The Growing Economies Forum: Brazil edition by MARSH

THE GROWING ECONOMIES FORUM: BRAZIL EDITION

As capital flows and trade routes continue to evolve, the Growing Economies are playing an increasingly central role in shaping global markets, economic influence and business opportunities. Understanding these dynamics requires a pragmatic perspective, grounded in real-world experience deploying capital, managing risk and executing transactions across borders.

Brought by Marsh, this forum brings together investors, advisors, dealmakers and business leaders to discuss the forces redefining international business today. From carbon markets and digital infrastructure to geopolitical developments, private equity and cross-border transactions, the discussions focus on identifying trends, understanding where capital is moving, and navigating the practical challenges and opportunities of doing business in the real world.

With speakers from Tower Peak Partners, Gibson Dunn, Apollo, Marsh and others, the forum provides an executive-level perspective on the evolving global investment landscape and the growing role of economic centres such as the BRICS nations in shaping the next decade of growth.
