INSPIRAMAIS, ACII Business Fair, and Fórum E-Commerce Brasil Drive Business Growth in Brazil 2026

Several key business events in Brazil this year are boosting opportunities for small and international companies, reflecting strong growth and strategic international outreach. The 34th INSPIRAMAIS event held in São Paulo on July 7-8 is projected to generate R$ 61.68 million in international business prospects over the next six months, marking a 28% increase from its previous edition. During the event, R$ 15.4 million was directly negotiated through meetings involving 22 groups of importers from countries like Argentina, Chile, and Turkey, with participation exceeding 7,000 visitors. The event showcased over 150 exhibitors focusing on footwear, apparel, and automotive upholstery sectors, including activities centered on sustainability.

Following this momentum, the 2nd ACII Business Fair is set for September 10-12 in Itajaí. The inaugural fair attracted more than 13,600 visitors and yielded around R$ 12 million in business. This year's event will enhance support through a partnership with Sebrae/SC, executing comprehensive preparation and follow-up programs using the "Viva Feiras" methodology that has helped participating companies increase sales by an average of 38%. This approach includes workshops, financial training, and strategic business sessions to maximize exhibitors' outcomes.

Additionally, the Fórum E-Commerce Brasil scheduled for July 28-30 in São Paulo emphasizes meaningful connections through its Rodada de Negócios initiative, aiming to generate over R$ 50 million. This platform seeks to link companies with real purchasing needs to targeted e-commerce solutions domestically and internationally, supported by partnerships with Sebrae and ApexBrasil. Through these events, Brazil's small and international business communities are experiencing expanded market access, stronger networking, and enhanced commercial results amid a global economic climate.
