Invest in the largest economy in Latin America: Discover the opportunities of Brazil
Brazil is an attractive and thriving market, the 3rd largest recipient of foreign direct investment in the world (OECD - 2022), the largest in Latin America, with USD 85 billion, an increase of almost 70% compared to the USD50 billion recorded in 2021.
In its 6th edition, the Brasil Investment Forum (BIF), the largest event for foreign investment attraction in Latin America, will take place on November 7 and 8, at ‘Palácio Itamaraty’, in Brasilia, Brazil.
This year, besides showcasing great investment opportunities and addressing the Brazilian business environment, the event will introduce the new administration´s proposals and ongoing projects, especially those concerned with sustainability and industrialization themes, as well as various topics such as technology, innovation, and equity investment initiatives.
In a new and dynamic social and economic context, the BIF is the result of a partnership among the Brazilian Federal Government, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil).
BIF 2023 is an invitation only event.
