Both the country and all of us benefit from the entire ecosystem promoted by Startup Portugal. We have benefited a lot from the Missions Abroad. It helped us a lot to get to know places and people who could help us scale our business.

It was through Startup Portugal that we had the chance to visit the biggest technology fair in the world, in Las Vegas.

I would recommend Missions Abroad. It was essential for a company that was just starting, as we were. Not only did we make our first Portuguese clients thanks to it, but we were able to make partnerships with universities like MIT, Stanford and Berkeley, which was crucial.
