In early May 2026, a business mission to Brazil took place for companies in the creative industries.

For the ANO "AKI" delegation and participants, a dedicated venue was organized for the business program: b2b sessions were held with pre-matched Brazilian partners. A networking event on the same day helped build informal ties with representatives of the local industry.

The mission included 10 companies from the creative industries sector. More than 300 meetings were held during the trip.

A separate day was dedicated to on-site visits — the delegation personally visited companies and venues in São Paulo.

The program concluded with a visit to Gamescom LATAM — the Latin American edition of the world's largest gaming expo. In 2026 it drew 154,000 visitors, more than 13,000 business meetings, and participants such as Nintendo, PlayStation, Blizzard, Capcom, EA and Riot Games.
