Brazil-China Business Forum to Boost Minas Gerais Trade Relations in November 2026

The Missão à China 2026, organized by the Federação das Indústrias do Estado de Minas Gerais (FIEMG), is set to take place from November 1 to 8, 2026, focusing on strengthening business ties between Minas Gerais and China. Central to the mission is the Brazil China Business Forum, which aims to connect Brazilian and Chinese business leaders to explore commercial opportunities and investment possibilities. This event continues a tradition of robust engagement, with previous forums attracting over 200 Chinese investors in 2024 and approximately 240 Chinese representatives among 300 participants in 2025.

Besides the forum, the mission includes "The Bearer of the Future" dinner recognizing leaders in economic and social development, facilitating networking among business delegates and authorities. Participants will also attend the China International Import Expo (CIIE), the largest import fair in China, and engage in technical visits to Chinese industries alongside executive training sessions.

Sponsored by Vale and supported by Anglo American and CBMM, this mission demonstrates a strategic effort to promote Minas Gerais' potential within the Asian market. FIEMG’s initiative reflects ongoing commitment to bilateral trade enhancement through diverse activities fostering investor engagement and business collaboration.
