Every move across the Atlantic starts with one clear question. Gibson helps you answer it, then takes the first step with you.
ContactTwo continents, one working afternoon.
Europe and Brazil share four to five working hours every day. Used well, that overlap is enough to run a team, a negotiation or a shipment as if both sides sat in the same office.
1 May 2026EU–Mercosur interim agreement provisionally applied.
91%of EU goods exports to Mercosur become duty-free, many over 10–15 years.
4–5 hof shared working time between Southern Europe and São Paulo.
European summer time: 14–18, 4 h. Brazil keeps one time all year.
