French technology gained prominence in Hospitalar 2009

UBIFRANCE (French Agency for the Companies International Development) and the France Economy Missions network promoted a large participation of French companies in Hospitalar. As part of the celebrations for the Year of France in Brazil, 32 French companies participated in the fair.

These companies brought to Brazil high technology equipment and services. “The strong French participation confirms the growing number of French companies of the sector that are interested in the Brazilian market, some of them willing to transfer technologies”, says Eric Fajole, sales counselor of the France Economy Mission in Brazil.

For UBIFRANCE and the France Economy Missions network, organizers of the commercial events of the Year of France in Brazil, the Brazilian market increasingly attracts the French companies. “Brazil is the most important partner of France in Latin America, in terms of cultural, scientific, technical and commercial exchange cooperation”, Fajole reinforces.

In previous years, these suppliers would rather concentrate in Europe due to the geographic proximity and also because they already knew the region. Now, they opt for definitely approaching the Brazilian entrepreneurs and establishing new business partnerships in Brazil.
