Brazil Investment Week is the global 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.

FOOD FOR THE FUTURE

As food systems face increasing pressure from climate change, resource constraints and shifting consumption patterns, there is an urgent need to accelerate collaboration across innovation, markets, sectors and capital flows.

Jointly organised by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and Capricornio Capital, this event explores the future of food systems through the lens of growing markets, which will represent the next few billion consumers. Food for the Future highlights the perspective of who this future ultimately serves and the role these markets will play as key stakeholders in the global food ecosystem, from agriculture and biodiversity to supply chains and climate innovation.

With speakers from Danone, Google, L'Oréal and others, the sessions will explore the intersection of food systems, nutrition and human development, recognising that the future of food is not only about feeding growing populations but nourishing them, while examining how innovation, climate adaptation and the emerging bioeconomy are reshaping food systems and redefining the role of agriculture and biodiversity.

THE GROWING ECONOMIES FORUM: BRAZIL

As capital flows and trade routes continue to evolve, the Growing Economies are playing an increasingly central role in shaping global markets, economic influence and business opportunities. Understanding these dynamics requires a pragmatic perspective, grounded in real-world experience deploying capital, managing risk and executing transactions across borders.

Brought by Marsh, this forum brings together investors, advisors, dealmakers and business leaders to discuss the forces redefining international business today. From carbon markets and digital infrastructure to geopolitical developments, private equity and cross-border transactions, the discussions focus on identifying trends, understanding where capital is moving, and navigating the practical challenges and opportunities of doing business in the real world.

With speakers from Tower Peak Partners, Gibson Dunn, Apollo, Marsh and others, the forum provides an executive-level perspective on the evolving global investment landscape and the growing role of economic centres such as the BRICS nations in shaping the next decade of growth.

BRASILCORE: MADE OF BRAZIL

Brazilian identity has become one of the country's most powerful exports. Far beyond geography, Brazilianity has evolved into a form of soft power that shapes consumer behavior, engagement, aesthetics, business models and cultural trends across the world. From global brands and entertainment platforms to football, sustainability and digital influence, Brazil's ability to create connection, relevance and authenticity increasingly translates into economic value.

BrasilCore brings together executives, investors, creators and decision makers to explore how culture becomes business strategy. Through the experiences of leaders from companies such as L'Oréal, Danone, Granado, LEGO, Tatil, JungleBerry and others, the event examines how Brazilian perspectives on creativity, engagement, sustainability and human connection influence global industries and brand-building strategies.

From the business of football and the rise of women's football ahead of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027, to sustainability, digital engagement, heritage brands and cultural influence, BrasilCore positions Brazil as a creative and economic protagonist. The conversations seek to understand a simple but powerful question: what is it about Brazilianity that global brands, audiences and markets find so valuable?
