Brazil requires R$800 billion ($133 billion) in investments to achieve a top-five rank in digital sovereignty by 2035, according to the Brazilian Institute for Digital Sovereignty. Despite being the ninth-largest economy and leading Latin America in digital access, Brazil imports nearly all of its semiconductors, with domestic production covering only 8% of demand. The country ranks 42nd globally for digital maturity, trailing Poland, Kazakhstan, and Thailand, and faces challenges in controlling its technology infrastructure and AI.
