Brazil will play a major role in this year’s International Madrid Real Estate Exhibition edition; in fact, its stand will be the biggest of the exhibition -1,180 square meters-and also, an International Program’s monographic session will be devoted to Real Estate investment in the country, a topic to be explained by, among other specialists, João Batista, president of Secovi-SP, Sao Paulo’s Developers Association.

A total of 50 Brazilian development companies will share the 1,180 square meters stand this Latin America country will set up, which means 800 square meters more than last edition’ one Brazil had in SIMA. Visitors will be able to find second-homes products, properties for vacation purposes or residential development projects, as well as different options of land for sale.

The major part Brazil will play in SIMA’s exhibition area will be reflected in the significant role it will perform in the International Program (IPP). In order to analyze this country’s Real Estate market, its business opportunities and the key issues to be considered to safely invest in Brazil, IPP has included in its schedule a monographic session, called “Workshop Brasil”.

“Workshop Brasil” program will start with a lecture given by Marta Suplicy, Brazil’s Minister of Tourism, who will explain the importance of tourism activities in Real Estate investment. Afterwards, João Batista, president of Secovi-SP, will examine the macroeconomic situation of the Real Estate market. Other speakers, chaired by Fábio Mercadante Mortadi, director of Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Brazil, will describe both legal certainty issues and main aspects related to a wide range of investment options in Brazil.
