The Brazil Investment Conference - The Flagship Event of Brazil Investment Week
Brazil Investment Week returns to London for the 2026 season from November 9–13, taking place across multiple venues in London, the financial heart of the UK.
Our Flagship event
BRAZIL INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
As one of the world's most strategic connectors, Brazil plays a unique role bridging the BRICS nations, Latin America, Europe, the GCC and the broader Global South. Home to the world's second-largest reserve of critical minerals and consistently ranked among the top five global destinations for foreign direct investment, the country sits at the intersection of many of the forces reshaping the global economy.
The Brazil Investment Conference (BIC) is the flagship event of Brazil Investment Week, bringing together investors, business leaders, policymakers and global institutions to discuss the trends, opportunities and challenges shaping the next decade of growth.
With speakers from government, media, finance, academia and industry, the conference provides an executive‑level perspective on capital flows, strategic industries and curated opportunities.

Brazil Investment Week is the global CEO conference focused on Brazil, with editions in London (Nov 2026), Dubai (Mar 2027), and Shanghai & Hong Kong (Aug 2027).
Held across multiple venues throughout the week, the conference connects global capital with opportunities in strategic industries — both where Brazil plays a key role and where the BRICS and high-growth economies are reshaping global markets. Brazil serves as a strategic bridge between Western markets and the Global South, connecting investors, corporations and governments through discussions on investment, innovation, sustainability, technology and international business.
