As one of the world's most rapidly developing economies, with a GDP per head greater than either India or China, Brazil is simply too big a market to ignore.  It is the 10th largest economy in the world, on course to becoming the 5th one in the next 10-15 years, and is expected to grow 7% in 2010.

Brazil has a broad and sophisticated industrial base and the government continues its programme of privatisation and deregulation. With the World Cup in 2014 and Olympics 2016 both being hosted in the country, major investments will be made on infrastructure projects, which spells opportunity for British expertise in a wide variety of sectors.

Join us to learn more about how to tap into the vast opportunities in this market.
