Carlos Biedermann lives in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre, where he heads the capital projects and investments division of consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). His newly created team advises states and the federal government on the development of transport, logistics and energy networks in the country, and was set up in response to the growing number of business opportunities generated by Brazil’s urgent need for infrastructure.
“Brazil is living in a unique moment,” says Mr Biedermann. “I am 58 years old and I have never in my whole life seen a moment like this.” The country has been growing at such a speed that Brazil’s existing infrastructure struggles to support it.
