Rio's
commercial reputation and potential has been enjoying a condition of
continual growth and as such, the scenic setting of the city acts as
fertile breeding ground for consumers, producers, and specialists to
shape the international landscape in their fields.
In
light of increased investment interest, Rio de Janeiro plays host to
a number of prestigious fairs and conventions where consumers and
producers share ideas, network and innovate. The city holds a
biennial Oil and Gas fair and conference with over 1,500
participants, hosted by the Institute of Oil, Gas and Biofuels, as
well as the annual, international Navalshore fair.
AAn
important fair for vitamin and protein products, and another for
sports attire and equipment attest to the strong market for products
related to fitness and health. Concurrently, the fashion industry in
Rio has been growing in breadth and reputation over the past years,
and the city now hosts a variety of fashion fairs and events.
