São Leopoldo, the first city founded by German immigrants in Brazil, boasts a population of around 217,500 people. Renowned for its robust industrial base, it hosts companies like Stihl, SAP, Rexnord, Controil, and Taurus, spanning heavy industry, commerce, and IT. The strategic position of São Leopoldo - near Porto Alegre and along national highway 116 - enhances its significance in the region, making it a key player in Rio Grande do Sul's economic landscape.
Velopark, situated only a 20-minute drive from the city center, hosts the largest car and motorcycle races in Rio Grande do Sul state. Check out a regional tournament or join in one of the motor shows. You can even book the space for a corporate event.
