Connecting Brazilian companies to major innovation hubs worlwide
Brazil's National Confederation of Industry (CNI) has been collaborating with many institutions in countries such as the U.S., Sweden, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, China, India and Finland to run the Immersions in Innovation Ecosystems program. Our main goal is to keep our business leaders strongly connected to major innovation hubs worldwide, facilitate cooperation in R&D, entrepreneurship and education, and promote innovative business. The program is part of an overarching entrepreneurial mobilization that brings together the largest companies operating in Brazil - around 300 of them, represented by their CEOs or board members. For more information about this forum, kindly watch the following video.
