Final Remarks
Conclusions
 Companies must value the short term perspective but also the medium
and long term
 Local content rules must be analyzed on each specific situation and local
services and after sales must be considered in the Business Plan
 It has been developed a framework in order to create a better business
environment, with more transparency and predictability
 Risk management is still something to care, however you may get inspired
by foreign companies which have succeed in the Brazilian market
 Confidence in excess may be a mistake, but pessimism will not bring you
to the business
 Brazil is the biggest offshore market in the years to come
