Marcelino and Mansour: live stream<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

iCities is the company responsible for bringing Smart City Expo to Brazil. Since 2018, it hosts Smart City Expo Curitiba, featuring specialists from around the world. The third edition was slated for last March and 10,000 people were expected to attend. The event has been postponed until December, and the live streams are a solution to keep providing content.<\/p>\n

Mansour discussed Brazil\u2019s relations with the Arab countries. \u201cIn the early 2000s Brazil began to come up in the global scenario as a very strong partner of countries that need food products, agricultural products. That\u2019s where relations with the Arab world began, with demand being particularly strong in agriculture, with products to address food security issues,\u201d he said. He remarked that the Arab countries combined are currently the third biggest trading partner of Brazil\u2019s, the second biggest in imports of farm products from Brazil, and the biggest importer of animal-based protein products.<\/p>\n

Aside from ores, Brazil\u2019s trade with Arab countries basically consists of sugar, poultry and beef, maize, soy, and cereals, according to Mansour. \u201cAnd so over the last few years it began to dawn on us that Brazil is so strong and so big that it cannot focus in commodities alone,\u201d he argued. \u201cWe need to consider working with value-added products. There is a whole world we can explore besides chicken, sugar and maize,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Smart cities <\/strong><\/p>\n

Marcelino mentioned smart cities, including ones in the Arab world \u2013 Dubai, UAE; Casablanca, Morocco; and Doha, Qatar. \u201cDubai won for its use of blockchain in public administration, which is pure technology. We have three cities in the Arab world. There\u2019s a lot to work on, like these big cities that will surely attract businesspeople from all over the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
