Summary

Brazil is rapidly emerging as a world leader in innovation and development in the pharmaceutical, medical device and food industries. Stakeholders ranging from multinational companies to small startups are staking a foothold in the region. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) are working together to safeguard the integrity of the products being exchanged between the two countries and by extension across the globe.

Understanding the current legal, regulatory and economic environment for the development and sale of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and food in both countries is imperative for anyone doing business, or working with clients who are doing business, between the two countries. Join the Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI) for a two-day conference where government officials and internationally renowned experts will discuss pharmaceutical, medical device, and food law, regulation, and policy in the US and Brazil.
