As there are many complementarities between Victorian and Brazilian economies, specially in areas including renewable energy, agribusiness, innovation technology, mining and education, the branch in Victoria will assist firms contemplating to do business in Brazil.
The event was an excellent opportunity for Victorian companies like Pacific Hydro and Securency to give the guests an insight on their experience in doing business successfully in the Latin American region.
The event was also supported by the Victorian Government with the presence of the Hon. Telmo Languiller MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Human Services and of Uruguayan descent, and COALAR (Council on Australia-Latin America Relations), represented by Chairman Bernard Wheelahan.
His Excellency Fernando de Mello Barreto - Brazilian Ambassador to Australia during his presentation has highlighted Brazil's positive economic growth as well as its experience with ethanol and biofuels.
The ABCC Victoria will be hosting another networking event in November 2007.
