Fernando Yunes, Senior Vice President and Leader of Mercado Livre in Brazil, says they are excited about the progress of partnerships to help promote the economic development of the state of São Paulo, aware of the positive impact this investment will have on all of Mercado Livre’s operations in Brazil.

He also notes that the state of São Paulo is home to about 85% of Mercado Livre’s sellers in Brazil and is also where it maintains a large part of its logistics centers, in addition to its headquarters in Osasco. This commitment goes beyond financial investment, focusing on the development of the communities where they operate and supporting entrepreneurship by investing in education and professionalization, concludes the Senior Vice President and Leader of Mercado Livre in Brazil.

The Secretary of Economic Development of the state of São Paulo, Patricia Ellen, stated that this is the largest announcement made in this administration, regarding investments by a company in just one year, honoring the commitment to generate job opportunities and income for the population, supporting investors through a deregulated model, but mainly supporting entrepreneurs and workers with professional qualification and microcredit.
