Partnership Focuses on Better Insertion of the Country in the Southeast Asian Market
The partnership will include the implementation of a cross-border pilot project aimed at Brazilian companies interested in exporting to Singapore, in Southeast Asia. In this project, up to 10 companies with export potential will be selected, and the export process will begin in the second half of 2023.
The focus is to map the main difficulties in selling Brazilian products in the region and identify the best business opportunities through e-commerce, aiming to facilitate the access of Brazilian goods to Singapore and expand the number of companies served.
Jorge Viana, president of ApexBrasil, emphasizes the importance of this partnership for a better insertion of the country in the global e-commerce market, especially in Southeast Asia, which has shown high growth potential in recent years.
ApexBrasil aims to qualify companies in the country and expand their competitiveness to increase their presence abroad, and the partnership with Shopee and Correios is an important step in this direction. Felipe Lima, responsible for Business Development at Shopee, believes that this unprecedented partnership will bring great opportunities for Brazilian entrepreneurs to expand their businesses internationally.
The company already has experience in transforming sellers into success stories, and with this collaboration, Brazilian entrepreneurs will be able to take advantage of the promising Southeast Asian market.
