Brazil: A Key Market for Scale-ups Globally

Supporting the expansion of innovative European companies to São Paulo!

Brazil Tech Award

As home to the world’s eighth largest economy, the seventh biggest IT market, fifth largest number of mobile phone and internet users, and the third largest recipient of FDI in 2017, Brazil ranks among the UK Department for International Trade strategic markets.
It is a key country for any company interested in scaling up and expanding internationally. It has plenty to offer: a growing middle class, a voracious appetite for social and digital media, and a population of over 210 million. 
The Brazil Tech Award is the opportunity for European scale-ups in six categories – Smart Cities, Fintech, HealthTech, Agritech, Manufacturing and Creative Tech – to expand to a global emerging market.   
The winner will get £70,000 in services during one year to establish its base in the city of Sao Paulo.
Join us for the launch of the Brazil Tech Award 2019 and learn more about the competition and how to apply.
