Brazilcham Annual Celebration

The Brazilian Chamber of Commerce in Sweden is honored to invite you to its Annual Celebration on August 28.

Given our role as co-organizer of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize Brazil, one of the projects we are most proud of, it was only fitting to align this commemoration with the World Water Week in Stockholm.

The event will start with the Brazil-Sweden Technical Dialogues (15:30-17:30) promoting the meeting between the business community, scientists as well as other stakeholders and be closed by a Social Ceremony (17:30-20:00).

Let's celebrate the laces that bind us! We look forward to meeting you there.

Team Brazilcham Sweden
