The sovereign world crisis has affected Europe/Portugal with poor economic growth and financial difficulties, but today, after significant restructuring, we see enormous business advantages: cost efficient, high qualified human resources, available technologic know-how, and solid established services and products. We have specialized in finding, analyzing and acting on these opportunities.
