The Commercial Knowledge Center aims at gathering
data on various areas such as economy, commerce, culture and tourism, and at making it available for research on the relations between Brazil and the
Arab countries.
The center is managed by a qualified librarian specialized in systematic research, who also feeds the archives with topics of interest to investors,
researchers, students and the general public interested in the culture of these countries. The archives include Brazilian and international literature
from different sources for local or online use in different languages.
Together with the market development department at the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, the space extends its communication and research to official
organizations so that they may produce and spread information. This collection is available to visitors to bring them closer to Arab and Brazilian
official sources.
At the Commercial Knowledge Center people interested in information can meet up with professionals from the Arab Chamber who are specialized in various
subjects. There is adequate infrastructure for users to collect information, either printed or in presentations, workshops and work meetings.
