furthermore, the Export Processing Zone of Ceará has been operating for over 10 years with excellence in customs activities in the region.

Thus, the agreement with ApexBrasil could elevate the state to an even higher level in the national market.

After the meeting with representatives of ApexBrasil, the president of the Development Agency of the State of Ceará (Adece), Danilo Serpa, celebrated the partnership with the company.

This is because it will not only attract investments for the green hydrogen hub and the Export Processing Zone but also give the state of Ceará its due value in the coming years.

“It was an excellent meeting and we presented the advantages of investing in Ceará, our business environment, the best conditions for export, such as the only operating ZPE in Brazil and the pioneering initiatives for the Green Hydrogen Hub in the State,” said Danilo.

He also emphasized that the president of ApexBrasil will visit the state in March 2023 to discuss the continuation of the partnership.

The project to attract foreign investments from Ceará with ApexBrasil promises to be one of the great bets of the state for the green hydrogen hub and the Export Processing Zone.
