Inaugural Luncheon
Brazil has become a global economic player and is now the world's seventh largest economy. The nation is uniquely positioned to keep growing and will continue to be a preferred country for business leaders and investors around the world.
With the fourth largest GDP in the United States, Florida has become a favorite destination for Brazilian tourists as well as for business and investment opportunities, making Brazil its largest trading partner. In addition, the enviable lifestyle makes the sunshine state a business paradise.
The Brazil-Florida Business Council, Inc., a Tampa-based business association, was established to foster the bilateral trade and to drive economic growth between Brazil and Florida.
The Honorable Mayor of Tampa, Bob Buckhorn will deliver the welcome address and Gabrielle Mandel, USTDA Country Manager Brazil and Southern Cone, will be the keynote speaker. I hope you will be able to join me at this celebratory occasion and meet our distinguished guests.
As we enter 2015 with a renewed sense of energy and momentum, we hope to count on your contribution to the growth and development of the Brazil-Florida Business Council, Inc.
Thank you!
Sueli Bonaparte
President
Brazil-Florida Business Council, Inc
