Porto Alegre, February 26, 2021 – The internationalization of Rio Grande do Sul companies in 4.0, ICT and manufacturing industry sectors is the main topic of the SelectUSA RS webinar, promoted by the U.S. Department of Commerce in partnership with the U.S. Consulate General in Porto Alegre.

Rio Grande do Sul has the second highest number of Brazilian companies with operations in the North American market and is therefore one of the regions chosen to host the SelectUSA seminar this year. During the virtual event, RS companies will be invited to participate in the SelectUSA 2021 Investment Summit, which will take place remotely on June 7-11.
