Less bureaucracy, more profit: how cryptocurrencies simplify global trade

All markets, without exception, are getting more digital and faster.In the business universe, companies want ways to receive and make payments that are easier, more agile, without much bureaucracy and with lower costs. Therefore, it is not surprising that cryptocurrencies have come to be seen as a hub of innovation, with a huge ability to optimize trade, especially in operations involving different countries.

Basically, this solution guarantees new opportunities for organizations and consumers And the reason is simple: the simplification of financial processes. The movement between global values becomes more practical and transparent with the action of this feature, as it allows the incorporation of technologies such as blockchain and smart contracts.

To illustrate, we will think of two scenarios of the same situation: a national company that wants to buy a Russian oil tanker. In the first, without the action of cryptocurrencies, the money would need to be contributed to an escrow account, which acts as an intermediary to store the resources during a transaction, in one of the two countries, as a form of payment guarantee. That is, when the ship arrived on site, the amount would be released and a future note exchange operation would happen, bringing risks related to transportation variables, delivery, product quality etc.

In the second, with cryptocurrencies coming into play, all these steps could be less bureaucratic with the incorporation of a smart contract. The modality itself serves as a guarantee of payment for being instant and safe. In this way, those involved stay on the same page, are less impacted by market fluctuations and carry out the transactions in question without great difficulties.

More advantages, less risks

Despite raising financial operations to a new level of efficiency, the great fear regarding cryptocurrencies is related to volatility. However, we need to understand that this characteristic already exists today, regardless of the use of the digital currency. 

Mainly because it involves many third parties and a range of global uncertainties, this type of risk is intrinsic to current business relationships.However, using technology to eliminate unnecessary processes in trading is a greater advantage than any hindrance that may arise.

Cryptocurrencies take away all the possible legal complexities that exist in international operations. Programmable modalities are able to absorb contractual exchange details, bringing more predictability to what companies actually have a chance to control and plan.

Regulatory day

In the wake of the growth of crypto investments, regulation has become a major global debate agenda in order to ensure compliance and security in transactions. In Brazil, the only existing legislation on this market today is Normative Instruction (IN) 188, which obliges Over-the-Counter (OTC) trading services and operators to make an income tax report. 

With the increase of investments in the sector, there is a strong need for this process to be improved. This would professionalize the segment, since the companies that operate need to follow certain standards, bringing more legal robustness to personal and institutional investors.

Many organizations are still afraid to invest in cryptocurrencies precisely because of the lack of speed in the regulatory field. On the other hand, we can not fail to note that the technological advance linked to quantum processing and Generative Artificial Intelligence has been helping several companies to protect themselves from malicious agents, shielding operations.Inclusive, these tools will be indispensable in Brazil due to the arrival of DREX, the digital currency of the Central Bank of Brazil, scheduled to be launched in 2025. 

The crypto world is not something of a distant future. It is already a reality that is beginning to change the way companies do business. Individuals and corporations need to increasingly understand that this is an important trend in the financial market, which can boost businesses and entire economies.

Gartner announces top Data & Analytics predictions

The Gartner, Inc.. announced the main forecasts of Data&Analytics (D&A) for 2025 and beyond. Among the highlights, half of business decisions will be improved or automated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents; AI executive literacy will drive greater financial performance; and critical failures in synthetic data management will put AI governance, model accuracy, and compliance at risk.

“Almost everything today - from the way we work to how we make decisions - IS directly or indirectly influenced by AI. But it does not deliver value by itself & AI needs to be strongly aligned with data, AI says analytics and governance to enable smart and adaptive decisions and actions across the company”, he says Carlie Idoine's, Vice President Analyst at Gartner.

Gartner recommends that companies use the following strategic assumptions to guide their planning over the next 2 to 3 years.

