Parque Tecnológico de Sorocaba Leads Business Mission to Expo Paraguay Brasil 2026

The Parque Tecnológico de Sorocaba (PTS) is organizing a strategic business mission to participate in the 17th Expo Paraguay Brasil 2026, taking place from November 11 to 13 at Centro TASK in Itaipu, Paraguay. This initiative aims to strengthen business and technological ties between Brazil and Paraguay, opening doors for startups, companies, and institutions to explore new partnerships and exchange expertise, particularly in technology, innovation, and Industry 4.0.

The mission begins on November 10 with technical visits to the Intelligent Technology Park of Taiwan-Paraguay and the Global Free Zone of Ciudad del Este. During the expo, participants will engage in exhibitions, conferences, and business rounds, with PTS hosting a 30-square-meter booth to showcase Brazilian companies and facilitate commercial connections. Meetings with Paraguayan authorities and local business leaders will further encourage strategic collaboration.

Paraguay's maquila regime offers attractive tax incentives for exporters, having generated US$1.262 billion in exports in 2025, with Brazil accounting for 63.6% of these transactions. Key industries identified for potential trade growth include auto parts, manufacturing, plastics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, technology, and services.

The cost to join the mission is R$8,700 per participant, covering exhibition space and support services. Nelson Cancellara, PTS president, stressed the mission's role in expanding market access and fostering innovation in the Sorocaba region, anticipating increased competitiveness and job creation.
