Information technology industry
Recife has an area dedicated to information technology called "Porto Digital" (Digital Port). It was founded in July 2000 and has since attracted major investments. Generating some R$10 billion (Brazilian Reais) a year, it produces technology that is exported to Japan, China, among other countries. Software manufacturing is the main activity in the Porto Digital. The Porto Digital cluster comprises small and median companies, but multinationals like Motorola, Samsung, Dell and Sun Microsystems are also installed in Porto Digital. IBM and Microsoft transferred their regional headquarters to Recife. Major developments in the local cluster include web-based solutions as well as solutions in outsourcing, biometry, information security, IT infrastructure, mobility/wi-fi, distance education, and games. After six years of activity, Porto Digital has been expanded with new installations around Recife, other Brazilian states, and even foreign countries.

Porto Digital's startups can count on a ready pool of talent, courtesy of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), which boasts one of the best computer-science departments in all of Latin America. The school began teaching programmers to use Sun Microsystems Inc.'s (SUNW) Java language in 1996, the year it was introduced. Professors at the school also teamed up to launch Centro de Estudos e Sistemas AvanÃ§ados do Recife (C.E.S.A.R), a business incubator that has played a vital role in the birth of some 30 companies.

Campinas in the interior of sÃ£o paulo state is also a nice place to work with IT, besides SÃ£o Paulo itself. It's a great, but also calmer city compared to SP. There are dozens of IT companies there, including IBM.
If you wanna have more information, please feel free to get in touch with me, I live here! :)

Well, I was born in Recife and I lived there all my life. Recife is a lovely place to live in. It has good roads, good shopping, very good houses and apartments with sea-view (many of them), it's easy to drive in Recife, it has an international airport which includes flights to Europe. Recife also provides lovely hot weather, especially during Summer, beaches and great little towns around it that are a drive away: The perfect holiday/weekend.

However, Recife does have its bad points:

-Much of its population is poor
-Not too many good working options
-It is very unsafe

Living in Recife is mostly pretty cheap.

Hope that helps ;)
