São Paulo has retained the top spot in the South American
States of the Future ranking for 2016/17, with Buenos Aires
Autonomous City rising to claim second place and Rio de

or the second time in a row,
Brazil’s most populous state of
São Paulo has been named fDi’s
South American State of the Future.
The state ranked first in both the
Economic Potential and Human
Capital and Lifestyle categories of the
ranking, second in Connectivity and
Business Friendliness and third in FDI
Strategy. The state attracted the highest number of inward FDI projects of
all states analysed. In total, 870 projects were recorded between 2011 and
2015, according to greenfield investment monitor fDi Markets.
The highest proportion of investments in São Paulo were in the software and IT sector, which attracted 17%
of all projects. US-based Rocket Fuel, a
digital ad sales company, invested in
São Paulo in January 2015, stating that
“Brazil is primed to be a Latin American
bellwether for programmatic media”,
while US-based Search Optics said of its
June 2015 investment in the state: “The
opportunity in Brazil is huge.” São
Paulo state is home to the ‘Brazilian
Silicon Valley’ region of Campinas, an
area close to São Paulo city with a focus
on research and innovation. Of all
states in South America, São Paulo
attracted the highest number of R&D
FDI projects.
R&D investment in São Paulo state
reached a peak in 2012, then fell by
55% in 2013. However, there have been

year-on-year increases in the number
of R&D projects recorded since 2013,
signalling a slight improvement in
the R&D investment landscape. Chinabased BYD, a manufacturer of
rechargeable batteries and automobiles, invested in Campinas in July
2014, crediting its investment decision to the city’s “spirit of innovation”.
Campinas is home to many universities, which contributes greatly to the
research environment in the state.
São Paulo boasts the highest number
of higher education institutions of all
states in the study, which contributed
to the state’s first place ranking in the
Human Capital and Lifestyle category.
Twelve of the state’s universities are
featured in the QS University
Ranking’s list of Top 300 Universities
in Latin America, and 1.6 million students study in São Paulo, the highest
number of any state analysed.
Buenos Aires on the rise
Buenos Aires Autonomous City in
Argentina ranked in second place in
this year’s ranking. The state rose from
fourth place in 2014/15, ranking second in the Human Capital and Lifestyle
category and third in both Economic
Potential and Business Friendliness. Of
the 106 FDI projects that were recorded
in the state between 2011 and 2015, 24
investments were made by companies
in the software and IT sector.
Capital expenditure in software
and IT peaked in Buenos Aires
Autonomous City in 2015, having suffered declines in 2013 and 2014. In
November 2015, US-based Bluesmart,
a developer of smart luggage,
announced a $100m investment in
the state, establishing an R&D centre
that will create about 150 jobs.
Thirteen of the state’s universities are featured on the QS ranking
of Top 300 Universities in Latin
America, the joint-highest of all
states analysed (along with Brazil’s
Minas Gerais), and Buenos Aires
Autonomous City’s student population is one of the highest of all South
American states (as a percentage of
its total population).
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s second largest state, ranked third in this year’s
ranking. The state performed well in
several categories, notably ranking
second place in Economic Potential.
Almost 250 FDI projects were recorded
in the state between 2011 and 2015,
with the automotive OEM sector commanding the highest level of capital
investment of all sectors. ■
