Brazilian companies reached such a level of competitiveness that recognition stretches beyond Brazilian borders. The goods manufactured and the services rendered by Brazilian companies have gained more and more international respect.

With this, the international insertion of these companies contributes to global development, encouraging the transaction between countries and establishing important trade partnerships. The presence of Brazilian organizations abroad also contributes to the competition on the domestic market and fosters the repositioning of other companies on the world scenario. Generating capital and jobs is reaching a global scale.

The BNDES, as the main promoter of development, has a specific line for internationalizing Brazilian companies. The purpose is to encourage the insertion and the strengthening of companies in the international market by supporting investments or projects to be carried out overseas.

In addition to the financial support for exports of Brazilian products, the BNDES assists in the international insertion of companies by identifying opportunities and guiding the structuring of organizations’ projects outside Brazil.

How support is offered

The BNDES supports the internationalization of companies by financing or raising the capital of companies, through the subscription of bonds and securities.

Companies constituted with Brazilian capital may be beneficiaries, must develop industrial activities or engineering services, and should have a long-term internationalization strategy. In addition, the Bank assesses the company’s insertion potential in the international market.

The following are eligible for financial support:

• Investments to construct new plants, branches, etc.;
• Investments to acquire, increase or modernize installed plants, branches etc.;
• Acquisition of corporate interest, always complementary to exporting;
• Need for working capital, defined in the analysis of the operation, provided that it is associated to the investments above.

In the event of financing, the maximum support percentage is 60% of the investment.
