SUMMARY:UN Global Conversation With Ambassador Andrew Young: What a Wonderful World
DESCRIPTION:UN Virtual Global Conversation: Join the world’s biggest conversation \nKeynote speaker: Ambassador Andrew J. Young \nShare your perspective with the United Nations \nWhat: \n\nTo mark its 75th anniversary in 2020\, the United Nations will launch the biggest-ever global conversation on the role of global cooperation in building the future we want.\nThe UN75 initiative will work with partners from around the world to initiate dialogues within and across borders\, sectors and generations. The aim is to reach as many people as possible.​\n\nWhy: The objective is to stimulate longer-term discussion – and action – on reinvigorating global cooperation and on solutions to the biggest challenges we face. \n\nTo listen to their hopes and fears; and learn from their ideas and experiences.\nThrough these conversations\, the United Nations aims to build a global vision of 2045 – its centenary\, to increase understanding of the threats to that future\, and to generate ideas on expectations of global cooperation to secure that future.\nGlobal opinion polling and media analysis will be conducted in parallel to the dialogues to provide statistically representative data that can inform future communications and policy making.\nThe views and ideas generated will be presented to world leaders and senior UN officials at a high-profile event in September 2020\, as well as disseminated online and through partners on an ongoing basis.\n\nWho Can Participate:   \n\nAnyone can join this global conversation. While UN75 seeks to drive conversation in all segments of society – from classrooms to boardrooms\, parliaments to village halls – it will place special emphasis on youth\, and those who may not normally engage with the United Nations.

SUMMARY:Overview of the Brazilian Fintech Regulation and the paths towards Open Banking
DESCRIPTION:Brazil is one of Latin America’s most attractive destinations for international exporters and investors. It is the eighth largest economy in the world\, with GDP of over $3 trillion\, half of the total for Latin America. Brazil is the largest Fintech market in Latin America and fifth in the world\, with approximately 400 companies in the sector. \n  \nInvestment in Brazilian Fintech companies is growing rapidly. It has increased from $52 million in 2015 to $375 million in 2018\, and almost tripling in 2019\, reaching $1.6 billion. \n  \nThe efforts adopted by the Central Bank towards the adoption of open banking will increase market opportunities for e-banking\, e-commerce\, and attract millions of new users for the financial system. With a total population of 210 million\, Brazil has over 45 million unbanked adults. \n  \n\nBrazil’s Central Bank\, or BACEN\, regulates Fintech. In 2018\, the Central Bank allowed Fintechs to grant credit without the intermediation of a bank. The new regulation also provided for the control of credit Fintechs by investment funds.\nIn November 2019\, the Central Bank published draft rules or the regulation of open banking in Brazil. The Brazilian open banking model is still under review\, with input and support from the Brazilian Association of Fintechs (ABFintechs). The rules\, which will be introduced in phases started in the second half of 2020\, will make changes to the way that financial institutions and banks share transactional data. This will allow Fintechs to obtain new customers with a better offering of less expensive financial services and products\, while offering better security to banks and consumers.\n\nLearn about upcoming business opportunities in the sector\, understand the latest developments in the regulatory environment\, and learn about tools and resources to support your company’s market entry to Brazil directly from these experts: \n\nJonathan Ward\, Commercial Officer\, U.S. Commercial Service São Paulo\, Brazil\nMarcelo Carrullo\, Partner\, Drummond Advisors\nIngrid Barth\, Founder and COO\, Linker Bank\, and Executive Director\, Brazilian Association of Fintechs (ABFintechs)\nBruno Diniz\, Managing Partner\, Spiralem\, and Head of the Fintech Committee of the Brazilian Startups Association (ABStartups)\nBruno Drummond\, Executive Director\, Drummond Ventures

SUMMARY:Mitigating Export Finance Risk – Private and Government Resources
DESCRIPTION:A number of U.S. companies are growing by exporting products through international markets. When deciding to export\, business owners should consider several things: \n– Does exporting align with the company’s growth strategy?\n– Do we understand what it takes to export profitably?\n– How do I get paid? \nAs with all sales\, being paid in full and on time is key to exporting successfully\, and like most negotiations between companies\, financial transactions are influenced by local customs\, cultural norms and common practices. \nThe University of Georgia Small Business Development Center’s International Trade Center’s consultant Darrel Hulsey will help you identify payment methods and safeguards U.S. exporters can use to be competitive in international markets while reducing risk. \nSponsorship opportunities are available. If you are interested in sponsoring this program\, please contact LeAndrea Mikell at lmikell@wtcsavannah.org.
