The corridor

Why the Brazil–Europe corridor?

As the largest economy in Latin America, Brazil is becoming structurally more interconnected to Europe. Capital, trade flows, industrial strategy and governance frameworks now move across the Atlantic with renewed intensity — and with renewed complexity.

01

Shifting global supply chains

Changing trade flows are increasing Brazil's relevance as a strategic supplier and operating partner for European industry.

02

EU–Mercosur developments

Evolving trade and investment frameworks create new opportunities for market access, ownership structures and cross-border growth.

03

Agribusiness & commodities

Brazilian agricultural and mineral production is increasingly connected to European supply, trading and processing chains.

04

Industrial expansion

European industrial groups are deepening their Brazilian footprint, while Brazilian companies are building commercial platforms in Europe.

05

Cross-border investment

Private capital, family offices and strategic investors are increasingly active between Latin America and Europe.

06

Governance complexity

International structures require coordinated governance across jurisdictions, ownership layers, advisors and operating realities.

These opportunities create strategic complexity. AereSul Partners helps clients navigate that complexity.

Global reach

Brazil, Europe and Asia.

International structures increasingly involve more than two jurisdictions. Our experience includes practical exposure to Asian markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Indonesia.

We help clients assess how a European hub can support coordination between Brazil, Europe and Asia — improving supplier relationships, treasury management, logistics, governance and execution.

Our experience

Institutional experience, practically applied.

Our team combines more than thirty years of international experience across Brazil, Latin America and Europe.

We have been involved not only in advising on cross-border structures, but also in implementing, operating and testing them in real business environments.

This includes board-level and managing director experience across international organizations, with practical exposure to corporate structuring, governance, trade, transactions and operational execution.

We bring these disciplines together into one integrated strategic view — helping clients move from complexity to clarity, and from decision to execution.

Selected organizations

Our team's background includes advisory, governance and operational experience involving leading Brazilian and international organizations such as Embraer, Petrobras, CBMM, ArcelorMittal, Sinochem, Bunge, H. Strattner, Technip, Odebrecht, Unilever and Shell, among others.
