Recent Government, Ministry and Stakeholder Meetings Discussing Support and the Economic Impact of Homerun's Development Plans
The establishment of Homerun's solar glass manufacturing facility in Bahia, Brazil marks a significant milestone in the State of Bahia's economic development and energy transition efforts. Recent meetings with key government officials have demonstrated strong support for this initiative:
Angelo Almeida, Secretary of State of Bahia for Economic Development, has expressed enthusiasm for the project's potential to boost local industry and reduce dependence on imported solar glass.
Luciano Giudice Torres, Superintendent of Investment Attraction and Fostering of Economic Development, and Paulo Henrique de Almeida, Director of the Economic Development Division, have been instrumental in facilitating discussions and providing guidance on investment opportunities in the region.
Carlos Borel, President of CBPM (Companhia Baiana de Pesquisa Mineral), and Lorena Fraga, Chief of Staff at CBPM, have offered valuable insights into the available local mineral resources that will support the manufacturing process.
The Government of Bahia has demonstrated its commitment to fostering domestic industry and reducing reliance on Chinese imports2. This aligns perfectly with Homerun's vision to create a robust, local supply chain for the inputs of the energy transition.
"The transition to a low-carbon economy is practically impossible without the critical and strategic minerals that Brazil and Bahia possess. We have potential, diversity and demand. We are the artifices of the future. Towards this end, CBPM is in search of partnerships like the one endorsed with Homerun, committed to sustainability and the energy transition", stated Carlos Borel, President of CBPM (Companhia Baiana de Pesquisa Mineral).
Armando Farhate, Chief Operating Officer for Homerun, stated, "The support we've received from the Bahia government has been exceptional. Their proactive approach and commitment to sustainable economic growth has been crucial in moving this project forward."
This collaborative effort between Homerun and the Bahia government is poised to create significant economic opportunities, including job creation, skills development, and increased foreign investment in the region. By establishing the first solar glass manufacturing facility in Bahia, Homerun is not only contributing to Brazil's renewable energy goals but also positioning the country as a leader in the global solar industry.
