In Its 9th Edition, Macaé Has the Brasil Offshore Fair as the Last Line of Defense in the Fight Against the Economic Recession Looming Over the City

Macaé has undeniably always been seen as a reference in the oil and gas activities in Brazil, especially in the offshore sector. Nowadays, with the fallout from the Lava Jato operations affecting Petrobras, which in turn holds one of its main operational bases in the municipality, it is now suffering because its main source of income is at risk of disappearing. You can check the reason in the article that says that 80% of offshore activities will be transferred to the Porto do Açú.

The Brasil Offshore Fair, which will be in its 9th edition in the city from June 20 to 23, has always been a symbol of innovation and technology, and it truly is what drives and motivates companies, especially multinationals, to invest in the city, showcasing their products, negotiating partnerships with other companies and consequently, generating jobs in the sector or indirectly.

At the Avant Premiére, the pre-launch event of the fair that brought together the largest oil companies in the world, which we participated in and you can check out by clicking here, the multinationals themselves said that abroad, there is much talk about Macaé as the main goal and objective for new facilities and development, needing to overcome only a few political, regulatory, and operational challenges that Brazilian legislation imposes on them. In their opinion, the main villain for these hurdles has a very specific name: Local Content (in another article, I will explain what it is and how it affects the economy and job generation in the country).