By 2027, 50% of business decisions will be enhanced or automated by AI agents for decision intelligence

Decision intelligence combines data, analytics e Artificial Intelligence to create decision flows that support and automate complex judgments. AI agents enhance this process by addressing the complexity, analysis, and recovery of various data sources.Gartner recommends that Data & Analytics leaders work with business stakeholders to identify and prioritize decisions critical to company success and those that can benefit from a more effective application of analytics and AI.

“AI agents for decision intelligence are not a panacea, nor are they infallible”, says Idoine.“They should be used collectively with effective governance and risk management.Human decisions still require adequate knowledge as well as data literacy and Artificial Intelligence.”

By 2027, companies that emphasize AI literacy for executives will achieve a higher 20% financial performance compared to those that do not

To unlock the full business potential of Artificial Intelligence, it is necessary to develop the AI literacy of executives. They should be educated on the opportunities, risks and costs of Artificial Intelligence so that they can make effective and future-ready decisions about AI investments that accelerate organizational outcomes. Gartner recommends that D&A leaders introduce experiential enhancement programs for executives, such as developing domain-specific prototypes to make AI tangible.

By 2027, 60% of Data & Analytics leaders will face critical failures in synthetic data management, putting AI governance, model accuracy and compliance at risk

The use of synthetic data to train AI models is now a essential strategy to increase privacy and generate diverse datasets, however, the complexities arise from the need to ensure that synthetic data accurately represents real-world scenarios, scales effectively to meet growing data demand, and integrates seamlessly with data pipelines and existing data systems.

“To manage these risks, companies need effective” metadata management, says Idoine.“Metadata provides the context, lineage, and governance needed to track, verify, and manage synthetic data responsibly, which is essential to maintaining AI accuracy and meeting compliance standards.”

By 2028, 30% of GenAI pilots moving into large-scale production will be built in-house, rather than deployed using off-the-shelf applications, to reduce cost and increase control

Creating models of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) internally provides flexibility, control and long-term value that many ready-made tools cannot match. As internal resources grow, Gartner recommends that companies adopt a clear framework for creative decisions versus purchase - This should take into account cost, time to market, available skill sets, integration capabilities, compliance, and risks.

By 2027, companies that prioritize semantics over AI-ready data will increase the accuracy of their GenAI models by up to 80% and reduce costs by up to 60%

Low-quality semantics in GenAI lead to greater hallucinations, more tokens companies that rethink data management to focus on active metadata increase model accuracy and efficiency, have more data ready for AI and they reduce computing costs, according to Gartner, this allows AI agents to operate more effectively and facilitates smarter, faster decision-making across the enterprise.

By 2029, 10% of global boards of directors will use AI guidance to challenge executive decisions that are important to their business

As AI is incorporated into board strategy, the need for a strong data governanceregulatory clarity and reputation management will intensify. Gartner recommends boards set the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence involvement in decision-making and establish clear policies on oversight, accountability and regulatory compliance.This will enable them to use AI as a strategic advisor while maintaining trust and control.

DDoS attacks less than 5 minutes up nearly 40%

Os ataques DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) continuam sendo uma das ameaças mais recorrentes e sofisticadas no universo da cibersegurança. De acordo com o relatório Global DDoS Landscape, da NSFOCUS, do ano passado para cá, houve um aumento expressivo tanto na frequência quanto na complexidade dos ataques.

O material reúne as informações obtidas a partir de um profundo estudo sobre o mercado de cibersegurança, baseado nas tendências de tráfego global e na base de clientes da empresa, e levantou três pontos que chamaram a atenção:

Crescimento de ataques ultracurtos e massivos

Os chamados ataques relâmpago (burst attacks), que duram menos de 5 minutos, cresceram 36,5%. Apesar de breves, eles geraram picos de tráfego extremamente elevados, dificultando a detecção e exigindo respostas automatizadas em tempo real.

Multiplicação de vetores de ataque

Os ataques multivetoriais (multi-vector attacks), que combinam diferentes tipos de técnicas – como inundações UDP, TCP e ataques a camada de aplicação (Layer 7) – representaram mais de 55% dos casos. Isso mostra uma clara intenção de sobrecarregar diferentes pontos da infraestrutura de rede e aplicação simultaneamente.

