Brazil Security Situation
•
The traditional safety and security risks in Brazil:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
•
High murder rates close to 50 000 homicides in 2013
Robbery and personal safety issues
Lack of key enabling support tools (vehicles and command and control systems)
Corruption and quality of policing
Legal systems – 5% of murders only are resolved
Lack of training for Police and multiple types of police forces
Poor quality private sector security providers
(SEE HOTSPOTS SLIDE)
Opportunities:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
16% per year growth in security demands and 2016 a key driver (20.6% grow for security devices)
Oil and gas etc will continue to see this increase and city modernisation
North East Brazil booming in an area of the most violence
Shortage of core competences: Cyber, Crowd Movement, training, niche technologies etc
UK expertise is in demand post London 2012 but a hotbed for other nationalities also who want to enter the
market
Foreign companies are being encouraged to grow a business in Brazil (change of the law)
Some of the most obvious customers may be your routine customers who will visit and need your support
Lessons from 2014 will inform 2016 needs – need to prepare to act now

Tips for Getting Established in Brazil
•
•
•
Be prepared! Sounds obvious but………… We are here to advise you.
Prior to a visit, work out who you want to see, why and what are you offering and why.
You will need a partner but this is full of risks so due diligence, reputation / background
checks are essential and the same for key staff members
• Competitive intelligence to assess competitors needed – including international companies
• Local market contact and connections also essential and we have a network there.
• Watch co responsibility in Brazil and their and UK anti corruption act.
• Site surveys for hotels and offices a service which you may wish to use if you want a
permanent local presence.
Key Messages:
1. Preparation
2. Caution
3. Seek the right support in country and from here in UK
4. Be proactive but be prepared for a sustained campaign to get this right
5. Come and see us in Waterloo to discuss how to get you moving in Brazil
