Key details
The Carajás Negócios fair, scheduled to take place from August 6 to 8 in Parauapebas, Pará, is set to showcase the region's expanding economic potential while attracting significant investments. Organized by the Pará State Secretariat for Economic Development, Mining, and Energy (SEDEME), the event has already generated high interest among local businesses, with most exhibition booths reserved within 30 minutes of its launch.
Parauapebas is emerging as a vital economic hub in the state, ranking second in job creation in 2025 with 25,768 hires and a net positive balance of 3,464 jobs, underscoring robust regional development. This growth is driven primarily by the construction sector, followed by gains in services, commerce, industry, and agriculture, signaling a diversification beyond the area's historic focus on mining.
SEDEME Secretary Paulo Bengtson emphasized that the Carajás Negócios fair seeks to create a favorable environment for strategic partnerships and business deals, aiming to replicate the success of the Pará Negócios event held in the state capital. The fair is projected to generate over R$100 million in business transactions, highlighting its importance in stimulating local and regional economic advances.
By spotlighting Parauapebas as a dynamic regional player, the event supports decentralizing Pará’s economy and encourages investment flows into the city’s expanding sectors. With strong backing from the state government and enthusiastic private participation, Carajás Negócios is positioned to be a catalyst for sustained economic development and diversification in the area.
