Caçapava has a military unit known as 12ª Brigada de Infantaria Leve, which is part of the national army force and is constantly ready to take part in national and international missions.
In telecommunications, the city was served by Companhia de Telecomunicações do Estado de São Paulo until 1975, when it began to be served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo.[3] In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012.[4]
The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).[4]
The city has a reasonable industrial activity with important industries, like Nestlé and Pilkington, among others:
It is expected that there will be an increase in the city's industrial activity after the completion of the local airport. The airport, named Aerovale by its developers, will be privately owned and operated and will function mainly as a business and cargo hub for the region.
Caçapava has only one Sister City, which is its namesake: Caçapava do Sul.
