Organized jointly by ApexBrasil and the European Union, in collaboration with the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), the Brazil–European Union Investment Forum brings together public and private sector leaders to strengthen bilateral economic dialogue and promote strategic trade and investment opportunities between the two regions.
In a context of geopolitical transformation and the transition toward more sustainable and digital economies, Brazil and the European Union reaffirm their partnership based on shared values, innovation, sustainable development and international cooperation. The Forum is part of the EU–Brazil Investment Dialogue agenda and seeks to contribute to the implementation of the Mercosur–European Union Agreement.
The 2026 edition will focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with the energy transition, digital and smart infrastructure, critical raw materials, the data economy and sustainable value chains, in alignment with the European Union’s Global Gateway agenda.
The event will gather government representatives, financial institutions, companies, multilateral organizations, and Brazilian and European experts, fostering a high-level dialogue aimed at building a more integrated, predictable and investment-friendly business environment for long-term sustainable investment.
