Students will be exposed to five main ecosystems: Landscapes (coffee plantations, orange orchards); Laboratories (genetics, chemistry); Industry (ABC region, automakers); Logistics (port, dedicated terminals); Exchange (futures and commodities), the building blocks of the urban dynamics that made São Paolo the economic hub of South America.
