*By Estela Damato, founder of Damato Partner Track
Building on the lessons we learned last year, we are kicking off 2025 with a significant step for Damato Partner Track: we are expanding our operations to New York, the heart of the global financial market. We will have a local team with expertise and connections in the North American context.
This decision reflects our commitment to developing robust international partnerships and facilitating transformative investments in infrastructure, sustainability, and economic development.
Opening a New York office reinforces our mission to connect major investment players with impactful opportunities. We aim to solidify our position as global facilitators of strategic investments in projects that transform communities and markets.
Strategies and goals for the first quarter
In our first quarter, we will focus on building relationships and conducting a strategic mapping of the DC-Miami-NYC triangle, key investment hubs of the U.S. market.
Our initial goal is to deliver quick results for our already established Brazilian partners and clients. These are strong organizations with compelling stories and proposals, and our mission is to attract international funding to catalyze their projects and goals.
Adapting to new international policies
Alongside the arrival of a Republican administration in the United States, which tends to be more conservative, we are also closely monitoring the dynamics of the U.S. – China hegemony, since the dispute for global leadership has driven the U.S. to develop more solid strategies in Latin America.
The ecosystem as a whole is pointing towards this scenario, for example, in the recent strategic shift of USAID, a development agency of the US government, which began to adopt an approach focused on economic growth in direct collaboration with multilateral banks.
By consolidating our presence in the United States, we aim to expand our operations into new markets. In the medium term, our priority will be connecting initiatives in the U.S., Brazil, and Latin America, but our vision is global: we plan to build strategic partnerships with investors in Europe (London), Asia (China and Japan), and the Middle East.
We want to be recognized as a global facilitator for major sustainable development projects, aligning our expertise with the demands of a constantly evolving investment ecosystem.
It is time for change
The global investment landscape is shifting, and Damato is adapting to this reality. We are transitioning from a model predominantly based on grants and aid to one focused on market development. This means creating tangible opportunities, especially in sectors such as infrastructure and economic development, laying strong foundations for sustainable transitions.
To navigate the investment market’s flow, experts like Damato are essential. After all, positioning and adapting to the ecosystem isn’t straightforward for a company.
With an experienced team and strategic connections, we are ready to lead this new phase. Our goal is to build bridges and pave the way for our partners’ success. To seize these international market opportunities, Damato is positioned as an essential ally in this process.
We invite you to join us on this journey of transformation and impact. Together, let’s build a more sustainable and prosperous future. Get in touch and be part of this evolution!
