Growth Plan: Embraer to Invest US$ 3.5 Billion by 2030

Embraer, a global leader in the aerospace industry, plans to invest approximately US$ 3.5 billion by 2030. The announcement was made during the ceremony for "Mission 6 of the New Industry Brazil (Nova Indústria Brasil/NIB) - Technologies of interest for national sovereignty and defense," held in Brasília.

The event was attended by Brazil’s President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and other authorities.

The investment forecast aligns with the company’s recent practices and Embraer’s growth plan for the next five years, which includes increased aircraft production, business expansion in international markets, and the development of sustainable technologies, with the goal of a low-carbon economy in the aerospace industry. One highlight is the eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle) manufactured by EVE, backed by Embraer S.A.

"The New Industry Brazil program plays an essential role in the resumption of the country's competitiveness. The partnership with Embraer, and with the entire Defense Industrial Base, will continue to be fundamental to encouraging exports of Brazilian products, as well as the generation of qualified jobs and income, also guaranteeing the mastery of critical technologies aimed at national sovereignty," said Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO of Embraer.

The successful history of cooperation between government, universities, and industry strongly contributes to Brazil remaining at the forefront of innovation, especially in a highly technological and competitive environment such as the aerospace and defense sector.

The partnership has been equally important for talent retention and development. With 23,500 employees worldwide, of which 18,000 are in Brazil, Embraer's current workforce already exceeds pre-pandemic levels. The company has generated more than 2,500 jobs in the last two years and maintains continuous investment in training and professional qualification programs.
