Brazil is currently very much in the news, with the imminent start of the World Cup, to be followed by the 2016 Olympics. But aside from global sporting events, Brazil is an important export destination with the 6th largest economy in GDP terms ($2.2 trillion) and a broad and sophisticated industrial base; where consumers and businesses have developed high standards for quality and value for money. Brazilians need technical expertise and knowledge – both of which North East companies excel in.
