Brazil Connected Smart Cities 2021
The U.S. Commercial Service is tracking the development of smart cities in Brazil to identify opportunities and promote the participation of U.S. companies in the annual Connected Smart Cities (CSC) event that will be held in Sao Paulo August 30 - Sept 3, 2021.
The program is divided in two phases:
Regional Phase: During this phase, U.S. companies are connected to a number of municipalities through webinars to learn more about the progress of smart city technology and current opportunities in Brazil. Our offices promote weekly webinars to learn more about Brazilian cities with the best prospects for U.S. companies. During the regional phase, participants will also be able to showcase their solutions to these potential clients through one-on-one virtual meetings that our offices will schedule. This part of the program will be held digitally every Tuesday from February 23 to August 17, 2021 from 9 AM to 1 PM local time.
National Phase: The national part of the program will be conducted concurrently with the Connected Smart Cities (CSC) trade show from August 30 to September 3. In addition to the leads generated through participation in the CSC trade show, CS Brazil will also arrange matchmaking appointments for U.S. participants with representatives of Brazilian cities actively looking for smart cities solutions and other potential partners in Brazil. (It is still to be determined if this event will be in-person or virtual.)
The U. S Department of Commerce is also offering U.S. companies, cities, and states to present via interviews on their Smart Cities success stories. We would like to interview EDOs or members of these and other Smart Cities Projects to produce a video that will be posted on the USCS Portal and on the Brazilian Smart Cities Portal.
