BRAKKEコンサルティングの視点

It is my pleasure to announce that Brakke Consulting will make its debut at the BIO International Convention 2026, taking place this June in San Diego, California — a meaningful milestone for our firm and the clients we serve.

On June 22, in partnership with Abiquifi, Brakke will host the Brazil One Health Summit, an official satellite event of BIO 2026. A curated group of Brazilian animal health startups will present investment-ready technologies to an audience of industry leaders, MAPA representatives, executives, researchers, and investors from around the world.

Our objective is to advance Brazil’s standing as a strategic biotechnology hub while reinforcing its global leadership in the veterinary sector. The Summit is grounded in a One Health framework — integrating animal, human, and environmental health — to bring high-potential Brazilian innovations to international markets.

ご参加いただくべき3つの大きな理由があります。第一に、投資や提携の準備が整った技術を持つ、ブラジルの新興スタートアップ企業に直接アクセスできます。第二に、MAPA、ApexBrasil、Abiquifi、FINEP、BNDESといった主要な関係者と交流する機会が得られます。第三に、ブラジルの比類なき生物多様性と市場規模が、新しい治療法や製品の検証においてどのような明確な利点をもたらすのかをより深く理解できます。.

詳細をお伝えする機会を歓迎いたします。 連絡してください directly — I look forward to connecting in San Diego.

Mauri Moreira, Senior Consultant — Brazil

あなたの意見 

Last week, based on Jeff Santosuosso’s viewpoint, we asked you about you/ your companies plan to attend the debut WVC Nashville Conference this August.  While the majority (45%) just learned about this conference, 26% of you or your company have committed to attending or exhibit.  While another 7% are still considering their plans. 22% are going to miss the debut. This week with summer like weather hitting the Midwest and East coasts, it makes us think about your summer vacation plans.
