Contagem-MG strengthens its strategic positioning and is featured in an exclusive publication focused on economic development.

The City’s Book team visited the Contagem City Hall on November 2025, to finalize details regarding the city's first edition.

In 2026, the municipality of Contagem will be part of a City Marketing initiative for the first time through the publication of City’s Book Contagem - MG, a bilingual publication that will showcase the city's economic and institutional potential.

To align the project, two meetings were held at the Contagem City Hall. The first was with the Undersecretary of Economic Development, Fabio Alves Barbosa, and the Superintendent of Institutional Relations, Bernardo Gomes. The second meeting was held with the Deputy Mayor, Dr. Ricardo Faria. The meetings aimed to define guidelines, editorial scope, and strategies for the creation of the edition dedicated to the municipality.

The publication, edited in Portuguese, English, and Mandarin, will compile data, indicators, and initiatives that reflect Contagem's best administrative practices, functioning as an institutional portfolio aimed at attracting investments and forming strategic partnerships.
