the second-largest city in the state of Goiás and a thriving industrial municipality
has designs on capitalizing on its central location and to become a national reference point for logistics
The city council has numerous large transportation and infrastructure projects in the pipeline
all of which guarantee companies an ideal location for local and national growth.Aparecida de Goiânia currently has four industrial hubs
comprised of logistics and industrial companies
The city’s proximity to the state capital Goiânia – just 12 miles away – in particular has attracted several important industries
“Geographic location is the main advantage we have
as well as the potential to set up more industrial clusters in a wide range of areas,” says Luiz Alberto Maguito Vilela
“The biggest wholesalers in Brazil are here
and the largest companies in the country are investing in Aparecida to set up their distribution operations
Brazil has already taken note of Aparecida
now it is up to the world to do so.”The city is currently undergoing major urbanization and industrialization
both of which require considerable amounts of investment and private sector participation
culverts and security were – and still are – being made through partnerships between the city council and the private sector
This is in addition to collaborations with public authorities at state and federal levels,” says Mr
“The private sector invests on average US$1 billion a year in the municipality
the municipality has experienced exceptional growth due to the fact that we managed to address problems with our infrastructure and thus attract many companies here.”Aparecida de Goiania’s GDP went from about R$4.5 billion in 2009 to R$6 billion by the end of 2010
Approximately 15,000 jobs were generated and investments in industrial districts added more than 120 companies

As one of Brazil’s top compound archers, the Paralympian made the able-bodied team for the first time in 2016, finishing 17th at the Hyundai Archery World Cup stage in Medellin, Colombia.
She carried the Olympic torch through Goiania, her hometown, and competed at the Paralympic Games in Rio.
Although the result at the Games wasn’t quite what she wanted – Jane finished 5th – she leveraged the Paralympic experience to more national and international success, including at the recent Fazza tournament in Dubai, and wants to motivate others, especially children, to pursue their dreams.
Jane, husband Goachim and Gustavo Mendanha, major of Aparecida de Goiania, have started to work on an archery school for both able-bodied and impaired children aged 12 and up in the region.
The archery range, which will be located in the city’s Olympic Centre (Centro Olimpico da Aparecida de Goiânia in Portuguese), is set to be 100% inclusive. The goal is to both promote the sport of archery and give children with impairment a positive perspective of life.

“This project will have a tremendous impact in the city of Goiania because I can show ways, possibilities and prove to people that impairment doesn’t stop you from being good in what you want, that it’s up to each person,” said Jane.
“Archery is a sport with a 100% inclusion in which able and disabled archers can compete against each other, something that’s not possible in other sports.”
Joachim has worked with national para athletes in a number of sports.
“This project can bring future benefits to Brazil because it might help us find prospect athletes that can follow Jane’s steps. It will be very important for children to have her so close and use her as an example,” said Joachim.
“I think understanding the difference between a top level athlete and one who wants to train for leisure will be key in the process.”
While the construction of the archery field progresses, an alternative range has been arranged to get the project underway. Lessons will initially be free and schedules are already available on the City’s Hall website.
