2026 Summit Brazil–China

In 2026, Brazilian newspapers Valor Econômico, O GLOBO and CBN Radio, in partnership with CEBRI, will host the second edition of the Summit Brazil–China in Shanghai, a three-day immersion in one of China’s leading technological and commercial hubs.

The project aims to expand dialogue between the two countries by bringing together government leaders, private-sector representatives, and experts to discuss bilateral relations, business opportunities, and strategic trends, while also offering an in-depth experience of China’s ecosystem of innovation, technology, and culture.

The agenda includes a full day of high-level debates covering topics such as Brazil–China relations in a changing global trade environment, logistics and infrastructure connectivity, future mobility from ethanol to electric vehicles, green innovation and the global energy transition, sustainable finance, technology and artificial intelligence in healthcare, and Chinese soft power.

Following the conference, two additional days of visits for a select group of participants will provide an intensive program, including meetings with business institutions, technology and innovation centers, universities, and major cultural venues.
