LIDE's 25th anniversary
Upon reaching its 25th anniversary in 2026, LIDE solidifies its position as Brazil's premier business leadership network. The organization has evolved beyond mere connections into a global "soft power" ecosystem, bridging the Brazilian private sector's strength with key international decision centers like New York, London, and Beijing.
Present across all Brazilian regions, LIDE democratizes high-level discourse while aligning regional economic strengths with national priorities. This unparalleled footprint empowers agribusiness, industrial, and tech leaders with active influence, converting principled partnerships into tangible nationwide development.
Guided by Global CEO João Doria Neto and Chairman Luiz Fernando Furlan, LIDE drives essential corporate diplomacy. Its Strategic Board of top-tier minds functions as a forward-looking intelligence hub, anticipating trends and catalyzing global investments—now representing over 52% of Brazil’s private GDP.
