\n\tLike ghosts that haunt the economy, economic crises are cyclical. Developed and developing countries invariably pass through them, to a greater or lesser extent. What differentiates the former from the latter is the presence of solid economic structures, which allow the search for solutions even in difficult times.
\n\t 
\n\tThe strengthening of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) market \u2013 with investment in infrastructure, research and human capital \u2013 is an important way to make the country less vulnerable to the uncertain climate of the world economy. With great weight in the Brazilian and S\u00e3o Paulo economy, the sector is one of those that most attract foreign investment and generate jobs and innovation for the entire productive fabric.
\n\t 
\n\tThis is one of the reasons why S\u00e3o Paulo continues to attract investors despite the national economic downturn. In order to stand out from the competition in times of growth and crisis, these companies want to open industries, businesses and develop partnerships in the State. It is a more visionary strategy, attentive to the difficulties of the present, but aware that the best fruits are usually harvested in the long term.
\n\t 
\n\tThis year alone, the team at Investe S\u00e3o Paulo, the investment promotion agency linked to the Secretariat for Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation, has already announced the completion of 20 projects. These are investments in the ICT market and in several other segments of the economy that, together, generated more than R$ 6.9 billion in investments and more than 7.5 thousand direct jobs until the first half of August.
\n\t 
\n\tFundamental for the country's economic development, the ICT sector handled R$ 441 billion and represented 8.8% of the national GDP in 2013. The forecast is that, by 2022, its share in the Brazilian economy will be over 10%, increasing its relevance For the country.
\n\t 
\n\tIn S\u00e3o Paulo, ICT is a priority sector, with the State being the main investment center for this industry in Brazil. The size of the market is reflected in the number of people it employs. Between 2003 and 2013, 40,828 jobs were created in the ICT area in the state. This was the sector in which foreign investment generated the most new jobs in the period.
\n\t 
\n\tThe foreign investor's preference for S\u00e3o Paulo is evident in several indicators. More than 70% of foreign capital invested in ICT in Brazil is invested in the State. In addition, 16 of the 23 multinationals in the sector installed in the country are headquartered in S\u00e3o Paulo.
\n\t 
\n\tThe diversified economy, the concentration of corporate headquarters, the supply of qualified labor and the strength of the industrial, service and agribusiness sectors are some of the factors that qualify the State as the ICT center in Brazil.
\n\t 
\n\tIt is in S\u00e3o Paulo that the main technological centers in Latin America are located, such as Campinas, Jundia\u00ed and S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos. These are cities with a high concentration of talent and excellent business opportunities with synergistic sectors of the economy.
\n\t 
\n\tAraraquara, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, S\u00e3o Carlos, Sorocaba and Taubat\u00e9 have emerged as new technological centers. In recent years, they have shown rapid economic growth in the sector and implemented measures to foster new business in their territories.
\n\t 
\n\tThe capital of S\u00e3o Paulo concentrates the operational centers of the largest ICT multinationals. The metropolitan region of the city competes directly with New York, London and Bangalore, which are references in attracting investments in this area in the world.
\n\t 
\n\tThis rich business environment, combined with the performance of state universities, technology parks, incubators and other institutions that promote education and professional training, favors the development of a broad system where technology companies, consultancies and startups proliferate.
\n\t 
\n\tIt is a complex ecosystem, which favors the creation of new knowledge-intensive business models and increased company productivity. Ultimately, it strengthens the country in the face of national and international economic vicissitudes.
\n\t 
\n\tSooner or later, Brazil will resume its growth climb. States that prioritize the ICT sector will be better able to lead national economic development. And S\u00e3o Paulo is already a step ahead in this regard. <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
