Key details
Two major Brazilian business events held in April and planned for May 2026 highlight ongoing growth and innovation across distinct sectors—the food and beverage packaging industry and the construction and real estate markets.
The Envase Brasil fair, which concluded last Thursday at the Parque de Eventos in Bento Gonçalves, attracted 6,000 qualified visitors and featured 140 exhibitors who showcased cutting-edge machinery, supplies, and packaging innovations. The event anticipates generating approximately R$ 125 million in business over the coming months, marking an estimated 10% increase compared to the previous edition two years ago. Carlos Lazzari, coordinator of Envase Brasil and president of the Superior Council of the Industry, Commerce and Services Center of Bento Gonçalves, emphasized the event’s pivotal role in connecting suppliers and buyers and advancing industrial leadership in the Serra Gaúcha region, home to 70% of Brazil’s sector players. Planning for the next Envase Brasil is already underway, with the subsequent event scheduled for 2028.
Meanwhile, the upcoming 11th edition of Construarte, set for May 14 to 17 at Parque da Oktoberfest in Santa Cruz do Sul, has confirmed participation from over 85 exhibitors and will offer free entry to visitors. Serving as a crucial platform for the construction and real estate sectors, Construarte aims to generate more than R$ 500 million in sales with exclusive deals from builders and agencies. This year’s event introduces new features such as the participation of the University of Santa Cruz do Sul, showcasing its architecture and civil engineering courses, alongside a dedicated landscaping area. The fair also transitions its technical programming from traditional lectures to interactive expert discussions, supporting enhanced networking and knowledge exchange. The event promises a family-friendly atmosphere, featuring a food court and children's activities across nearly the entire park.
These events underscore Brazil’s flourishing business landscape by facilitating innovation, substantial economic activity, and strategic connections across key industry sectors.
