On the 28th of October at the Carnegie Mellon University, the Exporters' Club in partnership with the local chapter of the Australia Brazil Chamber Of Commerce (ABCC) officially launched the "Eyes On Brazil" series. This entails a long-term schedule of events covering synergy trade areas between Australia and Brazil.

The seventy delegates who attended the conference learned about a great range of business opportunities within the Brazilian marketplace in SA strategic areas such as ITC, Cleantech, Resources and Health technologies.

The conference featured a combination of international, interstate and SA speakers who delivered down-to-earth presentations focused on their real life successes and challenges while trading with Brazil. All presentations were followed by interactive Q & A sessions which also fomented food for though to all those looking for business opportunities in Brazil.

As the event's positive feedback is still resonating amongst the SA business community weeks after its occurrence, the Exporters' Club would like to thank all the sponsors, speakers and attendees for making "Eyes On Brazil" such a unique success.
