EU Commissioner for International Partnerships Jozef Sikela will announce over €135 million in European investments for four projects in Brazil during the second Brazil-EU Investment Forum on 23 June 2026 in Brasília. The investments will focus on digital connectivity, energy transition, and Amazon protection, according to a press release from the Delegation of the European Union to Brazil published on 22 June 2026.
The forum, organized by the EU Delegation and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) in collaboration with the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), will also feature Sikela's opening address on the EU-Mercosur Agreement as a strategic step for competitive integration. The announcement will be followed by a press conference at 11:15 AM.
The event marks the second edition of the investment dialogue, which aims to deepen economic ties between the EU and Brazil. No prior coverage of this specific forum exists in the available record. The investments are expected to benefit Brazilian sectors such as digital infrastructure, renewable energy, and environmental conservation, while European companies gain access to strategic raw materials and bioeconomy opportunities. The forum will also discuss critical minerals and infrastructure, highlighting the EU's interest in diversifying supply chains. The announcement reinforces the EU's commitment to the Green Deal and digital transition, with potential positive impacts on local communities and environmental protection, though it may also raise concerns about resource extraction and market competition for domestic firms.
