Good Afternoon Readers,

I wanted to let you know about a high level business delegation from Brazil that is visiting Seattle next week.  As you are probably aware, Brazil is one of the so called "BRIC" nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China) that are rapidly developing into global economic powerhouses.

They represent both a challenge to the U.S. as well as great market opportunities.  There will be a breakfast October 5 that you can read more about and register for here:  http://seattle.gov/tda/evbrazil07.htm

Information technology is the one of the sectors represented in this delegation and the IT folks from Brazil are interested in establishing partnerships and business relationships with WSA members and high-tech companies in our area. 

The list of IT folks who are coming to Seattle is attached.  Feel free to contact them directly or contact Pedro Costa of the Information Company, pedro@theinformationcompany.net to coordinate.  His phone number is (253) 235-0724.
