Brasilia (DF), February 25, 2026
The undersigned Associations regret that Bill 278/2026, which deals with incentives for data center infrastructure in Brazil, It has not been scheduled and approved by the National Congress on this date.
Brazil continues to widen its trade deficit in Computer and Information Services — which has already exceeded US$7.9 billion in 2025 — while global investors await the necessary legal certainty for... To invest resources in digital infrastructure in our territory.
The lack of adequate incentives doesn't just penalize companies and investors. It directly victimizes the entire Brazilian society: the worker who uses technology to start businesses and generate income, the young person who studies and connects to the digital world, the citizen who uses platforms for social interaction and entertainment, and the sectors that use digital services. Without competitive computing infrastructure in Brazil, we pay more, become more dependent on foreign countries, and fail to advance in technological autonomy.
The decision is a step backward.
It isolates the country from investments.
It is deprived of economic, technological, and innovative development.
It jeopardizes Brazil's future.
