The problem & the solution
Two opposite worlds. Deeply complementary.
Ideas
- Talent and inventors
- Big ideas and pent-up demand
- Creativity and market vision
- Industries hungry for innovation
Infrastructure
- Suppliers in every field
- Factories, labs, and engineering
- Speed and low cost
- Complete supply chains
Colabtec exists to connect these two sides — run by a Brazilian with real infrastructure in Zhuhai.
The ecosystem
12 programs. One bridge.
Every need has a clear path — from an idea on paper to an operation up and running in China.
For those who create, learn, and explore
Inventors, engineers, devs, and students who want to experience China's innovation scene firsthand.
For those who validate, scale, and produce
From startups with an MVP to manufacturers ready to set up operations in China.
Education and technology
Original insight on China and applied software for the ecosystem.
Ideas don't cross the ocean on their own.
They cross with method, people and a factory on the other side.
Meet those who crossedBrazilian ideas that won over the world
A documentary series filmed in China, no rehearsed script: the people who crossed the bridge tell you how it went.

The pen that stopped going in the trash

The idea in Minas Gerais
An innovative device that refills whiteboard markers — real savings for schools and teachers, less plastic in the trash.

A promising start in Brazil
Product validated, first customers, and one certainty: to truly grow, it had to be produced at a whole other scale.

Meeting Colabtec
In Zhuhai, Alcancci accessed engineering, laboratories, and suppliers to redesign the product for volume production.

Global scale
From bench to production line: the device made ready for worldwide manufacturing and distribution — without giving up the original idea.
Physical base in China
Not a promise. Real infrastructure in Zhuhai.
Zhuhai Colabtec Technology shares a building with Zhuhai Kameda Technology — the Brazilian-founded manufacturer that has been developing hardware, firmware, and products for Brazilian companies since 2006. Colabtec taps into that technical base whenever a project needs it.

First things first
Entering China is easier than it looks.
Before we talk about factories, labs, and products — the practical question: how do you actually get in? Today the answer is simpler than most people think.
30-day exemption for Brazilians
Since June 2025, Brazilian ordinary-passport holders can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days — for business, tourism, visiting family or friends, exchange, or transit. It's a policy currently in force (renewed periodically): always confirm the current status before booking your flight.
30 days
visa-free for Brazilians — business, tourism, or a visit
50+ countries
currently get the same exemption to enter China
10 years
business visa validity with our invitation letter
Also applies to other nationalities
Not Brazilian? The same 30-day exemption currently applies to 50+ countries — including virtually all of Europe, the UK, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Japan, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
Want to stay longer than 30 days?
Colabtec handles your long-stay visa.
We issue the invitation letter and provide advisory for the Brazil–China business/tourism visa: 90 days per entry, up to 180 days per year, 10-year validity. Valid for business, tourism, and family visits — it does not permit paid employment in China.
Immigration policies change frequently. Reference information — always confirm the current status with the embassy or consulate before you travel.
Ideas, people, and business in motion
The bridge isn't a metaphor: it's a stage, a bench, a factory, and a dinner table. This is how Brazil and China meet at Colabtec.
