There is no doubt that there's a 'buzz' about Brazil. Low foreign debt and an agile response from the Lula administration has spared the Brazilian economy the worst effects of the global credit crunch. A raft of measures put in place to improve good governance and create a better business climate is paying off as more and more international investors demonstrate their confidence in the awakening regional giant.
Now on the brink of an infrastructure boom since winning host nation status for both the World Cup (2014) and the Olympic Games (2016), the Brazil buzz just got 'buzzier.' With plenty of still untapped potential, the country - tipped to be the growth story of 2010 - looks set to enter a dynamic period of renewed economic growth.
Things really are beginning to swing Brazil's way.
On a year-long 'tour' across key markets, these high-profile briefings will draw together Brazil 'champions', industry pioneers from a range of sectors, and senior-level policy-makers to examine Brazil's investment opportunities over the next five years and identify the obstacles to be overcome.
Why attend?
This series of C-suite-level briefings and dinners, in partnership with HSBC, will be packed with practical information on Brazil's significant investment opportunities, the implications of the general election in October 2010, and what your company can do to capitalise on this burgeoning growth in a sustainable and socially responsible way.
