PIB at a glance…

OVERVIEW

PIB is a news site which covers the Brazilian economy in a globalized world. PIB magazine was founded in 2007 as a print publication and quickly gained  a digital version (www.revistapib.com.br).

We launched a new site in November 2018 which maintains the same address. From now on, the digital version will become PIB´s main platform and start publishing regular articles, columns and other original journalistic content.

We will continue to publish a number of special printed editions of PIB magazine a year. The main articles of these special editions — which may focus on a specific topic such as the impact of agriculture 4.0 in Brazil— will be posted on the site.

OUR COVERAGE:

Through the site and printed editions of PIB magazine, we cover the activities of Brazilian companies going international and Brazil´s insertion in the global economy. Likewise, we also follow the activities of international companies and investors doing business in Brazil.

 

Our coverage is local and international. Besides traditional businesses, we pay attention to the world of knowledge and the creative economy. We also cover design and fashion, innovation and science, education and training as well as social and environmental sustainability. Our main topic is Brazil´s place in the world.

 

Our mission is to report on the process of Brazilian companies going international, regardless of their size or area of operation. We provide a dedicated channel of information for companies and professionals looking for news about the largest economy in the Southern Hemisphere and its interaction with world markets.
