The Commercial Knowledge Center was created with the aim of strengthening the relations amongst clients, partners and the Arab Chamber, fostering relations and promoting mutual commercial understanding.
The collection offers national and international publications addressing primarily subjects related to economics and business in Brazil and Arab countries. The main proposal of this place is to give support to exporters and importers by providing information in areas such as economy, business, administration and marketing.
The Commercial Knowledge Center also has reference books in Portuguese, Arabic, French and Spanish, as well as dictionaries, guides, videos, DVDs, magazines and further material related to trade, economy and business.
Users will benefit from this place, which offer information on all Arab countries. They no longer will have to go to different places in order to have access to information.
We offer complete infrastructure for full use, with multimedia resources and the support of a librarian in charge to help finding information.
The Commercial Knowledge Center is located on the premises of the Arab Brazilian Chamber at 326, Paulista avenue, 16th floor, Bela Vista.

Arabic Dictionary Online
The Arab Brazilian Chamber provides its users with the Arabic-Portuguese Dictionary of Prof. Dr. Helmi Nasr. The only online Arabic dictionary of Brazil.
Professor Helmi was appointed by the World Islamic League as one of the 21 wise men of Islam in the world and the only one in Latin America. In the Arab Chamber he is vice president of International Relations.
The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce relaunched the book "Elementary lessons in Arabic for non-speakers" (Lições elementares da língua árabe para os que não a falam), a basic manual of the language written by the Foreign Relations vice president at the organisation, Professor Helmi Nasr. Egyptian-born, Brazilian-naturalized, he was the founder of the Arabic course at the University of São Paulo (USP) and has lived in Brazil for 46 years.
This is only one of the Professor's works. He has already translated the Koran directly from Arabic into Portuguese. It has been in print since 2005 at the King Fahd Complex, in Medina, Saudi Arabia. He has also launched an Arabic-Portuguese dictionary and translated "New World in the Tropics," a book by Gilberto Freyre, into Arabic.
To help organizations to know better the Arab countries and markets and its opportunities, the Arab Brazilian Chamber has a specialized team of professionals to analize and generate economic, market and cultural information.
