Gateware Eyes 30% Growth by 2026 Amid Bolivia-Brazil Trade Push

Gateware, a Curitiba-based tech company, is set for significant growth, projecting a 30% expansion by 2026 after strategic internal reorganization. The company evolved from software development to a broader tech service portfolio, including strategic project management and professional allocation, with a current workforce of around 400 professionals. Despite a challenging 2025, Gateware reported over 20% growth, driven by focus areas like ERP system migrations to SAP S/4HANA and agile software development to meet client demands. Leandro Calvo, Business Director, highlighted plans to expand operations in Brasília and the U.S., aiming for international business to comprise at least 10% of revenue by 2026. Concurrently, a Bolivian delegation from Cainco and Empacar S.A. visited Mato Grosso do Sul to explore enhanced bilateral trade opportunities. During a meeting at Casa da Indústria in Campo Grande with Fiems representatives, including Vice-President Crosara Júnior, discussions underscored the Corredor Bioceânico's role in boosting connectivity between Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile through infrastructure improvements. Carlos Limpias Elio, Empacar's CEO, emphasized the region's business potential and the importance of road infrastructure for trade and port access. Plans for a high-level visit to Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz in January 2026 aim to further strengthen partnerships between Mato Grosso do Sul and Bolivia. These coordinated efforts by corporate and governmental stakeholders highlight the dynamic strategies fueling business growth and international trade enhancement in Latin America.
