Job Market

      According to the observatory of the Santa Catarina Association of Technology (Acate), the state of Santa Catarina generates approximately R$ 15.8 billion, representing 5.8% of the state's GDP. In this amount, 11,200 companies contribute to the development of technology in Santa Catarina. Half of them were established in the last four years.

 With 51,800 employees, Santa Catarina is the 4th largest hub in the Technology sector in Brazil, behind only the three most populous states (SP, MG, and RJ). Another relevant fact is that the state ranks second in terms of students with higher education in technology-related courses. Even in a low-growth scenario, the number of companies has doubled in the last three years.
