October 2-5 2017, Sao Paulo (Brazil)
The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency – Apex-Brasil – and Global Corporate Venturing are once again running the Corporate Venture in Brasil conference to develop corporate venture capital in Brasil. The goal is to give access to the Brazilian investment and entrepreneurial ecosystem for global and local corporate venturing units willing to approach, innovate and invest in the country.
The previous years’ events have had an audience of almost 600 people each, with more than 20 international corporations in attendance, as weell as 80+ Brazilian corporations and many local VCs, angels and accelerators.
This year the event will happen on October 3 and 4, and will present a mix of Corporate Venturing best practices from an international perspective, especially emphasizing the investment topic (management, equity, funds, companies’ growth, governance, etc.). It will also focus upon the Brazilian investment scenario, by hearing from local corporations and learning how they are investing and innovating. During the programme, between 10 and 20 companies are expected to present their solutions and investment opportunities.
You can take a look at the agenda and register your interest in attending the event here. But furthermore, in conjunction with the conference, we are gathering a delegation of corporate venturers to meet top level Brazilian corporates, VCs, startups and public authorities – the major players in the innovation and venture scene in Brazil and South America.
All delegates will get to attend Corporate Venture in Brasil 2017 and the Brazilian Venture Capital Annual Congress, where there are potential speaking invitations so that international guests can share their cases and lessons with the Brazilian audience. Apex-Brasil and its partners will also have the ability to offer private meeting scheduling if required.
If you have any more specific questions about the delegation please do get in touch and let me know at jmawson@mawsonia.com.
