What FGVces does

Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) is a Brazilian private non-profit educational foundation founded in 1944 and headquartered in São Paulo, operating multiple specialized schools across economics, business administration, law, public policy, international relations, applied mathematics, social sciences, and communication. The foundation serves individual students through four primary segments — undergraduate, graduate, MBA/executive education, and professional development — and acquires them via the Vestibular FGV entrance examination, ENEM scores, and international exam results, delivered across campuses in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Brasília plus select online programs.

The foundation's core technology base resides in applied mathematics, economics, data science, and AI research conducted principally through FGV EMAp (Escola de Matemática Aplicada, founded 2011), with faculty producing original ML publications in Nature-family journals and operating dedicated labs such as the Visual Data Science Lab and the Optimization and Control research group. FGV also operates research and dissemination arms including Editora FGV (publishing), FGV Conhecimento (contests and assessments), FGV Projetos (technical advisory), Casa Acervo FGV (cultural archive), and FGV Arte (cultural initiatives).

FGV's revenue model is tuition-driven across undergraduate, MBA, master's/doctoral, executive education, short-duration, and FGV In Company programs, supplemented by technical advisory services, publishing, and customized corporate training. The foundation monetizes its brand via a multi-channel GTM including institutional portals, individual school websites, social media across LinkedIn/Instagram/YouTube/TikTok/Spotify, in-person 'Experiência FGV' recruitment events in major Brazilian cities, webinars, and academic conferences.
