With the meeting, Invests SP gets a better understanding of the potential of Catanduva

On March 12, the president of Investe São Paulo, Juan Quirós, welcomed the mayor of Catanduva, Geraldo Vinholi. Vinholi was accompanied by a team of entrepreneurs from the food sector that plans to perform a large project in the city. One of the main purposes of the meeting was to strengthen the relationship between the state agency and the municipality.

“In addition to the institutional training meetings with various municipalities, we are making individual meetings to study the economic vocation of each region. Catanduva already stands out in the production of household appliances and in the sugar and ethanol sector, but today we realized that the city has the potential to stand out in other sectors too,” said Quirós.

The mayor stressed the importance of the meeting. “We brought a project that we believe will be a pioneer in the world. The support from Investe SP will be crucial to make it possible, not only for the Agency’s work, but also for the president’s experience. He gave us a new insight into the enterprise,” he said.

From the municipality’s team, the meeting was also attended by the Business Development Manager Fernando César Braz, the Tourism Manager Natalia Molinari and the Communication Advisor Fernanda Albano. From Investe SP, the meeting was attended by the director Sérgio Costa and the General Manager Wilson Soares.


Intelligence

The information provided by the municipalities are the basis of the lists sent to investors who use the support from Investe São Paulo.

Based on a list of demands and prerequisites, the professionals in the project area of the Agency make lists of cities that can meet their needs, including taking them to visit properties.

Thus, the more information Investe SP has about a city, the greater the chance that it is included in the options that investors take into account when deciding where to settle their business.

That is why the state agency recently launched the Area of Municipalities, a section in the website of Investe São Paulo with exclusive access to the municipalities of São Paulo. Through this tool, the municipalities will be able to register the land areas to be presented to investors and report issues relating to municipal tax laws, master plan and map the investments announced in the 645 cities.
