UBRAFE 2006 Luiz Fernando Furlan Ministry for the Development of Industry and Foreign Trade

The Brazilian Federal Government and the Ministry for the Development of Industry and Foreign Trade have been searching for strategies to promote and increase Brazilian foreign trade, enlarge our installed industrial park and generate new jobs. The efforts of UBRAFE and its associates are in tune with the Federal Government purposes, bringing closer customers to suppliers, investors to entrepreneurs.

The promotion of fairs is one of the most efficient tools used to boost economic development. Nowadays, participation in fairs and congresses, both in the local and foreign markets, is certainly the best marketing strategy any company should follow to conquer new markets.

I congratulate the Brazilian Association of Trade Fairs Organizers for the excellent initiatives it has been carrying out. The synergy generated by the meetings listed in UBRAFE’s calendar meets the wishes of steady growth of both the government and the society.

Luiz Fernando Furlan
Ministry for the Development of Industry and Foreign Trade
