This is a brief overview of our last delegations to Web Summit Rio de Janeiro in 2023 and 2024
I have been part of many events and programs but by far this one organized by the uGlobally team was the most out standing and the most beneficial one.
uGlobally and NBSO did an excellent job to help us finding business partners in Brazil. Very interesting program. We enjoy every moment.
The insights we gained from the visits to the Dutch Consulate and the Portuguese Embassy were enlightening and transformative. They deepened our understanding of Brazil's cultural and business landscapes, sparking a new level of curiosity and motivation within our team. The Rio Web Summit itself was a phenomenal platform, and thanks to uGlobally, we were perfectly positioned at the Orange Pavilion to engage with many tech talents and industry leaders, further fueling our passion for international business connections.
The preparations prior to the meetings and the connections itselves allow us to in few minutes get to the point of our business. In other words, this process accelerates our process to find commercial business partners in Brazil, allowing us to focus on the business matter faster then without this introductory program.
