International recognition, we have!

The president of the White Eagle Group, Kaumer Chieppe, has just won the Brazilian Jaguar Award – Businessman of the Year category, as an executive that contributed to the development of the 'Brazilian ounces' – the group of states that grows the most in the country: Espírito Santo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul. The title given to Kaumer and, consequently, to the Group, is linked to investments and expansion, and the delivery took place on the night of Monday, May 12, at Harvard Club, in New York, during the Brazilian Regional Markets event (BRM), held by Apex.

Focused on connecting national and international investors and companies to the opportunities of Brazilian regional markets, the BRM promotes debates on strategic sectors, infrastructure and innovation to strengthen economic development outside the RJ-SP axis, and editions take place in São Paulo, Brasília, Curitiba and New York. .

The BRM brought together governors, mayors, entrepreneurs, investors and institutional leaders, and in addition to the governor of Espírito Santo, Renato Casagrande, the governors Eduardo Leite of Rio Grande do Sul and Jorginho Mello of Santa Catarina participated.

That was the second time the event took place in New York. In the last edition, the BRM originated important investments. Among them, the signing of the contract for the construction of the Reuse Water Production Station in Vitória (ES) — an innovative project of R $ 2.2 billion signed between Cesan, the government of Espírito Santo and the multinational GS Inima.

And this year, during the meeting, Casagrande formalized the creation of Invest-ES, a business office with the aim of selling the potential and business opportunities of the State to the rest of the country and world. The initiative is inspired by models that already work in other states, such as Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo and Santa Catarina, and will act as facilitator for investors interested in opportunities in Espírito Santo.

The award of the Brazilian Jaguar of the Year Award, created to recognize personalities and governments that have been contributing to the advancement of regional markets, was the great novelty of this year's international edition. And besides Kaumer, who came home with the Brazilian Jaguar – category Government of the Year was Renato Casagrande.
