Campinas

Resources for foreigners

Due to the high concentration of multinational and foreign-controlled companies, Campinas has developed a unique and resourceful structure to welcome and to serve executives and workers from other countries who reside in the city. There are two primary/secondary schools that teach in English or German and follow the Northern hemisphere school calendar, the American School of Campinas and the Colégio Visconde do Rio Branco (German). Campinas is also the seat of a branch of the American Chamber of Commerce. A number of high-level walled housing condominiums such as Gramado, Alphaville, and others, provide world-class comfort and security at reasonable prices. Hotel and restaurant infrastructure is excellent and plentiful, with many international chains operating in the city, such as Accor and Meliá. A Convention & Visitors Bureau exists in the city and is very helpful. A big convention center of international class is available at the Royal Palm Hotel, and videoconferencing facilities for rental are available at the Campinas Videoconference Center (at Edumed Institute).
