Advantages
Santa Catarina is a leader in the human and economic development rankings in Brazil. Located in the
southern part of the country, close to the largest cities in South America, it has historically attracted
entrepreneurs from various origins. Living is good here, nature is generous and there are countless
opportunities for growth. Occupying 1% of the national territory, Santa Catarina has the 6th largest
economy among the Brazilian states, and is recognized for the strength of its diversified industrial
sector, which is composed of important production complexes that stand out in Brazil and abroad.
The highlights are agro-industry, electrical machinery, textiles and apparel manufacturing, lumber and
furniture, chemicals, ceramic floor and wall coverings, electronics, information and communications
technology and plastics production. In parallel with its industrial development, Santa Catarina also
stands out for its competencies in the primary sector and for providing services. The service sector
is highlighted by tourism and by a technological complex that is highly regarded throughout Brazil.
These competencies are combined with a population with a level of qualification above the national
average and competitive and intermodal infrastructure, including ports – the Port of Itajaí is the
second largest in Brazil in container handling – highways, railroads and airports – two international
airports – one in Florianópolis and one in Navegantes – that are among the best in Brazil. Santa
Catarina is one of the leading states in national sustainability, according to indicators developed by the
Economist Intelligence Unit, and it has the second highest HDI of the country. The population is well
distributed throughout the state, ensuring a regional balance. The state has the presence of qualified
professionals in various fields and an educational and professional training network, recognized for its
quality, is present in all regions. It has been strongly influenced by its immigrants and by its proximity
to Mercosur countries, which has created an affinity with European peoples - particularly German and
Italian cultures (because many residents are descendants of these immigrants) - and Spanish cultures
(because of the neighboring countries)