Crescimento de ataques contra aplicações e APIs

A camada de aplicação e interfaces de programação (APIs) tornaram-se alvos preferenciais. Isso se deve à sua criticidade nos serviços digitais e à dificuldade de distinguir tráfego legítimo do malicioso nesse nível. Em muitos casos, bots avançados simulam o comportamento humano para driblar mecanismos tradicionais de mitigação.

Neste momento, o grande desafio das equipes de cibersegurança é adequar modelos antigos que não funcionam mais. Segundo Raphael Tedesco, diretor de negócios da NSFOCUS, a maioria das organizações ainda depende de soluções pontuais, como firewalls tradicionais ou balanceadores de carga, ineficazes contra ataques distribuídos, multivetoriais e de camada de aplicação. “Além disso, a dependência exclusiva de soluções locais (on-premises) limita a capacidade de resposta contra ataques de grande escala”, ressalta.

Outro ponto crítico é a falsa sensação de segurança. Empresas que não sofreram incidentes recentes tendem a subestimar a sofisticação dos atacantes e a velocidade com que novas ferramentas criminosas são disponibilizadas como serviço, como no modelo DDoS-as-a-Service.

Diante desse cenário, é essencial que as empresas tenham uma abordagem proativa, distribuída e inteligente para a defesa contra DDoS. Algumas recomendações incluem:

  • Mitigação híbrida (cloud + on-premises): Serviços de proteção em nuvem com aplicações locais permitem escalar a resposta conforme o tipo e o volume do ataque.
  • Inspeção inteligente de tráfego: Soluções com análise comportamental e uso de IA ajudam a identificar padrões anômalos e distinguir bots de usuários legítimos.
  • Proteção específica para aplicações e APIs: Firewalls de aplicação web (WAFs), gateways de API e serviços de proteção L7 devem ser integrados ao plano de defesa.
  • Simulações e testes regulares: Testes controlados de resistência são fundamentais para avaliar a eficácia das defesas existentes e preparar a equipe de resposta a incidentes.
  • Monitoramento contínuo e resposta automatizada: A visibilidade em tempo real e a tomada de decisões automatizadas são essenciais para conter ataques curtos e intensos.

Os ataques DDoS deixaram de ser apenas uma tática de desestabilização para se tornarem uma arma estratégica – utilizada por grupos hacktivistas, criminosos financeiros e em campanhas coordenadas de guerra cibernética. “Dessa forma, as empresas que não evoluírem suas defesas continuarão vulneráveis a ataques que, mesmo durando poucos minutos, podem gerar prejuízos financeiros e reputacionais imensos”, finaliza Tedesco.

Infobip launches agentic AI platform for customer interaction

A Infobip acaba de lançar uma nova ferramenta para transformar a forma como empresas conversam com seus clientes. Chamada de Plataforma de Orquestração de Experiências Conversacionais (CXOP), a solução usa inteligência artificial agêntica para tornar os atendimentos mais rápidos, personalizados e eficientes. Com ela, marcas conseguem automatizar e dinamizar interações em canais como WhatsApp, RCS e chats online, integrando marketing, vendas e suporte em grande escala. A tecnologia permite que agentes virtuais compreendam o contexto das conversas, tomem decisões de forma autônoma e colaborem com equipes humanas quando necessário. O objetivo é melhorar a experiência do cliente, reduzir custos e aumentar a fidelização.

Segundo uma pesquisa global realizada pela CISCO, até 2028 é esperado que 68% de todas as interações de atendimento e suporte ao cliente com fornecedores de tecnologia sejam tratadas por meio da IA agêntica. Em sua essência, o CXOP, que foi desenvolvido com base no Microsoft Azure OpenAI em modelos Foundry, utiliza uma rede de assistentes de IA inteligentes e agênticos que entendem a intenção do usuário e executam fluxos de trabalho sensíveis ao contexto. Esses agentes não apenas respondem, mas orientam, resolvem e agem, criando experiências fluidas e humanas, desde a geração de leads até a retenção. 

