A BETTER-INFORMED START
Before you commit to Brazil, understand how it works.
A market entry decision needs more than a desk report. It needs local context, direct conversations and a realistic view of what it takes to operate. E2M brings that work into one focused week, with the hotel and agenda coordinated around your delegation.
Challenge the assumptions
Discuss operational, corporate, tax and commercial questions with relevant specialists before defining your entry approach.
Leave with a direction
Bring the week’s insights together into priorities, open questions and practical next steps for your own team.
DESIGNED FOR YOUR DELEGATION
One company. One sector. Or a shared expansion question.
The program suits international companies evaluating Brazil, leadership teams preparing their first steps, and chambers or associations organizing a delegation. It can focus on one business or a group with related interests. The agenda is built for the group as a whole; individual company tracks can be discussed in the proposal.
This is a group program. You can contact E2M as a private group with at least five people already confirmed, or as a partner or consultant bringing a delegation together.
FIVE DAYS. ONE COHERENT JOURNEY.
An illustrative week in São Paulo.
Your priorities shape the final agenda.
The sequence below is a starting point for designing your mission. Sessions, speakers, visits and timing are agreed in the tailored proposal, according to your objectives and availability.

An agenda tailored to your case

No named institution, public official, commercial meeting or business outcome is guaranteed before confirmation. The program is independent and does not imply government endorsement.
WHY SÃO PAULO
A base for understanding Brazil in practice.
Use one city as the working base for a focused week of business conversations. São Paulo brings together corporate operations, professional services and industry ecosystems that make it a relevant starting point for exploring Brazil. The mission is designed around your business questions, with logistics considered alongside the agenda.
FROM INTEREST TO A PRIVATE MISSION
A tailored proposal starts with a clear brief.
- 01
Confirm your group
Your organization confirms 5 to 40 business leaders, the planned dates and the primary language.
- 02
Share your objectives
Tell us your sector, the delegation’s profile and what you need to understand about Brazil.
- 03
Review the proposal
E2M develops the scope, indicative agenda, hotel arrangements and pricing for your group.
- 04
Agree and prepare
After accepting the commercial terms, the agenda, speakers and logistics are confirmed for execution.
BEFORE THE WEEK BEGINS
A strong delegation arrives with questions, not just a calendar.
A small group of participants create value when they share a useful brief. Identify the decision the mission should inform, the assumptions to test and the people who can act on what is learned. A clear mandate helps E2M select relevant expertise and organize the agenda around substance.
A common business thesis
Are you testing demand, evaluating a distributor model, planning an operating presence or comparing entry options? Agree the shared question before selecting sessions.
A delegation that can use the findings
Include commercial and operational perspectives alongside leadership. When needed, bring finance, product or regulatory questions into the brief so the right specialists can be considered.
A concise preparation pack
Share the company or group profile, sector, offer, countries of origin, current Brazil exposure and priority questions. Separate assumptions from facts already established.
A realistic working week
Share date preferences, room needs, language requirements and any mobility or dietary needs. The itinerary should account for movement between sessions, preparation and daily synthesis.
WHAT THE WEEK SHOULD HELP YOU DECIDE
Turn conversations into business judgment.
Use the mission to improve the quality of your next decision. Five days can expose gaps and create a more informed direction. They do not replace a full market study, formal due diligence or a commercial pilot.
Market fit
Which use cases, buyer profiles and unmet needs merit further testing? Record evidence that contradicts the initial thesis as carefully as evidence that supports it.
Entry approach
Which options deserve a deeper feasibility review: selling from abroad, working through a partner, running a pilot or developing a local presence? Validate the legal and tax implications separately.
Operating requirements
What must work for the business to deliver locally: service, people, procurement, contracting, distribution or sector requirements? Assign unresolved questions to an owner.
The next commitment
What evidence is sufficient to justify the next stage, what remains uncertain and what would cause the team to pause? A successful week can support proceeding, changing direction or stopping.
CHOOSE THE FORMAT FOR THE QUESTION
When does a private business mission make sense?
| Format | Best suited to | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Desk research | Developing the initial thesis and identifying gaps. | Reports and public data cannot confirm how a specific buyer will respond to your offer. |
| Trade fair participation | Seeing exhibitors, products and sector activity. | A fair sets its own agenda; it may complement rather than replace a tailored evaluation. |
| Executive business immersion | A defined commercial question and 1–2 executives with limited time in São Paulo. | E2M offers a 1–2 day tailored format, subject to at least 30 days of advance planning. |
| Private five-day mission | A delegation that needs shared learning, relevant experts and a coordinated hotel base. | Design the agenda around decisions; individual commercial meetings or visits need their own agreed scope. |
ALSO AVAILABLE · EXECUTIVE FORMAT
One or two executives. One or two focused days.
For founders, CEOs and commercial leaders who need a short, decision-oriented visit to São Paulo, E2M can coordinate a tailored working agenda without requiring a full delegation.
A focused market immersion
A 1- or 2-day agenda built around your business objective: relevant market visits, specialist conversations and prearranged meetings where feasible. Scope is agreed before any commitments.
Plan at least one month ahead
Request the program at least 30 calendar days before arrival so we can qualify the brief, verify specialist and counterpart availability, and coordinate the itinerary.
Quoted separately from the five-day group mission. Hotel, travel, specialist fees and third-party costs are included only when expressly agreed. Meetings with specific buyers or decision-makers are subject to their acceptance and availability.

Smaller executive visits, with the same local discipline
In addition to five-day delegations, E2M coordinates one- or two-day São Paulo business visits for one or two executives. The itinerary can combine targeted market observations, specialist briefings and pre-arranged business conversations where counterpart availability allows. Please contact us at least 30 days before your preferred dates.
See how an executive visit works →São Paulo is our on-site base. In-person visits, inspections, executive programs and field assignments are scoped for the city of São Paulo. Work elsewhere in Brazil can be arranged by prior agreement and involves an additional professional service fee, plus travel, accommodation and logistical expenses, all quoted before approval.
A DISCIPLINED FOLLOW-THROUGH
The work continues when the delegation returns.
Before departure, agree who owns each open question and which conversations deserve follow-up. After the mission, consolidate findings, distinguish a useful contact from a qualified opportunity, and decide which next step requires additional evidence. Timelines and any E2M work after the five-day program are agreed separately.
Question coverage
Priority questions addressed with useful evidence ÷ priority questions defined before the trip.
Owned follow-up
Relevant next steps with a named owner and agreed date ÷ relevant next steps identified.
Decision readiness
Critical assumptions supported or disproved, remaining blockers and the evidence needed for the next investment decision.
These are planning indicators proposed by E2M, not guaranteed results or published industry benchmarks. Document the denominator and the evidence behind each measurement.
