Project shared export strategies for companies in the jewelry supply chain during the largest business fair in the Limeira region

Precious Brazil, an initiative of the Brazilian Gems and Jewellery Trade Association (IBGM) in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), participated in the 4th edition of FENACIL – ACIL Limeira’s Entrepreneurship and Business Fair, held from June 24 to 26, 2025.

Recognized as the largest business fair in the Limeira (SP) region, FENACIL brought together more than 60 exhibitors and attracted over 5,000 attendees across three days of activities.

Precious Brazil’s presence at the event reinforced the project’s commitment to supporting the growth and internationalization of Brazilian companies in the gemstone and jewelry sector. On June 25, the project’s manager, Clarissa Maciel, participated in the panel “How to Prepare for Exporting to Other Countries,” held at the ATLAS Business Arena.

The talk brought together experts who shared practical strategies and guidance on how to access international markets.
Alongside Clarissa, the panel featured Luiz Rocha, manager of ApexBrasil’s PEIEX program; Viviane Iark, Precious Brazil manager at ApexBrasil; and Márcia Nejaim, the agency’s representative in São Paulo.

The conversation highlighted tools, programs, and incentives available to Brazilian companies seeking to start or expand their exports, emphasizing the integrated efforts between ApexBrasil and IBGM.

The session served as a strategic opportunity for entrepreneurs in the region, which is nationally recognized for the strength of its jewelry and fashion jewelry production chain. Focused on fostering connections and driving economic development, FENACIL has become a key business platform — and Precious Brazil’s participation further strengthened the project’s role as a bridge between the local market and global opportunities.