A solução foi desenvolvida pelo Hub de IA da Infobip, plataforma global de comunicação em nuvem, marcando um grande avanço ao incorporar nativamente a IA agêntica em todo o conjunto de produtos da empresa, unificando canais, dados e automação em uma única plataforma inteligente. “O CXOP permite às empresas irem além dos fluxos de trabalho estáticos, oferecendo interações inteligentes e empáticas em escala”, diz Ivan Ostojić, Chief Business Officer da Infobip. “É um passo fundamental para construir experiências de cliente com foco em IA que gerem impacto comercial mensurável.”

Com o CXOP, as empresas podem oferecer interações de IA empáticas e orientadas a objetivos específicos em qualquer canal de comunicação. A plataforma também reduz o tempo de resposta e os custos de serviço por meio da automação. Entre os benefícios, estão o aumento de conversões de leads e do desempenho de campanha com a personalização em tempo real, além do suporte a equipes híbridas com intervenção humana em casos complexos, e a iniciação rápida com opções de implantação no code ou full-code.

Os consumidores de hoje esperam interações instantâneas, relevantes e fluidas, independentemente do canal. A CXOP atende a essa demanda unificando mensagens, automação e assistência com tecnologia de IA em uma plataforma única e inteligente que se adapta ao comportamento, sentimento e intenção em tempo real. 

“Usando IA agêntica em vez de automação baseada em regras, o CXOP é uma melhoria para as experiências do cliente”, explica Myladie Stoumbou, Diretora Sênior de Parcerias com ISVs na Microsoft. “Disponível no Microsoft Azure Marketplace, os clientes podem acessar esses produtos certificados e eliminar a complexidade de gerenciar relações individuais com fornecedores”, finaliza.

Generation Z leads movement for greater financial appreciation

De acordo com pesquisa da Robert Half, consultoria global em soluções de talentos, os profissionais da Geração Z (entre 18 e 27 anos) foram os que mais elevaram suas expectativas salariais no Brasil em comparação com o ano anterior. Para 74% dos empregadores entrevistados, os candidatos dessa faixa etária estão mais exigentes quando o assunto é remuneração.

O estudo ouviu 500 empregadores de diferentes portes, setores e regiões do País, além de 1.000 trabalhadores, igualmente distribuídos entre as quatro gerações analisadas: Baby Boomers (+60 anos), Geração X (44 a 59), Millennials (28 a 43) e Geração Z.

Entre as empresas brasileiras, 41% afirmaram que os profissionais da Geração Z estão “muito mais exigentes” em relação ao salário, índice superior ao observado entre os Millennials (24%), Geração X (18%) e Baby Boomers (9%). Outros 33% consideram que os talentos da Geração Z estão “um pouco mais rigorosos”, ante 47% dos Millennials, 25% da Geração X e 14% dos Baby Boomers. Por outro lado, 41% dos empregadores não percebem mudança no comportamento da Geração X quanto ao tema, e 31% observam os Baby Boomers se tornando menos exigentes.

Em nível global, 37% dos talentos da Geração Z tornaram-se muito mais rigorosos em relação à remuneração. Para os Millennials, esse número é de 22%; para a Geração X, 12%; e para os Baby Boomers, 8%. Além do Brasil, o levantamento abrangeu Bélgica, França, Alemanha, Holanda, Suíça e Reino Unido.

Esse comportamento também se reflete nas expectativas dos próprios profissionais: 39% da Geração Z esperam um aumento salarial nos próximos 12 meses por considerarem ter adquirido novas habilidades ou qualificações. Outros 34% citam a superação de metas de desempenho como justificativa, enquanto 28% mencionam o impacto da inflação no custo de vida e o aumento da carga de trabalho.

