While the State of Minas Gerais assumes the role of promoter and clearinghouse

for investments, it is aligned with the basic concepts of this new entrepreneurialculture, which involve:

overcoming bureaucratic bottlenecks that inhibit the adoption of performance-

based models of administration.

breaking with inefficient management practices.decentralizing and opening spaces for the involvement of the private sector in the

process of development.

managing fiscal crises, economic externalities, and imperfect contracts in the

credit markets;

overcoming the lack of clear regulatory function and market credibility;

Long-term planning: research and development programs that present an

investment portfolio for attracting private sector interest;

Coordination among diverse state development institutions: cutting waste,

redundancies, and loss of efficiency.

Minas Gerais presents Brazil with a new management model. Wehave left behind that motto that Public services are inefficient bynature. We are bringing private sector management methods , with

performance evaluation and the establishment of goals to beachieved. ( Governador Aecio Neves)EN

To achieve the efficacy the State Government has undertaken a

profound revision of its structure, including the empowerment of the

development apparatus with a greater flexibility in order to meet the new

demands of society .

The objective of Minas Gerais development is now to increase the

competitiveness of its economic base, targeting the states supply chains,

transforming comparative advantages into real and enduring competitive

advantages.

The new model requires the primacy of private initiative in determining

the economys dynamic as well as an elevated degree of openness to the

international economy.

State development agencies in partnership with the private sector, can

expand their activities in ways that serve the demand for investment

with more efficiency and rapidity and democratizes the access to the

States products and services.INTEGRATING
