The small ”country” of Rogaland is quickly heading to Brazil. Significant oil findings and good relations have opened the doors for Norwegian on- and offshore pioneers. A few years ago we had some 50 Norwegian companies established in Rio. Today we are 150 and growing quickly. At home, in Rogaland, the business cases look promising. But the realities of Macae, Quissama, Barra do Furado and Rio can be quite different. We fear that perhaps half of the Norwegian initiatives will fail to live up to their expectations. This is largely  due to culture, corruption and bureaucracy. Even more so, it is due to a lack of understanding of history, language and “doing business in Brazil”.

We call this “the soft side of doing business”. But for companies seeking success in the B of the BRIC countries, an absolute requirement for successful market entry into Brazil.

BI – Norwegian Business School, Stavanger Chamber and the Bachelor course MRK2033 International marketing is seeking to bring together diverse perspectives, experiences and age groups for an insightful day on “successful market entry into Brazil”. Here we’ll hear practical case studies, academic insight, international experiences. We’ll hear from Brazilians living in Norway, students seeking to understand and entrepreneurs overcoming the tough challenges of doing business in Brazil. The program is designed with a large number of brief (TED-inspired) presentations, Q & A sessions, panel debate and network building.   

The conference is a part of BI Norwegian Business School’s increasing focus on internationalization. It is also a way to build relationships between the corporate world and today’s  young students with their interest and curiosity for their future opportunities in Brazil.
