The annual "Brazil-China Innovation Dialogues", a joint initiative of the Institute for Brazil-China Studies and the Alexandre Gusmão Foundation, is a platform for the discussion of trends and challenges to innovation and investment policies in Brazil and China with a particular emphasis on responses to global challenges. Its purpose is to create the basis for a continuous exchange among policy makers, researchers and firms interested in the processes and people involved in fostering investments and innovation in Brazil and China.

The 2017 edition of the Dialogues will promote discussion on how changes in the dynamics of International Relations and economics of production are reshaping the multilateral agenda and affecting how we conceive national and global strategies for investment, finance and innovation.

The Dialogues are organized with keynote addresses on each theme followed by a round table discussion amongst stakeholders. The concluding session points to issues which warrant continuous policy focus.
