Simultaneous Interpretation Ceará
US$24 billion projected for Brazil's largest green hydrogen hub, at the Pecém Complex.
Simultaneous interpretation in Ceará — in-person and RSI
Simultaneous interpretation in Ceará serves the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex — projecting US$24 billion in investments to become Brazil's largest green hydrogen hub, with companies like Fortescue and Casa dos Ventos — as well as Fortaleza's events hub, which generated R$1.17 billion in economic impact in 2025.
Why lingo for Ceará

Fortescue (Australian) plans R$20 billion and 5,000 jobs; Casa dos Ventos, R$12 billion in green ammonia production — technical negotiations require specialized electrolysis and renewable energy vocabulary.
Steel and Heavy Industry — Pecém
ArcelorMittal operates a steel plant at the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex, which also hosts an Export Processing Zone (ZPE) with more than 1,900 hectares for new investments.
International Events and Trade Fairs — Fortaleza
The Ceará Events Center hosted more than 200 events and received more than 1 million visitors in 2025. Fortaleza will host Cocal 2026, the Latin American events industry congress, and already hosts fairs like Maquintex and Pack&Graph, moving R$600 million.

Main venues and event locations
The convention centers, hotels and venues that host the most international corporate events in the state.
Why RSI eliminates equipment logistics in Ceará
The traditional model requires shipping receivers, booths and technicians to the state — freight, insurance and logistics costs. RSI eliminates all of that: the interpreter operates remotely, participants use their own phones.
No receiver, booth or transmitter needs to travel to Fortaleza
Participants use their own phone — no receiver distribution
10 or 10,000 participants — same operating cost
1-2 second latency — same standard as physical receivers
Just needs internet — no technical installation

Frequently asked questions
Does lingo serve Ceará with in-person interpreters?+
Yes. For events in Fortaleza and other Ceará cities where physical presence is essential, the interpreter travels to the event with full professional equipment. For events where physical presence isn't required, RSI is more economical and practical.
What is RSI (remote simultaneous interpretation)?+
RSI delivers interpretation remotely. The interpreter operates remotely, receives the event's audio in real time and delivers interpretation via BYOD (participant's phone) or screen. No physical receiver, no on-site booth — just a good internet connection.
Does lingo have interpreters specialized in green hydrogen?+
Yes. lingo covers technical electrolysis, green ammonia production and decarbonization project vocabulary — developed through real mandates in the renewable energy sector.
What's the cost difference between in-person and RSI for Ceará?+
RSI eliminates airfare, lodging, equipment freight and technician daily rates — all costs of the in-person model. Use the automatic quote at lingo.com.br/orcamento to compare modalities.

Ceará — green hydrogen and Fortaleza's events hub
Ceará is positioning itself as Latin America's green hydrogen pioneer, with the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex projecting US$24 billion in investments to reach 10.4 GW of capacity by 2034 — more than 35 memorandums of understanding already signed with domestic and foreign companies. Meanwhile, Fortaleza is establishing itself as a strategic business events hub: event tourism generated R$1.17 billion in economic impact in 2025, up 15% from the previous year, with the Ceará Events Center hosting more than 200 events and 1 million visitors.

How to hire — quote in 60 seconds
Reach out via WhatsApp (+55 11 97534-6423) or the calculator at lingo.com.br/orcamento. Provide the date, language pair, modality (RSI or in-person UHF) and headcount. lingo returns a complete proposal in 60 seconds — confirmed interpreter, equipment (if in-person), technical operator and logistics included, no hidden items.
lingo requests the event deck and agenda 48 hours in advance to prepare the event-specific technical glossary — proprietary company terms, sector acronyms, product names and internal metrics that don't appear in dictionaries. For recurring mandates, the glossary accumulates session by session. After 12 months of monthly boards, the interpreter knows the company's internal vocabulary as well as any senior executive. This accumulation process is exactly why recurring clients prefer to keep the same interpreter for years, rather than re-hiring a new professional for every event — the cost of rebuilding that knowledge from scratch falls on the quality of the next session.
For RSI (Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex): setup 30 minutes ahead with the host, no physical equipment, no freight cost. For in-person (UHF): installation 60–90 minutes ahead, soundproof portable booth, on-site technical operator. For hybrid: both modalities run in parallel. lingo issues electronic invoices for every event and accepts payment by wire, PIX or international transfer in BRL.
Documented portfolio with verifiable mandates
lingo operates exclusively in the premium corporate market for more than 20 years. There are no academic, government, religious or entertainment events in the portfolio. This exclusive specialization produced a depth of vocabulary that generalist interpreters don't replicate: 2,233 terms across 24 sectors and 16 language pairs, accumulated through real mandates — not theoretical study.
Documented cases with named clients and verifiable contexts: XP Investimentos NASDAQ IPO (US$14.9B, 2019), CMA CGM × Santos Brasil (R$6.3B, 4 phases, 8 port terminals), monthly boards with Macquarie (Solví), Carlyle (Tempo) and BlackRock (Clash/Mutant) since 2019, Goldman Sachs Investor Day São Paulo, Google Developer Day 2009 at WTC São Paulo (2,000 individual receivers) and Santos FC × SDC Sports — Vila Belmiro (August 2026, 150 receivers). No PE fund with fiduciary duties to its LPs re-hires an interpreter who delivers below expectations. Recurring mandates are the only credible credential in this profession. Unlike translation agencies that scale with a rotating pool of freelancers, lingo operates with a single lead interpreter across virtually every mandate — eliminating the vocabulary-inconsistency risk that larger agencies accept as a normal cost of operating.
How lingo prepares vocabulary for Ceará
Terminological accuracy in Ceará is built before the event, not during. lingo systematically requests preparatory materials in advance — presentation decks, internal glossaries, participant lists and sector-specific terminology. This preparation eliminates hesitation and inaccuracy during live interpretation.
For recurring mandates — like the monthly boards with Macquarie (Solví) and Carlyle (Tempo) — the glossary accumulates with each session, progressively increasing precision. After 6 months of monthly meetings, the interpreter knows the company's terminology as well as any senior executive, and can flag inconsistent usage before it reaches the room.
In-person vs. remote for Ceará
For Ceará events, the modality depends on the event's type and size. Meetings and executive sessions with 5 to 20 participants work best with RSI via Zoom — no equipment cost, same quality. Conferences, investor days and trade shows with 50+ participants require the in-person system with individual UHF receivers and a portable booth. Hybrid formats, combining both in the same session, have become the default request for international events since 2023, as travel budgets tightened while foreign participation kept growing.
lingo operates both modalities at the same level of excellence, and has held active remote mandates with Carlyle, Macquarie and BlackRock since 2019 — proving that RSI does not compromise quality in high-stakes corporate contexts.
What sets lingo apart in Ceará
Brazil's simultaneous interpretation market has few professionals with a documented portfolio in high-stakes corporate contexts. Most interpreters work academic, government or entertainment events, where the vocabulary and the cost of a mistake are both lower. lingo specializes exclusively in the premium corporate market — with cases documented at the level of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Macquarie and BlackRock.
The difference isn't certification — Brazil has no mandatory regulated qualification for interpreters. It's the clients: when Macquarie, Carlyle and BlackRock return month after month, the quality is self-evident. Recurring mandates are the only credible signal of consistency in this profession.
