“This presentation that we are making of the state here in the UAE is key for companies that make major investments to feel secure, and above all to show that there are major investment opportunities and room for business in Santa Catarina. We have major challenges to be overcome, but in order to do so, we have to go and seek solutions around the globe,” said Mello, according to information disclosed by the government of Santa Catarina. According to the government, the DP World executives that welcomed them showed interest in participating in the tender for the operation of the Port of Itajaí.
