Brazil has now emerged as the world's 6th largest economy, and is expected to become the world's 4th largest in a few decades. Brazil has achieved economic and political stability and institutional maturity, and is undergoing broad and fast-paced expansion and dramatic socioeconomic transformation. The Brazilian ICT sector, the world's 5th largest, turned over US$ 212 billion in 2011 - or 8,5% of the country's GDP.
The 2012 Brasscom Global IT Forum will discuss IT as an engine of economic growth and IT excellence as global competitive advantage, the outlook of the Brazilian IT sector, its key role in the country's development strategy, and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the country to become a frontrunner in today's competitive global IT market.
