TPT September 2013

In the first week of October, tube and pipe professionals will be streaming back to São Paulo, Brazil, from all points of the compass for the 2013 edition of Tubotech – the seventh International Tube, Fittings, and Components Fair and the leading such event anywhere. With all due respect to the glamour of Brazil, it represents a practical choice of venue too, never more so than in this year of bracing economic conditions worldwide. For business people eager to look, listen, and learn, Brazil is the place to be.

Brazilians are optimistic about the future – and with good cause. Exports have been diversified so as to reduce reliance on commodities. The government has launched a popular and successful effort to encourage entrepreneurs steeped in the country’s bandeirante (pioneer) character. The largest and most populous country in South America commands vast natural resources and a large labour pool. As the region’s greatest economic power, Brazil is a leader to be conjured with.
