Trade Missions
We connect you to the world
Every year, we organize International Trade Missions in partnership with Brazilian cooperatives across all seven vectors of the cooperative business model, as part of a recurring global engagement program connecting Brazilian organizations with counterparts around the world.
These missions take place across the Americas and other international destinations, and include leading institutions such as Aurora Coop, FECOAGRO, and the OCESC-SESCOOP System, represented by their executive leadership.
The objective is to promote the exchange of knowledge and practical experience, enabling participants to explore innovative practices and advanced technologies across different sectors.
Throughout the program, participants visit companies, attend workshops with industry experts, and engage directly with local policymakers. These interactions provide valuable insights and access to international networks that support the development and competitiveness of their cooperatives.
“I consider Fernando Figueiredo a key figure in supporting Brazilian companies seeking to establish connections with the American market.”

We organize Corporate Innovation Events throughout the year for Brazilian cooperatives as part of an ongoing international engagement initiative connecting organizations across multiple sectors and global markets.
These events bring together employees, executives, and industry experts to explore innovation, technology, and digital transformation, with a focus on practical application and sustainable growth.
With a dynamic agenda, speakers from Brazil and the United States share insights on artificial intelligence, automation, and digital transformation strategies. Interactive workshops allow participants to experience new technologies and adopt best practices to improve operational efficiency.
In addition, panel discussions foster knowledge exchange among cooperatives, strengthening collaboration and reinforcing a shared innovation ecosystem.
The program also includes networking sessions and live demonstrations of solutions tailored to the cooperative sector. By the end of the experience, participants are prepared to implement innovations that increase productivity, reduce costs, and drive long-term sustainable development.
