Fiesp Cutural Center (Headquaters of the Industry association São Paulo State), The Fiesp is a cultural center that has three main spaces: an art gallery with exhibitions, a theater for performing arts & shows, and also a space for film screenings, lectures and workshops. Entry is free and only some shows and concerts require a ticket for admission. As for the FIESP, its history intertwines with the history of the country. The expansion of manufacturing in Brazilian soil, gained momentum at the end of the First World War (1914-18). Shortages in Europe reduced the flow of imports towards this side of the Atlantic, making room for Brazilian entrepreneurs willing to meet demand. The result is that already in 1920 the number of registered industries came to 4,458.
At the time, industrialists gathered at the Commercial Association of São Paulo. The need to form a political-institutional representation led to the founding of the Center of São Paulo State Industries (Ciesp) in 1928.

Thus returned to active, in 1942, the Ciesp, as civil society organizations involved in Fiesp, with the original purposes 1928 adapted to the moment.

Today, the Fiesp struggles primarily for the Brazilian competitiveness, with claims to reduce production costs and contain deindustrialization.
