Florida Polytechnic University is growing its international impact and presence through a new partnership with the Fulbright Commission Brazil to strengthen its alliance with the South American country.
The agreement opens the door for new academic collaboration and will enable Brazilian researchers and scholars to conduct research at the Lakeland-based STEM-focused university alongside Florida Polytechnic University students and faculty.
It’s an opportune academic partnership, particularly for Florida’s economic growth, with a report from Select Florida finding that trade between Florida and Brazil has reached nearly $23 billion as of 2022. Florida is also home to nearly a half million Brazilian residents.
