Câmara Brasileira da Economia Digital

What Câmara Brasileira da Economia Digital does

Câmara Brasileira da Economia Digital (camara-e.net) is a Brazilian non-profit industry association founded on 07 May 2001 that represents the collective interests of digital economy companies operating in Brazil. It functions as a multistakeholder advocacy body rather than a technology vendor, convening more than 40 member companies — including Amazon, Google, Meta, Alibaba, Mercado Livre, iFood, Nubank, Airbnb, Stone, Mastercard, Expedia, Decolar, and the insurance federation Fenacor — to coordinate positions on public policy, regulation, and industry standards before government bodies such as ANPD, Banco Central do Brasil, CADE, CGI.br, Susep, AGU, and the Ministry of Justice. Its activities are organized through dedicated committees covering AI, Privacy and Data Protection, Open Insurance, Open Finance, Travel Techs, Connectivity, Accessibility, Competition, Advertising, Tax Affairs, Legal Matters, Payment Methods and Anti-Fraud, Trusted Digital Identities, and Member Affairs.

The association does not develop proprietary technology products. Its outputs are policy research, position papers, public consultations, committee working groups, educational content (most notably the GuiaOpen portal launched in August 2024 covering Open Insurance), industry events, and direct member communications. A research partnership with LabSec at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) supports doctoral research in cryptography, secure authentication, and threat detection for Open Finance and Open Insurance. Camara-e.net is recognized by the OECD as the principal multisectoral digital economy entity in Latin America.

Revenue is generated solely through recurring membership fees paid by associate companies; no public pricing, dues schedule, or financial figures are disclosed. The entity is governed by an Administrative Council elected by the General Assembly in two-year cycles, currently led by President Leonardo Elias (Via Internet), with Vice-Presidents Carla Comarella (Amazon) and Manuel Matos (Fenacor). Operations are headquartered at Av. Paulista, 2064, in São Paulo, Brazil.

Regional players

• BSA | The Software Alliance: Global trade association of enterprise software and cloud companies advocating on data, AI, privacy, and cybersecurity policy — overlapping camara-e.net's privacy, AI, and digital identity committee remit at international level.
• DigitalEurope: The leading European trade association representing digitally transforming industries. Operates the same enterprise-membership advocacy model as camara-e.net but at EU level, making it the closest international analog for benchmarking and partnership.
• ITI (Information Technology Industry Council): US-based global tech industry council that convenes leading platforms and software companies on AI, cybersecurity, and trade policy. A comparable policy-advocacy peer at global scope.
• CCIA (Computer & Communications Industry Association): US-based trade association representing platform, hardware, and software members in policy advocacy. Closely analogous model to camara-e.net in function (lobbying, regulatory submissions) and member profile.

Direct peers

• Brasscom: Brazilian Association of Information and Communication Technology Companies. Operates a parallel enterprise-membership and policy-advocacy model focused on Brazil's tech sector, recruiting many of the same large platform companies as camara-e.net.
• IAB Brasil (Interactive Advertising Bureau Brasil): Brazilian affiliate of the global IAB network, convening digital advertising, media, and platform members for standards and policy work. Overlaps directly with camara-e.net's advertising and ad-tech committees and member base.
• CNDL (Câmara Nacional dos Dirigentes Lojistas): National Chamber of Shopkeepers in Brazil — a Brazilian 'Câmara' association model that combines retail-sector advocacy with member services, structurally analogous to camara-e.net's chamber-style governance for digital commerce.
• ABFintechs: Brazilian fintech industry association representing digital financial services players. Overlaps with camara-e.net's payments, anti-fraud, Open Finance, and Open Insurance committees and with shared members such as Nubank and Mastercard.
• ABComm (Associação Brasileira de Comércio Eletrônico): Brazil's e-commerce industry association, serving as a closely comparable trade-body model to camara-e.net's e-commerce origins. Both associations recruit the same pool of Brazilian digital merchants and platforms, making ABComm the most direct domestic parallel.

Others

• CGI.br (Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil): Brazilian Internet Steering Committee — a multi-stakeholder governance body camara-e.net regularly partners with on Marco Civil, intermediary liability, and Article 19 consultations. Not a competing membership association but the closest adjacent governance counterpart.
