About us
The Internationalization Portal of Brazil’s Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Brazil (CAU Brazil) is a tool to strategically support Brazilian companies’ export of architecture and urbanism services. Under the coordination of the Institutional and International Relations Commission (CRI) of CAU Brazil, the portal aims to identify and publicize the competitive advantages of Brazilian architecture in the international market and signal how to overcome barriers and obstacles to export.
The interaction between Brazilian architects and urban planners with international professionals and academics can benefit the sector with increased knowledge, innovation, technology, and new business opportunities. Planning is an essential part of the process of exporting architecture in a valued way, as well as reducing risks.
Another goal of this platform is the construction of a network of relationships for partnerships between the Brazilian market and the foreign market, as well as pointing out opportunities for professionals in the sector. Together, these goals will help CAU Brazil to contribute to the development of the industry and the creation and construction of agreements and regulations in the national and international architecture and urbanism markets.
In recent decades, many leading engineering and architecture consulting firms have consolidated their operations through mergers or strategic alliances, becoming multinational companies. These global companies now operate in several related fields, which puts them in a favorable position to win large contracts in most markets.
