The head of the International Advisory Department of the Ministry of Cities, ambassador Antonio da Costa e Silva, highlighted the relevance of dialogue with companies that already operate in Brazil and that develop technologies applicable to the departments areas of interest.
These meetings with the business community that represents New Zealands interests here were important, in the context of the New Zealand ministers visit to Brasilia. Many of these companies are already established in Brazil and work on relevant topics such as the industrialization of construction, he stated. This conversation could be very useful for the Ministry to better understand this business environment and assess how these companies can integrate with the priorities and long-term objectives of Brazilian urban policy.
