Brazil Summit Europe

23 – 24 April 2022

A two-day conference that will reunite political leaders, entrepreneurs, civil society actors, and academics to discuss Brazilian public policies at the Hertie School in Berlin. What can we learn from each other? How can we enhance cooperation and what are the underlying opportunities?

Why a Brazilian Summit in Europe?

Coming from a strong political polarization, Brazil will face presidential elections at the end of 2022, a crucial moment to impact the country’s agenda. Our aim is to foster discussions and exchange experiences between Brazilian and European leaders, politicians, and academics.

Planed Discussions

Brazil Summit Europe will bring to Berlin leading actors from the private and public sectors across diversified panel discussions that will address different policy issues.

The Summit will cover

Trending Brazilian industries for foreign investment

Digital governance policies

Universal access to health care and the Covid-19 crisis management

The promotion of democratic values.
