Mission to Brazil

Explore Oregon’s deep economic connection with Brazil

For years, several Oregon companies have done business in Brazil. Now, by winning the right to host both the World Cup soccer championships in 2014 and the Summer Olympics in 2016, the eyes of the sporting world are on Brazil. With an industry-leading footwear and apparel cluster and global leaders in sustainable building design and construction, it's no wonder that Oregon businesses are paying more attention than ever to this Latin American nation. Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America and an important emerging trade partner for Oregon.

• VISIT Oregon manufacturing companies that make and sell goods in Brazil.
• HEAR from Oregon service firms doing business in Brazil.
• SEE how Oregon’s apparel and footwear cluster and engineering firms are supporting global athletic competitions.
• LEARN how the long-standing relationship between Oregon and Brazil is becoming stronger.
