While Silicon Valley chases venture capital, Minas Gerais built a $15M public research engine that processes 33,000 monthly visits with the efficiency of a startup. FAPEMIG isn't just a grant agency—it's a digital-first institution redefining how governments fund science.

"In a world where public institutions are notoriously slow, FAPEMIG operates with startup-like digital adoption—761 employees serving 33,000 monthly visitors through a modern tech stack."

The platform's success lies in its laser focus on user intent. Top keywords reveal precise researcher needs: 'bolsa fapemig' (700 monthly searches), 'edital bolsa pós doutorado' (610). This isn't generic traffic—it's highly qualified leads at the exact moment they need funding. The 95.6% domestic traffic share shows FAPEMIG has captured the local market so completely that international interest is almost an afterthought.
