Why Study Abroad in Sao Paulo?
To understand Brazil, you have to know São Paulo. It is the country’s largest city, a global crossroads of more than 20 million people, and the engine that drives Brazil’s economy. São Paulo is the heart of Brazil’s innovation economy and one of the most important business centers in the Southern Hemisphere. With the largest concentration of startups in Latin America, the city is where new ideas are tested, scaled, and launched into global markets. Students interested in technology, entrepreneurship, and global business will find São Paulo to be a living case study. Fintech, e-commerce, health tech, and creative industries all thrive here, supported by accelerators, investors, and an ever-expanding talent pool. But São Paulo is more than a marketplace. Its cultural diversity, street art corridors, music, and food scenes reflect the city’s role as a hub of constant exchange and reinvention. Studying here means not only learning about business models and emerging technologies, but also understanding the cultural context that drives them. About Sao Paulo some of our favorite quotes: "An estimated 20 million people live in greater São Paulo, making it the third-largest metropolis on earth. The numbers are dizzying: first-rate museums and cultural centers (150), world-class restaurants (12,500, covering 52 types of cuisine), experimental theaters and cinemas (420). Sampa’s nightclubs and bars are among the best on the continent (15,000 bars make for one hell of a pub crawl) and its restaurants are among the best in the world. Its relentless, round-the-clock pulse – a close cousin of London’s or New York’s – can prove taxing even for the fiercest hipster. Then again, it may just deliver the charge you need to discover one of the world’s great cities." says Lonely Planet "The largest city in South America, São Paulo’s cuisine and art is as multinational as its diverse population of 20 million. With the restaurants of the Jardins district serving every food imaginable to diners from around the world, you wouldn’t be out of place going to Sao Paulo just for the dining. But you’d be missing out on world-class museums, diverse and vibrant neighborhood tours, and crazy-good shopping." says Trip Advisor University
