Virtual FDI Mission & Program - Brazilian Delegation to Collision from Home
Collision North America’s fastest-growing technology conference, will take place from June 23rd to June 25th – and will be hosted online due to current circumstances surrounding COVID-19.
Collision from Home attendees will participate from wherever they are in the world, streaming talks from tech CEOs, international policymakers and global cultural figures. They will chat and connect with each other through the bespoke Collision from Home app and will engage with some of the world’s most influential companies and fastest-growing start-ups. The event is expected to attract over 30,000 leaders from the technology community, bringing together over 450+ speakers, 1000+ investors and 1,300+ start-ups from over 100 countries. Their speakers are the world's most innovative and influential minds in their fields who have been at the helm of fundamental changes in the areas of business, politics, arts, academia and of course technology.
The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Commissioner Services in Brazil, with the support of APEX Brasil and the Consulate General of Brazil in Toronto have attracted around 100 Brazilian companies to be part of this great experience! In order to set-up the stage and help them better understand what Canada has to offer, we will be hosting a series of webinars to present an overview of the Canadian innovation ecosystem, as well as introduce the tools needed to succeed when doing business in Canada.
We look forward to seeing you there!
