The Brazilian Agency for Export and Investment Promotion (ApexBrasil) and Amazon.com Brazil announced the expansion of their partnership aimed at qualifying more Brazilian companies to conquer the international digital market. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be signed during the E-xport Meeting 2024, an event that will take place in São Paulo from July 30 to August 1.

Signing of the Memorandum
Next Wednesday, July 31st, ApexBrasil and Amazon.com Brazil will formalize the MOU for the E-xport Amazon.com 2024 edition program. The signing will take place during the E-Xport Meeting 2024, part of Latin America's largest e-commerce event, the E-commerce Brasil Forum. This event brings together specialists, authorities, and market leaders to discuss and plan the future of global e-commerce.
Since 2021, ApexBrasil and Amazon.com Brazil have been collaborating to support the creation of over 60 stores of Brazilian companies in the United States through e-commerce. In this new phase, the program arrives restructured and aims to train around 200 Brazilian companies interested in expanding their business to the USA. In addition to training, 20 selected companies will receive up to twenty thousand reais to implement their business plans.
The E-xport Amazon.com 2024 program includes more practical planning activities and strategic support, as well as discounts from the supplier network and incentives from Amazon.com. The project cycle begins with basic training at the E-Xport Meeting and extends until the end of the year, with the operation of Brazilian stores in the American market.
“By renewing this partnership, ApexBrasil and Amazon.com Brazil are opening up space for companies interested in operating competitively on one of the world’s leading e-commerce platforms,” said Clarissa Furtado, Competitiveness Manager at ApexBrasil.
“With the Amazon International Selling Program, we make the entire process easier and more efficient for those who want to export their products, providing specialized support. We are committed to supporting entrepreneurs in Brazil, strengthening their businesses at a national level and enabling them to expand beyond borders,” highlighted Ricardo Garrido, Marketplace Director at Amazon Brazil.
Amazon.com is present on all continents and ships products to over 200 countries and territories. Valentina Neves, Project and Partnership Manager for Latin America at Amazon, highlighted that about 75% of buyers use Amazon to discover new brands and products, benefiting Brazilian sellers with the platform's high traffic.
According to Camila Paschoal, analyst at the Coordination of Competitiveness of ApexBrasil, the proposal is to promote the internationalization of Brazilian companies through sustainable integration into global e-commerce and to improve their digital presence. Amazon, in turn, seeks to increase the number of Brazilian companies exporting through the platform, providing training and democratizing export through international e-commerce.
