Inkemia has announced the launch of its Brazilian subsidiary. The subsidiary, which is named Inkemia IUCT Group Tecnologia, will begin activities immediately from its Sao Paulo base. Inkemia first announced its intention to open a Brazilian subsidiary in December 2013.

The Brazilian government is likely to be amenable to the opening of a local subsidiary by the biotech, as encouraging R&D investment in the country to facilitate technological advancements to stay internationally competitive remains high on the political agenda.
