In March of 2013, IDC members travelled to Sao Paolo, Brazil, to learn about pursuing business opportunities in South America. Attendees on the trip were introduced to interior designers, manufacturers, developers, real estate agents and local trade commissioners who helped them to understand the requrements for working in this specialized international market. The business opportunities in Brazil are endless, but it’s important to learn how to adopt the right business model for the market.
