NBSO Belo Horizonte - Brazil

NBSO Belo Horizonte

The NBSO (Netherlands Business Support Office) in Brazil plays a vital role in facilitating market entry and business development for Dutch companies across a broad range of sectors. Strategically located in Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais, the NBSO serves as a key partner for companies aiming to establish or expand their presence in Brazil.

Minas Gerais, one of Brazil’s largest and most economically diverse states, offers abundant opportunities for international business. The state is globally recognized for its strong mining sector being a leading producer of iron ore, niobium, and other critical minerals as well as for its vibrant agribusiness, particularly in coffee, dairy, grains, and fruit production. Furthermore, Minas Gerais is emerging as a hub for innovation, energy transition, and logistics, benefiting from its strategic location with access to major domestic and international markets.

Partners in International Business Program

PIB Minas Gerais – Dutch Technical Team for Dam Safety

The Kingdom of The Netherlands, through the NBSO, is deeply engaged in a public-private partnership in the field of sustainable solutions for mining and dam safety, called Partners in International Business (PIB). The NBSO and the cluster 'Dutch Technical Team for Dam Safety - DTTD' are working closely together to develop the best solutions towards responsible mining in Brazil, in cooperation with Brazilian mining companies and Governmental institutions.

In addition to the commercial and institutional bias, it is important to mention that there is a Knowledge to Knowledge (K2K) component in this partnership, in which the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP), well known for its expertise in the field of mining studies, is fully engaged in delivering academic contribution through case studies developed in partnership with the companies that are part of the DTTD.
