The Israeli market in Brazil

Israel is one of Brazil's fastest-growing commercial partners — with joint ventures in agtech (irrigation technology, agricultural drones, seed biotech), defense (Elbit Systems, Rafael, IAI) and financial services (Israeli PE funds with Brazilian portfolio). The most documented case in the lingo portfolio: 3corações × Strauss Group — quarterly boards HE↔PT since 2020. The Strauss Group (Israel) is a shareholder in 3corações, Brazil's largest coffee company.

Modern Israeli corporate Hebrew uses many anglicisms — startup, board, due diligence, exit, KPI — which facilitate the bridge to Brazilian corporate Portuguese. The specificities lie in the syntactic structure and the formal governance register expected in board meetings.

HE↔PT lingo interpreter — selection criteria

lingo selects interpreters with specific experience in the Israeli–Brazilian corporate context — professionals who understand the business culture on both sides: Israeli objectivity and speed of decision vs the Brazilian relational process.

Lingo Qi Interpretações LTDA (CNPJ 53.834.741/0001-34) issues Brazilian electronic invoices for all events. Process can be conducted in English, Hebrew or Portuguese.

When Hebrew is needed in financial meetings

Demand for interpretation between Hebrew and Portuguese appears in three contexts: boards of Brazilian companies with Israeli shareholders, meetings of Israeli private equity funds with their portfolio companies in Brazil, and joint venture negotiations between groups from the two countries. The most documented case is that of 3corações with Strauss Group, in quarterly boards interpreted since 2020, in which the presentation of results and the governance discussions take place in both languages.

Not every meeting with Israelis requires Hebrew. Startups and technology companies usually work in English, while traditional groups, such as Strauss, may prefer Hebrew internally. lingo confirms the working language with the organizer before the quote, and the HE↔PT pair is only hired when it makes a difference to the meeting.

Sectors of interest: agtech, defense and finance

Israel is one of Brazil's fastest-growing trading partners, with joint ventures in agtech, such as irrigation, drones and biotechnology, in defense and in the financial sector. Each of these sectors brings its own vocabulary, and lingo prepares the glossary according to the subject of the meeting: governance and finance for boards and private equity, technical terms for agtech and defense projects. The simultaneous interpretation for agribusiness page gathers the field vocabulary.

Modern corporate Hebrew uses many anglicisms, such as startup, board, due diligence and exit, which eases the bridge to corporate Portuguese. The difficulties lie in sentence structure and in the formal register of governance. The interpreter has to move from the objectivity and speed of decision that mark Israeli business culture to the more relational pace of the Brazilian side, without losing the content of either.

Meetings in Israel, remote and hybrid

Many meetings between the two countries take place remotely. In these cases, lingo works through RSI, with the interpreter connected to the platform chosen by the organizer and the interpretation channel set up 30 minutes beforehand. For in-person meetings in Israel, lingo coordinates a local interpreter. See the remote simultaneous interpretation page and the hybrid events page.

For this pair, the recommended lead time is 7 days, the time needed to confirm an interpreter with Israeli–Brazilian corporate experience and prepare the glossary. In processes under NDA, signing comes before any material. The quote amount is the final invoice amount, and the page on how much simultaneous interpretation costs in SP explains the price factors. For boards and mergers, see also the page on board of directors meetings.

How the hiring process works for this pair

1. Get in touch via WhatsApp (+55 11 97534-6423) or lingo.com.br/orcamento. State: event date, language pair (PT + specific language), type of event (board, due diligence, congress), number of participants and modality (RSI or in-person UHF). Alex Barros replies within 60 seconds with the availability of the specialized lingo interpreter and a complete proposal.

2. After the proposal is accepted, Alex Barros confirms the lingo interpreter and requests the event deck, the agenda and any internal glossary available — ideally sent 7 days ahead for non-English pairs, or 48h for EN↔PT. The interpreter prepares the technical glossary specific to the sector and the type of event. For processes with an NDA, lingo signs before receiving any material.

3. On the day of the event: RSI — the interpreter joins the call 30 minutes early with the host to test the interpretation channel; in-person UHF — lingo arrives 60–90 minutes early to install and test the full system. In both modalities, the interpreter works throughout the event, covering presentation + Q&A + informal discussions in the working language. After the event, new terms are added to lingo's accumulated glossary for future mandates of the same client or sector.

Lingo Qi Interpretações LTDA (CNPJ 53.834.741/0001-34) issues an electronic invoice (nota fiscal) for all events. It accepts TED, PIX and international transfer in BRL. The hiring process can be conducted in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

Accumulated glossary by sector and language

lingo's master glossary is structured by sector and by language pair — it is not a generic list of financial terms in two languages, but a terminology map built from real mandates. For each sector, the glossary covers: proprietary terms used by the client company; internal acronyms that do not appear in dictionaries; names of projects, products and internal metrics; and the procedural vocabulary specific to the type of event (M&A, due diligence, board, congress, roadshow).

Building the glossary for each new mandate starts with the materials sent by the client — presentation deck, agenda, internal glossaries, contract excerpts with specific terminology. For recurring mandates (monthly boards, multi-phase due diligences), the glossary grows with each session: terms that come up in the live Q&A are added immediately after the event. After 12 months of monthly boards with the same client, the interpreter knows the company's internal vocabulary as well as any senior executive — including terms that never appear in any publication of the sector.

For this specific language pair, the glossary includes the linguistic nuances of each corporate culture: the false cognates that cause errors in interpreters without specific experience in the sector; the differences in formal register between executives of the two countries; and the governance vocabulary that exists only at the intersection between each country's legal-corporate system and the Brazilian transaction context. These are the details that distinguish a specialized interpreter from a bilingual generalist.

To request a quote for this language pair and sector, get in touch via WhatsApp +55 11 97534-6423 or lingo.com.br/orcamento. Alex Barros confirms the availability of the specialized lingo interpreter and replies with a complete proposal within 60 seconds. The hiring process can be conducted in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
