S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 A small group of Brazilian businessmen will participate in a mission to the Middle East from May 23rd to June 1st. Led by the chairman of the Curitiba-based Maccon Internacional Consultancy, M\u00e1rio S\u00e9rgio de Ara\u00fajo Costa, four businessmen will meet with groups from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to prospect deals in aviation, traffic monitoring, security, oil processing and water treatment. <\/p>\n
Marinho Uhlmann, CEO of the Alicerce Business Solution holding company, which owns Maccon, claims that he cannot disclose the names of the companies in the mission, but claims these enterprises already do business abroad. \u201cThese companies do business worldwide, in places such as the United States and Europe. Now, the aim is to expand its activities in the Arab world,\u201d he explains. <\/p>\n
Meetings will be held in all countries. In Saudi Arabia, the meeting will focus on water treatment. \u201cWe will also discuss the creation of a Saudi-Brazilian bank and hospital equipment,\u201d says Uhlmann, referring to the company\u2019s other business in the country, as previously reported by ANBA. In Qatar, meetings will also discuss water treatment, as well as oil processing, and aviation and security will be addressed at meetings in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are Arab companies interested in investing and even buying aviation companies in Brazil,\u201d says the Alicerce CEO. According to him, the businessmen are mostly interested in investing in commercial and cargo routes to secondary destinations in the country, like those linking capitals to the interior, for instance. \u201cThese routes require more careful studies,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Another area of interest to Arab businessmen in Brazil, says the businessman, is the seaport sector. \u201cWe have a dry cargo port project near Paranagu\u00e1 that the Arabs will visit,\u201d he says. On the other hand, Brazilian businessmen in the traffic control, water treatment and oil processing sectors are looking to do business in the Gulf countries. <\/p>\n
Uhlmann claims that the commercial integration work promoted by his companies is a purely business-oriented effort. \u201cWe are developing a work of entrepreneurs, it has nothing to do with government,\u201d he says. \u201cI am interested in establishing increasingly closer ties between Brazil and the Arab world,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
The Alicerce Business Solution holding company comprises ten different enterprises, which operate in construction, environmental technology, and international business consulting, among others. Established ten years ago, the holding company has been active in the foreign market for five years. The Arab countries in the Middle East are its main focus abroad. <\/p>\n
