Social Impact Report presents FGV’s actions in the field of international productivity and cooperation
As well as having a strategic and constantly expanding network of academic partnerships, Fundação Getulio Vargas plays an essential role as a bridge between Brazil, governments and multilateral institutions.
The dynamics of productivity and international integration form an inseparable element for sustainable economic development in an increasingly interconnected context, in terms of countries, sectors of the economy and knowledge.
The relentless pursuit of efficiency, innovation and social impact, in all activities, forms the foundations for global integration, fostering leadership and the creation of original solutions.

In addition to its strategic and growing network of academic partnerships, which is expanding the dimensions of scientific knowledge generated in Brazil, Fundação Getulio Vargas plays an important role in supporting the country in its dialogue with governments and multilateral institutions.
Accordingly, in 2023, FGV continued to carry out research and to create and implement systemic projects and scientific exchange programs with numerous strategic players. FGV has been working intensively with the European Union, collaborating with civil society and governmental and non-governmental organizations in the United States, and embarking on the latest stages of one of the most ambitious agricultural technology programs ever set up for the African continent.
