Brazilian technology sector investment and labor trends

Overview

The Brazilian technology sector is experiencing a period of increased investment alongside significant labor challenges. A Grant Thornton survey of 232 chief financial officers indicates that 67% intend to increase spending on technology and digital transformation over the next 12 months, even as economic optimism reaches a five-year low.

This push for digital transformation and artificial intelligence is complicated by a substantial talent shortage. Data from Inteli and WKS shows a 30.2% deficit in tech professionals between 2019 and 2024, with demand for workers reaching 665,000 against a supply of approximately 464,000. While interest in AI is high among professionals, current hiring remains focused on software development, infrastructure, and support roles.
