Trade and Investment Promotion Section (SECOM)
Given the volume of trading and investments between Brazil and the United States, the Chicago Trade and Investment Promotion Section (Secom-Chicago) aims to boost the economic activities between these two countries. The section is qualified to support American companies interested in investing or importing from Brazil and Brazilian companies that intend to export their products and services to the American Midwest market.
Among other activities, the Secom-Chicago performs market research, organizes trade missions, assists Brazilian entrepreneurs visiting the United States for market prospecting, and assists American entrepreneurs intending to invest or import from Brazil.

"Plataforma Brasil Exportação" BRAEXP
The Brasil Exportação Platform is a free-to-access digital community that integrates all steps for a Brazilian company in the export process. BRAEXP was designed to simplify and democratize access to exports and will revolutionize the way Brazilian exporters operate by quickly and easily connecting companies to foreign trade support service providers.
Economic Scene of the Midwestern States of the United States
The Consulate General of Brazil in Chicago, in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Agência Brasileira de Promoção de Exportações e Investimentos - Apex-Brasil) and the American Chamber of Commerce (Câmara Americana de Comércio - AMCHAM Brasil), carried out a series of studies on the ten states of the Midwest of the USA covered by this consulate, intending to present an overview of the market and opportunities in the region.
Far more than a descriptive document, the publication presents the economic scene of the local economy of each state with clarifications on relevant topics for the internationalization of Brazilian companies. This global expansion can be done through the exportation of goods and services, through the establishment of business branches, or through the consolidation of partnerships to attract investments.
