The 2nd U.S.-Brazil Innovation Summit—organized by the Council on Competitiveness, the Brazilian Competitiveness Movement (Movimento Brasil Competitivo/MBC), and the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (Agência Brasileira de Desenvolvimento Industrial/ABDI)— will take place at Georgetown University on September 20-21, 2010.
The Summit—led by Samuel R. Allen (chairman and CEO, Deere & Company, and chairman, Council on Competitiveness), John J. DeGioia (president, Georgetown University, and executive committee member, Council on Competitiveness), Jorge Gerdau (chairman and
president of the board of directors of Gerdau S.A. and Metalúrgica Gerdau S.A., and founder,
MBC), Deborah L. Wince-Smith (president & CEO, Council on Competitiveness), Erik
Camarano (president, MBC) and Reginaldo Arcuri (president, ABDI)—will bring together 300 C-
suite leaders from industry, academia and the public sector from Brazil and United States.
The Summit agenda will center on:
• Meeting global demand for energy, which will increase by nearly 50 percent in 20 years,
while balancing the need for sustainable growth and use of other critical resources, like
water;
• Supporting the bioscience spectrum—from agriculture to biofuels to health care—in a
world that will need a doubling of food production in 50 years;
• Building smart infrastructure—from transportation and logistics networks to broadband
to the “cloud”—and the range of policies necessary to support innovation;
• Cultivating smart places—creating regions of innovation in a world in which, by 2050,
more than two-thirds of the population will live in cities; and
• Fostering the platform for the most innovative mix of manufacturing and services that
will create the most value for society—the new firms, industries and jobs that will define
prosperity in the decades to come.
