The 15th [1] LIDE Brazil Investment Forum will take place on May 12, 2026 [2], at the Harvard Club in New York [4].
This gathering serves as a critical bridge between South American and North American markets. By convening high-level officials and private sector leaders, the forum seeks to address Brazil's current economic challenges and secure capital for domestic growth.
Organized as part of Brazilian Week [5], the event expects about 400 participants [3]. The attendee list includes government authorities, state governors, members of parliament, and business executives. These stakeholders will engage in discussions focused on the Brazilian economic scenario to create new opportunities for negotiations, and partnerships.
João Doria said the upcoming event highlights its role in strengthening the dialogue between Brazil and the U.S. The forum is designed to facilitate direct interaction between policymakers and investors—a strategy intended to reduce friction in cross-border deals.
The event's location at the Harvard Club provides a neutral ground for these discussions. Participants will analyze the specific economic hurdles facing Brazil while exploring sectors ripe for foreign investment. The goal is to transform these discussions into tangible partnerships that boost the Brazilian economy.
Because the forum brings together a dense concentration of legislative and executive power, the outcomes of these meetings often signal future policy shifts or new trade priorities between the two nations.

The concentration of 400 influential figures from both the public and private sectors in a single venue indicates a concerted effort to stabilize and promote Brazil's image to U.S. investors. By aligning parliamentary and gubernatorial interests with business goals, the forum attempts to create a unified economic front that can mitigate perceived risks for foreign capital.
