Alberta is quickly becoming the destination of choice for Brazilian companies looking to expand to North America. After the agreement between Invest Alberta and the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-Canada (CCBC) signed in September 2022, establishing the interest in expanding international networks with one another, the province has enjoyed growing attention from leading businesses from the largest economy in Latin America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this period, the organizations have orchestrated several events to foster cooperation, starting with the setup of the Brazil Hub at Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) in December of that same year, the first of its kind in Western Canada. Providing a soft landing for Brazilian companies and innovators to connect with local business, research and development partners, as well as government and industry, the Hub has attracted and supported the arrival of a number of companies since its inception, increasing job opportunities and bringing economical growth to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such company is Brainiall, which uses Artificial Intelligence to maximize the performance of heavy industry processes, particularly in mining \u2013 a vibrant part of Alberta\u2019s economy. Additionally, the Hub welcomed Mitsidi Projects, a company specialized in energy efficiency, demand management and distributed generation, helping organizations to drastically reduce energy costs and consequently, environmental impact. In total, two companies have joined Edmonton\u2019s Brazil Hub in less than one year, and four more are in process of joining, confirming the success of the partnership to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn just one year since formalizing Invest Alberta\u2019s partnership with CCBC, we are already seeing economic opportunities unleashed for both regions. There is clear alignment of strength sectors from clean energy to agribusiness to technology, and we\u2019re paving the way for Brazilian companies to access Alberta’s talented workforce and collaborative business environment \u2013 positioning all parties for prosperity and success.\u201d\u2013 Rick Christiaanse, Invest Alberta CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cooperation doesn\u2019t end there\u2014Invest Alberta has its eyes set on expanding commerce with distinct Brazilian states as well, having hosted a delegation from Parana (a region deemed one of the country\u2019s powerhouses in the agriculture and energy sectors) in Edmonton last May, followed by the Brazil-Alberta Opportunities forum in partnership with the CCBC, BCCC and Edmonton Global in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn less than one year, we were able to accomplish every goal of our agreement with Invest Alberta and Edmonton Global, but we still have a lot of work to do,\u201d explains Stephane Larue, President of the CCBC in Canada. \u201cWe\u2019re eager to continue offering our 50 years of expertise and connections to our partners in Alberta, facilitating the integration of Brazilian companies into the market and helping attract investment opportunities and jobs into the province.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, Invest Alberta and Edmonton global\u2014alongside partners from Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo, University of Alberta and Applied Pharmaceutical Innovation\u2014promoted the province in Brazil through several speaking engagements, meetings and events. The delegation hosted events in Sao Paulo and Parana, and presented Alberta\u2019s innovation ecosystem at the CCBC\u2019s Summit Brazil-Canada event. During this visit, an important agreement was also signed to help promote business opportunities and cooperation between Alberta and the Brazilian state of Parana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the economic development organization that represents the Edmonton region, we are excited to further strengthen our ties with our partners in Brazil, and to be positioned as the North American landing pad for many Brazilian companies looking to expand into global markets. With plans to host multiple Brazilian delegations in the Edmonton region over the coming weeks, and more in 2024, the September mission to Brazil is already seeing a successful outcome.\u201d \u2013 Malcolm Bruce, CEO Edmonton Global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
