The 2nd Foro Brasil España has the goal to strengthen the relationship between Brazil and Spain, involving students and businessmen from both countries in discussions that guided Brazilian economy and politics in the last years, generating more engagement with the markets and its current situation. We prioritized this relationship through discussions about the “possible Brazil”, suggesting opportunities of wealth and jobs generation, spearheading the post-election scene and the biggest period of crisis that the country lived.
All the debate will be made in the format of round tables and panels with important names from both national and international scenes. At Foro, a diverse group, compounded by businessmen, journalists, politicians and other opinion makers will debate topics like politics, economy, diversity, press influence, challenges and opportunities in the postelection scene.
