Strategic Advisory
We help organizations understand and enter markets across Brazil, the United States and international partners, and we support institutional dialogue between public bodies, companies and international organizations.
What this area covers
- Market analysis and entry strategy across Brazil, the United States and international partners, including BRICS countries
- Institutional engagement with public bodies, legislatures and international organizations
- International missions and delegations
- Municipal and city-to-city cooperation
- Cross-border partnerships and business development
Our role
Our role is to prepare the ground for cooperation: we analyze the context, identify the relevant institutions and people, and help each side understand the other’s priorities, rules and timelines. We then support the dialogue as it develops into concrete proposals.
Typical questions we help with
- A company assessing whether and how to enter the Brazilian or U.S. market
- A city or state government seeking international counterparts with relevant experience
- An institution preparing an international mission and needing a substantive agenda
The world today
The situation and the outlook
- US$ 4 trillion Annual financing gap for the Sustainable Development Goals in developing countries 1 UN, Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (Sevilla, 2025)
- −11% Global foreign direct investment in 2024, excluding conduit flows. International project finance fell 27% 2 UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2025
- 18% Share of SDG targets on track for 2030. Another 18% have regressed 3 UN, The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025
- 139 of 169 SDG targets that could be assessed with global trend data since 2015 4 UN, The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025
Capital for development is scarcer and more selective. Investment is falling while the needs keep growing, so resources flow to projects that are well prepared, to institutions that are credible and to countries that can show reliable results.
What the moment requires
- ExpertsCross-border cooperation depends on people who understand regulation, institutions and markets on both sides.
- Accurate dataPartners and funders decide on verifiable information; where trend data is missing, risk is priced higher.
- Strategic planningPrepared project pipelines and clear priorities are what turn commitments into investment.
