| History |
Fundação Dom Cabral has been studying international businesses for over 20 years and, specifically, the internationalization of companies for over one decade. This effort has led to books, research, articles and seminars, both domestic and international. In 2000 the institution formalized its focus in this area through the Global Players project, a partnership between FDC and a group of multinational Brazilian companies. The project’s activities included capturing, systematizing and sharing existing knowledge about internationalization, and its aim was to help the companies advance their own internationalization processes.
In 2005 FDC created the International Business Center, whose aim was to contribute to the development of knowledge in company strategies and internationalization processes, thus moving beyond the frontiers of foreign trade, meaning to understand the global movements of international businesses.
As time has gone by, Fundação Dom Cabral has created greater knowledge on the subject and thus consistently helped Brazilian companies that are going through an internationalization process, besides developing research project about the various topics related to international businesses.
In 2006 FDC completed its strategic planning for the next 20 years and defined internationalization as a strategic pillar for this period |
