    Overview

    Over recent years, Piauí has undertaken efforts to enhance its investment environment, aiming to attract national and international capital. The state has identified key sectors—such as wind energy, green hydrogen, mining, and agribusiness—as areas for growth, leveraging its underexplored natural resources, strategic geographic positioning, and emerging consumer market. 

    Despite leading the North East of Brazil in GDP growth over the last two decades, Piauí is taking further steps to create a compelling environment for businesses to realise its investment potential. The state now boasts comprehensive programs, attractive incentives, and strategic partnerships aimed at positioning itself as an advantageous location for investment and growth. What are the most promising opportunities for corporations seeking to establish or expand their operations in Piauí? What obstacles must be overcome for Piauí to leverage these advantages? What role are businesses playing—or should they play—as drivers of economic resilience and sustainable development?

     The Financial Times and Investe Piauí exclusive half-day event that will convened experts, policy-makers and leaders from Brazil and beyond. The agenda offered a deep dive into Piauí's growth trajectory and unveil opportunities in the sectors at the heart of its economic expansion.
