Rio Day Montreal: Invest in Rio de Janeiro – The Gateway to Brazil
The BCCC and The Industries Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN System) are pleased to invite you to participate in the “Rio Day Montreal” that will take place at the Intercontinental Hotel, on November 15th 2012, from 9:30am to 1pm.
Rio de Janeiro has advanced enormously over the past decade with thriving social and economic development. The per capita income for the country’s second-largest economy has more than doubled since 2000, surpassing the national average. In addition, the state continues to make a name for itself on the international scene. In fact, Rio de Janeiro is recognized as a leading destination for foreign tourists in Brazil, is a national and international benchmark in the audio-visual sector and has made clear advances in public security, in particular with the setting up of the police peacekeeping units in the state capital, which will host the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. At the same time, it is the largest national producer of oil and gas, with oil reserves comparable to those of the world’s major oil-producing countries. With regard to logistic infrastructure, Rio de Janeiro also boasts a significant differential, allowing access to 50% of Brazilian GDP within a radius of 500 km, thanks to good quality roads, an extensive rail network and its ports and airports. Situated in an extremely privileged location, the state already stands out as one of the major logistics hubs in the country, being responsible for a large proportion of the movement of Brazilian cargo and passengers.
“Rio Day” will offer you comprehensive information about the business opportunities in Rio de Janeiro as well as give you opportunity to meet executives from the State´s major economic players and establish relations with FIRJAN which plays an essential role in supporting international business in the State.
