High attendee satisfaction, with over 80% endorsing the event and planning to return, affirmed Efapi's position as a premier business platform in Brazil. Meanwhile, in the United States, Brazil was prominently represented at the tenth Florida International Trade and Cultural Expo (FITCE 2025) held on November 22-23 in Broward County, Florida.
