QI Tech Takes 1st Place in EXAME’s Negócios em Expansão Award 2026
QI Tech has won the top category of the 5th edition of EXAME’s Negócios em Expansão award — Brazil’s largest entrepreneurship yearbook, produced in partnership with BTG Pactual Empresas with technical support from PwC Brazil. The company placed 1st among companies with net operating revenue between R$600 million and R$1 billion, the award’s highest revenue bracket.
The result reinforces QI Tech’s growth trajectory as one of Brazil’s leading technology infrastructure providers for financial services. This edition set a participation record, with 838 companies applying and 491 selected — together, these companies reported R$42 billion in net operating revenue in 2025, up 32% year-over-year.
A consistent track record of recognition
This is not QI Tech’s first recognition in the ranking: the company has previously placed 1st in earlier editions of the award, moving up categories as its revenue grew — a direct reflection of its client base expanding beyond banking into retail, telecommunications and other sectors.
“This achievement reflects the work of a team that builds, every day, the financial infrastructure we’re proud to deliver to the market. Leading this category shows we’re on the right path to becoming Brazil’s leading infrastructure for financial services.”