“O que vemos é uma geração que valoriza propósito e ambiente de trabalho, mas que também entende o reconhecimento financeiro como parte essencial do pacote”, reflete Amanda Adami, gerente da Robert Half. “As taxas de desemprego seguem em níveis historicamente baixos, o que aumenta a competitividade entre os profissionais e reforça a percepção do próprio valor no mercado”, complementa.

Além do salário, os benefícios corporativos também ganham destaque. Quase três quartos (72%) dos empregadores perceberam aumento nas exigências da Geração Z por esse tipo de contrapartida. O índice é superior ao das demais gerações analisadas, indicando que as expectativas vão além da remuneração direta.

O estudo mostra ainda que os critérios utilizados para justificar um aumento variam entre as gerações. Enquanto os mais jovens priorizam o desenvolvimento de competências e o desempenho, os Baby Boomers são os que mais apontam o aumento do custo de vida como razão para buscar melhores salários. Já os Millennials e os profissionais da Geração X equilibram a valorização de novos aprendizados com o cumprimento de metas.

Para as companhias, o desafio está em compreender essas nuances e oferecer propostas percebidas como atrativas. “O equilíbrio entre reconhecimento financeiro, oportunidades de crescimento e qualidade de vida tende a determinar o sucesso das estratégias de atração e retenção de talentos, agora e no futuro. As lideranças precisam estar atentas a isso para formar equipes de alta performance e sustentáveis no longo prazo”, conclui Amanda.

The risk of falling behind: why subscription consumption is inevitable

The risk of falling behind: why subscription consumption is inevitable

The streaming model has revolutionized the way we consume content, and its impact has extended beyond screens. What began with music and video has transformed into a new consumption standard, which now extends to various economic sectors. Books, fashion, food, health, and even pet services have started to be delivered recurrently through subscriptions. According to McKinsey, this market grew over 100% per year between 2011 and 2016 in the United States. In Brazil, a PwC survey indicates that revenue predictability and continuous customer engagement are the main attractions of this model for companies.

In a scenario where the cost of acquiring new consumers is increasingly high, the subscription model is no longer a novelty but has established itself as a market requirement. More than a trend, subscription-based consumption represents a practical and strategic response to contemporary business challenges. Companies that adopt recurring revenue gain three fundamental pillars for their sustainability: revenue predictability, customer loyalty, and scalability potential.

This is a model that allows for more secure future planning, reduces customer churn, and scales operations with more aggressive investments in marketing, technology, and innovation. It is no wonder that giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon already concentrate a significant portion of their revenue in this format. Nevertheless, many traditional companies resist this transformation, which puts them at a competitive disadvantage. The problem lies not only in ignoring a trend but in turning a blind eye to a structural shift in consumer behavior.

Today's consumers value convenience, personalization, and continuous experiences, and they expect brands to deliver all of this seamlessly. Ignoring this movement is a strategic risk. To remain relevant, companies must leave behind the transactional model, based on one-off purchases, and adopt a relational approach supported by ecosystems of recurring products and services. The key lies in customer-centric digital transformation: investing in data, customer service, and personalization. Subscription-based consumption is not a passing fad—it is the new standard. And brands that fail to adapt now run the serious risk of being left behind.

Mondelēz boosts sellers' average ticket to 34% by integrating Yalo into B2B sales via WhatsApp

The adoption of new technologies in the retail sector has become increasingly essential to generate value, operational efficiency, and market competitiveness for businesses, such as consumer goods companies. The topic was discussed by Andrés Stella, COO of Yalo, and Livia Seabra, Director of E-commerce and Emerging Channels at Mondelēz Brasil, during the "New Technologies in Value Generation" panel at APAS Show 2025, exploring how artificial intelligence and omnichannel strategies are reshaping B2B relationships and sales methods via WhatsApp. As a result, technological innovations have enhanced sales performance as a key ally in outcomes, with a 34% increase in the average purchase ticket in direct physical interactions with distributors, alongside growth in sales through digital channels. 

