Brazil Touts High Tech Prowess With Minister's Visit

Sergio Rezende, Brazil's Minister of Science & Technology is visiting San Francisco and Silicon Valley this week. He is joined by Maurício dos Santos Neves, Director, Department of Electronic Industry, Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES), and others from the Brazilian Private Center.

The Brazilian delegation is hoping to attract the attention of local business leaders and investors, in Brazil's fast growing markets in IT, telecommunications, social media, technology outsourcing, biotechnology, and software design.

The Brazilian government has adopted new policies that have helped to expand Brazil's high tech industries.

Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America, which collectively is about the size of China's economy.
