Rio set to attract international investors during London Olympics

Or should we say: Rio takes off?

The city of Rio de Janeiro’s investment promotion agency – Rio Negocios – will hold events to attract global investments to the region during the London 2012 Olympics. The agenda in London includes a series of sector-based panels and networking events followed by a roadshow in some European cities. I am honored to be part of Rio Negocios’ team of advisors in Europe.

Conferences and one-on-one meetings

We will be organizing one-on-one meetings with companies interested in investing in Brazil. This is a chance to hear the Rio story and explore ways to access opportunities in the region, including in the energy, high-technology, healthcare and audiovisual sectors.

Casa Brasil – Somerset House

Located in the heart of London, Casa Brasil is the official home of the Brazilian Olympic and Paralympic delegations during the 2012 Games.  In addition to the business events, Casa Brasil will have an extensive agenda, including activities such as an art exhibition.  It is also an occasion to meet Brazilian personalities, including the mayor of Rio – Eduardo Paes.  Check the agenda of Rio Negocios’ panels and conferences in London: Rio Conferences website.