The advancement in using AI agents to automate and personalize the purchasing journey, especially on platforms where small and medium retailers are already present, highlights the strategy adopted by Mondelēz Brasil, aimed at boosting productivity through a resource that is strong and familiar to the Brazilian population. "Selling on WhatsApp will not replace physical salespeople. The trend is growth, but also transforming the distributor’s salesperson from order-takers into sales leaders, boosting their average ticket, overseeing execution, categories, out-of-stocks, building relationships, and analyzing low-selling products for efficient business management. Technology adds to and strengthens retail sales, implementing omnichannel strategies for greater acquisition and AI agents for experience optimization and personalization," reveals Livia. 

This performance becomes even more significant with Yalo's recent launch: Oris. Introduced as the first intelligent sales agent, this technology brings a new kind of "digital employee" designed to replicate the best human salespeople, operating at scale and based on data. The agent can understand voice messages, make strategic recommendations, act proactively, and sell in a contextualized, personalized, and scalable manner across any channel, including voice calls and WhatsApp. Throughout the panel, the companies revealed that the digitization of traditional channels has impacted the market swiftly and efficiently, from major industry brands to small neighborhood retailers that have not yet implemented other digital tools in their processes due to reasons such as investment, uncertainty, and lack of knowledge. Furthermore, the AI integrated into platforms enables more direct communication aligned with different consumer profiles, avoiding friction during the journey. 

"Through our partnership with Mondelēz Brasil, we boosted the company’s B2B sales by over 15% via WhatsApp. I often hear that retailers seek to digitize their customers, but the truth is they are already highly digitized, and the challenge is to find them on the right channels where they are present and active. With the arrival of new technologies, we did not reduce the workforce; we enhanced and strengthened it. Where to start? The first step is to experience it, test, adapt, explore—and then implement consistently and coherently with your business, achieving your strategically developed goals in the action plan," explains Andrés. 

 The launch of Oris reinforces the vision that technology acts as an allied force, not a replacement, for salespeople. The digital employee can triple conversion rates compared to traditional e-commerce and increase the average ticket by up to 40%, optimizing the end customer’s purchasing journey and enabling human salespeople to focus on more elaborate, creative, and strategic activities. 

"Innovations have arrived to support us, as has the integration of sales channels. Of course, there are obstacles, but it is by facing them that we manage to evolve, refine processes, increase sales, unite workforces, team members, customers, and partners, and thus move the business closer to success in its entirety. Transformation requires attitude—not just openness to the new, but experiencing in practice the significant advantages of new technologies, which can truly transform an operation," concludes Andrés Stella.

Carriers face unprecedented wave of internet scams with brand and image use

Transportadoras ligadas aos e-commerces estão enfrentando uma onda sem precedentes de tentativas de golpes na internet praticadas por cibercriminosos que se apropriam da imagem das empresas para solicitar pagamento indevido de taxas adicionais, realizar vendas inexistentes e direcionar usuários para links inseguros.

Nas ações, os criminosos utilizam e-mails, mensagens de texto via WhatsApp, as redes sociais e sites falsos para enganar consumidores, simulando comunicações oficiais das empresas, inclusive com o uso indevido do logotipo da transportadora.

“Por e-mails ou mensagens de texto que se passam por oficiais, os criminosos praticam o phishing, pedindo para que o usuário faça um download ou acesse um link, para roubar dados ou mesmo fazer com que sejam pagas taxas extras inexistentes relacionadas a entregas de encomendas”, explica Bruno Tortorello, CEO da Jadlog Logística, uma das maiores transportadoras de cargas fracionadas e e-commerce do País.

Em outra modalidade, os cibercriminosos criam anúncios de leilões virtuais de smartphones ou de outros aparelhos eletroeletrônicos a preços acessíveis supostamente promovidos pelas transportadoras em páginas de veículos de imprensa, para dar credibilidade ao golpe.

