Rio de Janeiro’s 2011 RioInvestment Anticipates $90 Billion in Business Opportunities

The event, to be held March 22-24 at the Bolsa do Rio Convention Center for RioInvestment 2011, will have as its theme investment opportunities in Rio de Janeiro in the years ahead, focusing primarily on sectors such as Oil & Gas, Real Estate, Mining, Maritime Construction, Iron, Steel, Hedge funds, Transportations, Roads, Ports, Hotels, Urban Mobility, Telecommunications, nuclear and renewable energy and much more.

Organized in Brazil by Infocast, in association with the Governments of State and City of Rio de Janeiro, the event will unite in the capital, Rio, key project developers, capital providers, contractors, decision-makers from the Brazilian Government, and international hedge fund investors.

Following the recent growth in industrial construction and exports, real estate expansion, and improved job market, the State of Rio de Janeiro has begun drawing attention as an economic hub with major potential in Latin America. Even though chosen as the site of two important international sporting events – the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics Games – Rio is still involved in a number of new infrastructure projects. Such a positive atmosphere has led event organizers to expect more than US$90 billion in new business over the next three years.

Organized by Infocast, the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro and City of Rio, RioInvestment 2011 will be the meeting place for companies and investors wanting to learn more about such opportunities. Besides a full slate of presentations and discussion panels that participants can attend, there will also be networking opportunities in individual areas of interest.
