Overview

Various regional developments continue across Brazil, spanning legislative, educational, cultural, and economic sectors. In the educational sphere, the Instituto Federal de São Paulo (IFSP) has been recognized in the Time magazine and Statista ‘World’s Best Employers 2026’ ranking, placing 56th among 500 Brazilian organizations and 4th within the education sector. Rector Silmário Batista dos Santos stated that this recognition reinforces the institution’s commitment to valuing its people.

The IFSP is also advancing the establishment of its Jardim Ângela Campus in São Paulo through the acquisition of two new plots of land, totaling approximately 8,000 square meters, to serve the M’Boi Mirim region. Additionally, the Avaré Campus is set to host the EJA-EPT Meeting from October 20 to 22 to discuss strategies for Adult and Youth Education integrated with Professional and Technological Education. Other academic activities include a biofloc technology workshop in Foz do Iguaçu and an AI in health symposium at UFMG.

Economic and technological activities remain prominent. The FEBAN 2026 fair in Jacobina attracted 15,000 visitors and generated approximately R$ 6 million in business. In Ceará, discussions with Italy regarding sustainable energy and infrastructure continue. In Florianópolis, the technology sector accounts for 21% of the city’s GDP, with annual revenues reaching R$ 14 billion. Other regional activities include the FICCA Goiás event, the ‘Paraná em Ação’ service fair, and the debut of WEGA Motors at ExpoMar 2026.