Ofertas de empregos inexistentes, sites clonados que oferecem supostos serviços da transportadora e falsos contratos enviados via aplicativos de mensagens para agregar frotas são também outras maneiras que os golpistas utilizam para tentar subtrair valores em dinheiro ou roubar dados dos usuários.

“Estelionatários criaram em redes sociais domínios falsos com o nome e logotipo da Jadlog, por exemplo, em golpes mais antigos, para oferecer vagas de trabalho falsas e solicitar pagamentos para que o candidato participe do processo seletivo”, conta Alexandro Strack, Diretor de TI e DPO (Data Protection Officer) da Jadlog.

“Diante das inúmeras práticas fraudulentas, a Jadlog reforça que não solicita pagamentos por WhatsApp, e-mail ou redes sociais, tampouco realiza vendas diretas ou cobra taxas adicionais por canais não oficiais. Além disso, reitera que toda comunicação real da empresa é feita exclusivamente pelos canais institucionais oficiais no website jadlog.com.br, no Instagram @jadlog.oficial, Facebook @jadlogoficial, Linkedin @jadloglogistica. Isso vale para outras transportadoras e diversas empresas do mercado e as pessoas precisam estar alertas para não serem enganadas pelos criminosos, cada vez mais audaciosos”, completa Strack.

Internamente, a empresa está apurando os fatos e as denúncias enviadas por clientes, visando localizar a origem dos golpes e identificação dos fraudadores. A Jadlog notificou a Polícia Civil de São Paulo sobre esses crimes e segue colaborando com as investigações. Paralelamente, tem divulgado alertas de fraude nos canais oficiais com o objetivo de proteger clientes e parceiros.

Inclusion and speed: the Brazil-Asia e-commerce revolution In recent years, Brazil has experienced a significant transformation in its e-commerce landscape, driven by a combination of factors including increased internet penetration, the rise of mobile technology, and a growing middle class with higher disposable income. This transformation has been further accelerated by the strengthening of trade relations between Brazil and Asia, particularly with China. **Inclusion: Bridging the Digital Divide** One of the most notable aspects of Brazil's e-commerce growth is the inclusion of previously underserved populations. Historically, Brazil has faced challenges with digital inequality, where certain regions and demographic groups had limited access to the internet and e-commerce platforms. However, initiatives by the government, private sector, and non-governmental organizations have worked to bridge this digital divide. Programs such as "Internet para Todos" (Internet for All) have aimed to expand broadband access across the country, particularly in rural and remote areas. Additionally, partnerships with tech companies have led to the development of affordable smartphones and payment solutions, making it easier for lower-income individuals to participate in the digital economy. **Speed: The Rapid Growth of E-commerce** The speed at which Brazil's e-commerce sector has grown is remarkable. According to data from the Brazilian E-commerce Association (ABComm), the sector has seen exponential growth over the past decade. In 2020, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce sales in Brazil reached a record high, with a significant increase in the number of online shoppers and the volume of transactions. This rapid growth can be attributed to several factors: 1. **Increased Internet Penetration**: With more Brazilians gaining access to the internet, the potential customer base for e-commerce has expanded significantly. 2. **Mobile Technology**: The widespread adoption of smartphones has played a crucial role in driving e-commerce growth. Mobile commerce (m-commerce) has become increasingly popular, allowing consumers to shop anytime, anywhere. 3. **Payment Solutions**: The introduction of various payment methods, including digital wallets, credit cards, and installment plans, has made online shopping more accessible and convenient for consumers. 4. **Logistics and Delivery**: Improvements in logistics and delivery services have enhanced the e-commerce experience. Companies have invested in technology and infrastructure to ensure faster and more reliable delivery, which is critical for customer satisfaction. **Brazil-Asia Trade Relations** The strengthening of trade relations between Brazil and Asia, especially with China, has had a profound impact on Brazil's e-commerce sector. China is not only a major source of imported goods for Brazil but also a significant investor in Brazilian technology and infrastructure.
