The Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (APEX-Brasil) will have a Business Center in China by the first semester of 2008 to provide support to Brazilian businesspeople interested in that market.
The Business Center will initially function with an office structure. At present, APEX-Brasil has five Business Centers abroad: Miami, Dubai, Lisbon, Frankfurt and Warsaw, with offices, showrooms and warehouses (stock deposit).
The decision to open the Business Center was taken during a meeting on November 14, in Beijing, between Agency president, Alessandro Teixeira, the general director of the Chinese Trade and Investment Agency (CIPA), Zahang Yingxin, and representatives of the Chinese International Trade Promotion Council (CCPIT). A representative of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce also participated in the meeting.
And in December, the CIPA general director will come to Brazil with 20 investors to countersign an agreement signed in September in Xiamen, with the president of APEX-Brasil.
The document foresees the development of initiatives in the biofuel, infrastructure, maritime transportation, agribusiness, mineral resource, information technology, telecommunications, venture capital and private equity sectors.
