Under the motto “Working Together for more Resilience”, leading representatives from German and Brazilian business, politics and academia came together in Hanover on April 19 and 20, 2026, for the 42nd German-Brazilian Economic Meeting.

Brazil has the potential to be a strong economic partner: a diverse industrial base, vast agricultural lands, natural resources, and a young, consumption-oriented population. However, the country must modernize and expand its industrial sector to remain competitive. Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy and the fifth-largest country in the world, with a population of over 215 million.
