Miami, Fla. (April 16, 2018)– Enterprise Florida will lead its first-ever Service Export Trade Mission to Sao Paulo, Brazil, from June 23 – 27, 2018. The mission will allow Florida small and mid-sized professional, transportation and financial service providers to meet with pre-qualified Brazilian companies and market their services. Brazil is Florida’s largest trade partner with bilateral trade of $19.8 billion in 2017, an increase of 9.4 percent over 2016.
“This is a new and innovative type of mission for us as it allows eligible Florida businesses to showcase their services,” said Manny Mencia, senior vice president of international trade and development for Enterprise Florida. “The Brazilian services sector accounts for two-thirds of their GDP and employs more than 65 percent of the country’s workforce. As the biggest sector in the country, services represent an excellent opportunity for Florida companies.”
Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America and the eighth largest economy in the world. It is ranked as the United States’ tenth-largest export market. With their strong preference for doing business with Florida, service providers are ideally positioned for growth.
