João Paulo Braga, CEO of Invest Minas, highlighted the importance of bringing together major market players to discuss the opportunities the state offers, especially at a time of change like the current one.
“Invest Minas is always attentive and seeks to anticipate market needs. With the imminent Tax Reform, we understand that it would be interesting to showcase all the conditions we have built throughout Governor Romeu Zema’s administration. Therefore, there’s nothing better than gathering major national and international players,” Braga stated.
With the announcement of Lightwall’s investment and the continuous attraction of new companies, Minas Gerais consolidates its position as one of the main investment destinations in Brazil.
The state, which already stands out for its capacity to attract companies from various segments, reinforces its commitment to economic development and job creation, especially in the construction sector.
