CIN and Chinese Chamber of Commerce Host Brazil-China Business Opportunity Event for 2026

The Centro Internacional de Negócios (CIN) of Ceará's Federation of Industries (FIEC), together with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Brazil, will hold an event titled "Brazil-China Business Opportunities: 2026 Outlook" on February 4, 2026. The morning session begins at 8:30 AM at Casa da Indústria and targets entrepreneurs and professionals interested in expanding trade relations with China. The program includes a welcome coffee, institutional opening remarks, and expert-led thematic panels, culminating in a Q&A session for direct interaction with speakers. The event is supported by Comexjus and NT Cargo, enhancing business networking and partnership opportunities. Online registration is currently open.

This event coincides with a growing strategic focus on Brazil-China cooperation in the energy sector, especially regarding the battery market. Brazil is preparing its first grid-scale battery auction in April 2026 to contract 2 GW of capacity, addressing significant energy losses caused by solar and wind power curtailment. Chinese companies have already invested approximately US$35 billion in Brazil's electric sector since 2007, competing alongside global energy leaders like Tesla and Petrobras. Brazil's abundant critical minerals, such as lithium reserves in Minas Gerais, underscore its emerging global role in energy storage.

Brazilian entrepreneurs are encouraged to leverage this evolving landscape, as early involvement can set industry standards and foster innovation in energy storage and business models tied to clean energy. This event serves as a valuable platform to gain insights into these promising areas and to establish connections vital for future growth in bilateral trade and energy cooperation.
