Brazil Summit

Brazil, the world’s 10th largest economy and the largest in Latin America, stands at a crossroads in its pursuit of sustainable economic growth and expanding influence. A global powerhouse in mining, agriculture, and manufacturing, Brazil also plays a pivotal role in the energy and climate landscape. The nation’s dynamic market, leadership in renewable energy, robust industrial base, and burgeoning technological innovation continue to attract investors despite domestic and international uncertainties.

As it seeks to position itself as a green leader, Brazil is simultaneously advancing its ambitions on the geopolitical stage. With the legacy of the G20 presidency and COP30 on the horizon in 2025, the country faces critical questions: Can Brazil seize this historic moment to lead global climate initiatives and solidify its green economy ambitions? Is it possible to reconcile its aspirations as a climate champion with its plans for significant growth in oil and gas production? What reforms and investments are needed to strengthen infrastructure, accelerate innovation, and reduce social inequalities? How resilient is Brazil’s strategy in a world grappling with geopolitical tensions, climate crises, China growth ambitions, and potential protectionist pressures from the new U.S. administration?

The Financial Times is delighted to host the fourth annual Brazil Summit, bringing together Brazilian and international leaders to explore the country’s future trajectory, as it balances strategic ties with China and the US. The summit will examine Brazil’s economic outlook, policy priorities, and investment opportunities, while  showcasing how its rich cultural heritage, sports, and tourism bolster global influence and create business opportunities.
