Brazil in the 21st Century is the largest tech-related event focused on Brazil in the United States. Over the past four years, BayBrazil has organized this annual conference to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, scholars, government representatives and private-sector leaders to discuss science, technology, entrepreneurship and Brazil’s role in the global economy. This annual event, whose previous editions were at Stanford University, has been getting greater traction each year due to the growth of BayBrazil’s tech hub and the increasing business relations between Silicon Valley and Brazil.
