Rick Scott and Enterprise Florida Will Hit Brazil in October

Gov. Rick Scott and Enterprise Florida are looking for a few good businessmen who are looking to tap into a nation to which Florida exported more than $13.7 billion in products in 2010 -- Brazil.

Enterprise Florida will be leading a delegation, headed by Scott, toS Paulo from Oct. 23-27, promoting the Sunshine State. Enterprise Florida is looking to fill up the Florida contingent at the Florida Expo Trade Show in S Paulo.

Brazil boasts one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world. The mission will provide a great opportunity for Florida companies to enter or expand their market share in the Brazilian market, said Manny Menc -- a senior vice president of Enterprise Florida who focuses on international trade --on Monday. Participants will be able to network with high-level business and government leaders, meet one on one with local companies interested in their products, and identify distributors and joint venture partners.
