Illinois District Export Council #ILDEC’s Post

Tomorrow, October 31, 2024 at 1:00pm EST, the U.S. Commercial Service at the U.S. Consulate General, São Paulo, Brazil will provide information on why should U.S. businesses consider Brazil. Brazil is a continental opportunity. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, and with the largest consumer market and GDP in South America, Brazil is an excellent market for experienced U.S. exporters seeking to tap into its diversified economy. The United States is Brazil’s second largest trading partner due to a robust commercial relationship and a shared commitment to mutual prosperity.  Brazil possesses the third largest economy (US $1.92 trillion in 2022) and the second largest population (215 million) in the Western Hemisphere. Brazil’s geographic territory is larger than that of the contiguous United States and Brazil shares a border with every country in South America, except two (Ecuador/Chile). Brazil is the world’s fifth largest internet economy (with over 177.1 million users) and the increase in mobile connectivity allows for over 94% of the Brazilian population to use the internet. Brazilian consumers are highly digital, with strong social media usage, and most companies and consumers use a Brazilian payment system called “PIX” for instantaneous payments and cash transfers. Doing business in Brazil requires in-depth knowledge of the local environment, including the high direct and indirect costs of doing business, commonly referred to in Portuguese as the “Custo Brasil” or “Brazil Cost.”  Join us to learn more about the largest consumer market in Latin America, Brazil! Attendees will learn about five markets and how to participate in Trade Winds - The Americas in April 2025. Attendees will hear, firsthand, from the experts about the region’s market potential, as well as business opportunities.  Registration Cost: $25 per webinar, per participant. Prior to submitting payment, please select the webinar(s) of interest. https://lnkd.in/ggqFS9T9
