Raul_Papaleo_photo

During this April we are preparing our next events for the May - June timeframe. We are going to address on those events several important topics, being the most significant the "Sustainability Innovation in Brazil: A Chance to Lead" and the "Doing Business in Brazil".

We will have, also, an event in Montreal with Abina Dann, Canadian Consul-General in São Paulo, which will address Business Opportunities in Brazil by Sector.

Our Chamber will be part of a significant CVCA event in Vancouver in May 27th, coordinating a panel on Sustainability.

The Brazil Canada Chamber of Commerce is participating on a "Digital Connection" Trade Mission, a series of meetings that will focus on Digital Media opportunities arising in Brazil for the World Cup in 2014, and the Olympic Games in 2016. During June BCCC aiming to foster partnerships in that area between Canadian and Brazilian producers will support several events that will be held in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

We count on all of you to participate on those events and on the next newsletters and BCCC communications you will find more details and further information.

 

       Sincerely,

 

Raul Papaleo

President
