Sao Paulo: Doha Forum, in collaboration with Fundacao Getulio Vargas (FGV), co-hosted a high-level panel and reception in Sao Paulo yesterday, under the title “Investment Opportunities in a Disrupted Global System: Qatar/Brazil in 2025 and Beyond.”

The discussions highlighted that current political changes have contributed to fundamental changes in some existing systems, but have also opened up broad horizons for innovation, forward-looking growth, and strengthening strategic partnerships.

The speakers emphasized that investment, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, energy, technology, and agribusiness, represents a key lever for economic diversification, enhancing resilience, building trust, and opening broader avenues for dialogue and cooperation in the areas of sustainability, innovation, diplomacy, and development.

Panel opening remarks were delivered by Executive Director of Doha Forum Mubarak Ajlan Al Kuwari, and Director for International Affairs at Fundacao Getulio Vargas Professor Marlos Correia Lima. Al Kuwari commented by saying that “Brazil and Qatar share a commitment to resilience, innovation, and forward-looking growth. At a time of systemic transformation in the global economy, this event is an opportunity to deepen strategic dialogue, unlock new investment partnerships, and chart a more cooperative path forward.” For his part, Professor Correia Lima added that: “FGV is proud to host this dialogue, in this emerging framework, new opportunities arise for countries willing to cooperate, innovate, and, most of all, build bridges.”

The event brought together senior figures from Qatar and Brazil to explore how strategic investment and targeted cooperation can strengthen bilateral ties, enhance economic resilience, and support a more inclusive global economic order. Amid shifting trade flows, reconfigured supply chains, and growing pressure on multilateral frameworks, both countries are navigating a landscape of significant challenges and opportunities.
