A 2010 article regarding the Olympics in Brazil:


"Brazil Olympics spurring green construction"

"The rise of green construction comes as Brazil has launched a plan for infrastructure investments worth nearly $1 trillion meant to bring roads, railways and ports into line with emerging-market competitors such as China, Russia and India -- which together with Brazil form the so-called BRIC nations."

and then this recent announcement:


MDV Glass and Research Frontiers Bring SPD Smartglass to Brazil

"We have followed the exciting growth of Research Frontiers and SPD-SmartGlass for the past several years. We also note the increased visibility and extensive performance and durability testing that Mercedes did with their introduction of SPD-SmartGlass on the Magic Sky Control roof on their SLK and SL roadsters, as well as in next year's new S-Class panoramic roof," said Georgios Fotopoulos, President and CEO of MDV Glass. "Brazil is a robust market with significant capital being invested in commercial and residential buildings, especially now as the country prepares for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Our company offers high-performance glass solutions. Originally we offered our customers liquid crystal glass for privacy applications, but a much larger market exists for glass that can also provide shading control. We believe SPD-SmartGlass, with its instant control of heat, light and glare, can ideally meet the aesthetic and energy-saving needs of architects and developers in our market, while also providing homes and offices additional security and privacy. We look forward to expanding our production capacity and product line to bring this state-of-the-art shading solution to the Brazilian market, at the time that our local industry demands clean energy and sustainable buildings."
