Last December, Sindmóveis Bento Gonçalves obtained the renewal of the agreement with Apex-Brasil to carry out the Orchestra Brasil and Raiz project in 2017. The new agreement expands the missions associated with fairs and investments in commercial intelligence for the companies.

In addition to the calendar of fairs and missions for the two segments of the project (see below), a public notice was issued for actions tailored to both manufacturing companies and designers. These resources are designed to build and consolidate the brands of Brazilian companies abroad, to internationalize their businesses or other innovative initiatives aimed at adding value to the exported product and/or service.

• Participation in the NYC Design Week, during the ICFF period, continuing the work begun in 2016.
