LIDE Group business network

About LIDE

LIDE (Grupo de Líderes Empresariais) is a prominent Brazilian corporate organization focused on business networking, economic development, and high-level corporate communication. Founded in the early 2000s, the group serves as a bridge between the private sector and government entities, organizing summits, forums, and awards that influence the economic landscape in Brazil and abroad.

Origin and Manufacturing

Unlike physical consumer goods, LIDE's 'product' is its membership and corporate events. It was founded in São Paulo, Brazil. While its primary operations are rooted in Brazilian territory, LIDE has expanded internationally through 'LIDE Units' in several countries, creating a global network of Brazilian and foreign entrepreneurs.

Ownership and Strategy

The group was created by João Doria, a Brazilian businessman and politician, and continues to be managed by the Doria family through the Grupo Doria. It remains a privately held Brazilian entity, maintaining its headquarters in São Paulo and operating as one of the most influential lobbying and networking platforms in Latin America.
