The metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais, Brazil, is the fifth largest industrial region of Latin America. Over the last decade, its GDP has grown more than that of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro respectively, while enjoying a nearly 30% lower cost of living. The area has successfully attracted foreign investment and has established itself as the second largest exporter in the country. FIEMG (The Federation of Industries of Minas Gerais) is an umbrella organization supporting the growth and sustainability of the industry in the state.
