IBM Research – Brazil is one of twelve [[research laboratory|research laboratories]] comprising IBM Research,<ref name="auto"/> its first in [[South America]].<ref>{{cite web |author= |title=IBM Research - Brazil - Locations |url=https://research.ibm.com/labs/brazil/ |access-date=28 December 2022 |website=IBM Research |date=9 February 2021 |publisher=IBM |archive-date=28 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221228173259/https://research.ibm.com/labs/brazil/ |url-status=live }}</ref> It was established in 2011, with locations in [[São Paulo]] and [[Rio de Janeiro]]. Research focuses on Industrial Technology and Science, Systems of Engagement and Insight, Social Data [[Analytics]] and [[Natural Resources]] Solutions.

The new lab, [[IBM]]'s ninth at the time of opening and first in 12 years, underscores the growing importance of emerging markets and the globalization of innovation.<ref name=WSJ>{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703302604575294820196514024|title=IBM To Open Research Lab In Brazil|first=Spencer E.

Engineer and associate lab director Ulisses Mello explains that IBM has four priority areas in Brazil: "The main area is related to [[natural resource management|natural resources management]], involving oil and gas, mining and agricultural sectors. The second is the social data analytics segment that comprises the analysis of data generated from [[social networking]] sites [such as Twitter or Facebook], which can be applied, for example, to financial analysis. The third strategic area is [[nanotechnology]] applied to the development of the smarter devices for the intermittent production industry. This technology can be applied to, for example, blood testing or recovering oil from existing fields. And the last one is smarter cities."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nearshoreamericas.com/brazilian-research-labs-ibm-natural-resources/|title=IBM's Brazil Research Labs Target Natural Resources, Data Analytics and Nanotechnology|first=Silvia|last=Rosa|date=June 10, 2014|access-date=February 9, 2020|archive-date=March 21, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200321151511/http://nearshoreamericas.com/brazilian-research-labs-ibm-natural-resources/|url-status=live}}</ref>
