Main APLs
Local Productive Arrangements (APLs) are agglomerations of companies, located in the same territory, that present productive specialization and maintain links of articulation, interaction, cooperation and learning among themselves and with other local actors, such as: government, business associations, institutions of credit, teaching and research.
Rio Grande do Sul maintains a program to promote APLs, allowing micro, small and medium-sized companies to organize and cooperate, enabling them to supply their products to a greater number of customers and destinations and developing their region.
