Our advocacy mission gathered senior executives in Brasília for meetings with Brazilian government officials Dec. 5–8, 2016. The mission, which focused on the health care, innovation and infrastructure sectors, included strategic engagement with key decision makers from the Temer Administration. During this time, we also held the Annual Plenary with our partner organization CNI, showcasing our government and private sector leadership and celebrating 40 years of Brazil-U.S. partnership.

We also participated in the inaugural U.S.-Brazil government-to-business infrastructure meeting Dec. 8, where private sector representatives from both countries discussed upcoming project opportunities and exchanged best practices in infrastructure development in the hope of encouraging private sector participation in Brazilian and U.S. infrastructure projects.
