We were thrilled to have Aeroporto de Cabo Frio joining us once again as a global digital sponsor, this time in our EIC Live e-vent: Opportunities with Karoon. We thank Rodrigo de Abreu and Aeroporto de Cabo Frio for their continued support of our events. As a recap of the event itself, Tim Hosking, General Manager for Karoon in South America, gave attendees an insight into current projects the company is involved in, such as the Baúna field in the Santos Basin. Tim also looked at supply chain opportunities available with Karoon, answering various questions on the topic during the Q&A session.

For our upcoming events, we are very excited to be partnering up in May with the British Chamber of Commerce in Brazil to deliver a Brazil-UK Energy Collaboration Forum. This forum will seek to develop partnership in the energy industry, gathering operators, contractors and others from the UK to highlight their activities in the sector here in Brazil, as well as projects and business opportunities. The forum will also seek to showcase supplier presentations from EIC members. More information on this event will be sent out in due course.
