Skills and knowledge

Ms Neto commented: ‘With the new Desk we plan to provide clients from Italy with more effective support which will be based on in-depth knowledge of the Italian market and the needs of its companies and individuals that decide to invest in Portugal or in other Portuguese-speaking countries.
‘We will also be in a perfect situation to provide support to Portuguese clients who want to invest in Italy, using the same skills and knowledge of the two countries involved.’
