Product overview

Brasscom (Associação das Empresas de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação e de Tecnologias Digitais) is Brazil's leading industry association for ICT and digital technologies, founded in 2004. Rather than offering a software product, Brasscom provides a portfolio of research publications, strategic initiatives, and industry events. The core offerings include the Relatório Setorial (annual sector economic report), Relatório de Diversidade (diversity and inclusion analysis), Monitor de Empregos e Salários (monthly employment tracking), and the pioneering Censo de Diversidade (diversity census). Strategic initiatives include the Plano Brasil Digital 2030+, a multi-sector proposal for Brazil's digital development. The association also organizes TecFórum Pocket regional events and produces studies on workforce development and youth employment in technology.
