MDIC launches platforms to open the European Union market to Brazilian companies
Tools bring together tariffs, rules of origin, and single services for foreign investors in the country
By gnews Newsroom 2 min read
Brazil's Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC) launched two digital platforms on Tuesday (10) to open the European Union (EU) market, with 27 countries and 450 million consumers, to Brazilian companies.
The Conecta Brasil–EU platform turns the text of the Mercosur–European Union agreement into practical information. The tool details import tariffs and quotas, tariff reduction schedules, product rules of origin, and the European bloc's regulatory and environmental requirements.
The platform also provides guidance on exporting goods and services, government procurement, intellectual property, and internationalization support programs. ExportAI, an artificial intelligence system based on the agreement itself, answers questions about preferential tariffs and conditions for trade benefits.
Access to Europe and lower tariffs
The tool was created to help micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises identify trade opportunities. The European Union is Brazil's second-largest trading partner and one of the main markets for diversifying the country's external sales.
New services for investors
The Single Investment Window gained an Investor Area to track requests. The module includes pathways to start issuing a Cadastro de Pessoa Física (CPF, Brazil's individual taxpayer registry) for foreign nationals and a Cadastro Nacional de Pessoas Jurídicas (CNPJ, Brazil's business registry) for foreign companies.
Among the incorporated services are fertilizer registration, trademark and patent registration, technology transfer contracts, information on capital remittances, and guides on tax incentives and tariff exemptions.
FDI reached US$85 billion in 2025
The launch comes amid a significant inflow of foreign capital into the country. Central Bank data cited by MDIC show that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) reached US$85 billion in 2025, the highest result in the past ten years. In 2026, through September, the balance reached US$75.7 billion.
The Single Investment Window was established by Decree 12,615/2025 and developed with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The government plans to launch the platform's third module in 2027, with expanded integration between public systems and new services for strategic sectors.
How companies use the tool
Both platforms are available on the Gov.br portal and are part of the strategy to increase Brazil's participation in international trade. The Single Investment Window has been operating since March and now received its second phase with the new features.
