The Brazilian economy has undergone significant development in recent years and appears now as the world’s sixth largest economy.
This has resulted in a wealth of market opportunities for Danish companies, which can be read in the past year favorable development of Denmark’s exports to Brazil.
But there is plenty of room for additional Danish exports to Brazil, and the visit will be used for a number of export promotion activities – as well as to strengthen cooperation in culture and education.
