Belgian Economic Mission to Brazil
22.11 - 01.12.2024
A Belgian princely mission will be organised in Brazil from 22 November to 1 December under the presidency of Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid. Join hub.brussels’ delegation in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro for an economic program to explore this growing economy.
About the event
This is a national multisectoral mission organised by the Belgian Foreign Trade Agency in close collaboration with hub.brussels, AWEX, FIT, and the FPS Foreign Affairs.
Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, is currently the 9th largest economy in the world with over 200 million inhabitants. Much more than an emerging power, it is now an essential partner in terms of agricultural products, minerals, or renewable energies. With a notable return to the international stage, Brazil presents significant opportunities for Belgian companies, particularly with the ambitious investment and ecological transformation plans outlined by the government.
On the agenda are meetings and official receptions with local communities and authorities, company visits, sector-specific seminars, as well as informational sessions and networking.
Simultaneously, our economic and commercial advisor on site will help companies establish potential contacts in Brazil. Participating companies will be invited to communicate their information and requirements in advance.
Focus on the following sectors:
Sustainable industry: Chemistry, Pharmaceuticals, and Life Sciences broadly defined
Construction and infrastructure, Engineering, Architecture, and Sustainable Buildings
Energy, environment, and Cleantech
Financial services, Fintech
Digital technologies
Agro-industry
Tourism and Leisure including Cultural and Creative Industries
