This booklet summarizes the discussions and contributions from the Business Dialogue titled “Investing in Smart Cities: Driving Sustainable Development through Digital and Energy Infrastructure.”<\/strong> The event took place on March 27 in Curitiba, in conjunction with the Smart City Expo Curitiba 2026. This project is part of the “EU-Brazil Investment Dialogue,” a collaboration between the Delegation of the European Union to Brazil, the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), and ApexBrasil<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The document brings together representatives from municipal governments, financial institutions, companies, and experts to focus on two main objectives: examining the landscape, trends, and challenges of the smart cities agenda in Brazil, and identifying pathways to transform urban solutions into genuinely fundable projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report provides an overview of the sector, including national and international data and trends. It highlights selected projects from five cities that participated in the meeting: Curitiba, S\u00e3o Paulo, Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte. Additionally, it offers strategic recommendations for bilateral cooperation, including a matrix of investment opportunities categorized by short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a key component of the “EU-Brazil Investment Dialogue”<\/strong> project, the Business Dialogues aim to unite relevant business stakeholders around potential opportunities and challenges, ultimately enhancing the investment climate in the Brazil-EU relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n
