BACCF ChamberNews February 2021
Dear BACCF Members,
During the month of February, Miami and the State of Florida have been positively reviewed by major media outlets, solidifying what we have been saying for the past 40 years. Florida is quickly becoming the technological and business hub of the Americas.
Viewed worldwide as a pro-business, Florida is the ideal place to invest and open a new business. We are grateful for the dedication of our members in strengthening the bilateral trade relations between Brazil and the US. I extend a special welcome to our new members who add value to our diverse community.
Don’t miss the BACCF Open Mic held monthly for our current and new members to present their services. Members and future members enjoy this networking event where they can meet and conduct business virtually. This month we had record participation. Be sure to join us in March.

Estimados Membros da BACCF,
Neste mês de fevereiro, pudemos observar que Miami foi citada positivamente por grandes veículos da mídia, corroborando o que nós ao longo desses 40 anos afirmamos, o estado da Flórida é o centro tecnológico e de negócios das Américas.
Vista mundialmente como pró-negócios, a Flórida é a localidade ideal para investirmos e estreitarmos os laços com nossos parceiros. Agradeço a constante dedicação de todos os associados no fortalecimento das relações comerciais bilaterais entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos. E solenizo a entrada dos novos sócios, que agregam valor a nossa diversificada comunidade empresarial.
Temos um encontro mensal para que os novos membros da Câmara apresentem suas empresas, produtos e serviços, chamado Open Mic. O do mês de fevereiro foi record de audiência e foi gratificante ver o engajamento dos membros e futuros membros da BACCF. Convido a todos para participar deste encontro virtual no próximo mês. Tem sido um valioso networking virtual.
Save the date: dia 11 de março será o primeiro Leadership Series deste ano, patrocinado pela The Boeing Company (clique aqui para se registrar). O BACCF Leadership Series reúne líderes empresariais para apresentar tópicos econômicos e políticos atuais relevantes para seus setores no mercado global.
As redes sociais da BACCF são uma ótima ferramenta para aumentar o alcance e impulsionar as estratégias de marketing digital da sua empresa. Para tomar proveito disso, convido você, nosso membro a utilizar as ferramentas disponíveis dentro do nosso MIC (Member Information Center).

No dia 17 de março teremos a honra de realizar um webinar com o Embaixador de Washington Nestor Forster Jr. O embaixador tratará sobre o estado das relações Brasil-Estados Unidos, o comércio e investimento entre Brasil e EUA, o papel da Flórida, as questões comerciais e negociações atuais e parceria ambiental.
