Invest NI Trade Mission to Brazil
Mission Centre: Sao Paulo
2nd – 9th October 2010
Invest NI invites you to join our five day business Mission to Brazil. This Mission will be multi-sectoral and open to companies wishing to develop their exports to this region.
THE MISSION – WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE AND WHY?
With a population of over 200 million, Brazil is the 10th largest economy in the world and the leading economic power in South America. At present Brazil’s potential has only barely been tapped into; however with upcoming events such as the 2014 World Cup, Brazil’s profile, alongside its tremendous opportunities, is becoming more apparent to NI companies.
BRAZIL
Characterized by a large and well-developed mining, manufacturing, and service sector, Brazil's economy outweighs that of all other South American countries and is expanding its presence in world markets. The UK is one of Brazil’s largest foreign investors, and many large UK corporations have well – established operations in the country.
Brazil will be of particular interest to N. Ireland businesses working in the areas of;
Aerospace
Automotive
Biotechnology
Education
Electronics
Engineering
Environmental
Healthcare
ICT
Security
