BRAZIL WEEK IS BACK!

What is Brazil Week?

Brazil Week is a week-long series of events and editorial coverage, held in mid-May, designed to showcase Brazil’s vibrant business landscape and investment opportunities. Throughout the week, influential leaders from various sectors gather for thought-provoking discussions, panels, and exclusive networking opportunities across a variety of different events, all focusing on the country's growing role in the global market. 

What to expect?

• Building on success: Building on the success of Brazil Week 2025, the Financial Times continues to lead the global conversation on Brazil’s economy with an agenda focused on fiscal resilience, shifting trade dynamics and emerging investment opportunities. Discussions will span AI, critical minerals, digital infrastructure, agribusiness and clean energy as Brazil looks to convert promise into performance.
• An exciting line-up of events and editorial coverage: Brazil Week 2026 will kick off in May with our annual Brazil Summit, marking the start of an exciting line-up of events. 
• Key topics: We will explore vital topics such as Brazil’s fiscal outlook, shifting trade dynamics and investment opportunities across AI, critical minerals, digital infrastructure, agribusiness and clean energy.

Why is the Brazil Summit the must-attend event of Brazil Week?

As the Gala's official Media Partner, the Financial Times leverages the influence and insights of this high-profile gathering. Each year, we invite the Person of the Year (POY) winner to share their unique perspectives at the Brazil Summit, giving attendees exclusive access to world-class thought leadership they can't get anywhere else.
