I spoke to Hugo Silva for Jornal Económico podcast ‘Dito ao Ouvido’, in which we talked about how a Tower Company works, Vantage Towers journey in Portugal and the future of the telecoms market. I truly enjoyed the experience (great format!) cause it challenged me to explain, in a simple way and in an informal environment, what we do on a daily basis and how end customers may benefit from our work. #somosVTportugal #towerco #towercoofchoice #businesstalk #businesspodcast #ditoaoouvido You can listen to our conversation in here🎙️

Rui Falcão provides a sharp analysis of Portugal’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, highlighting the need for improvement in several areas. His three proposals — tax benefits for investors, increasing liquidity in the early-stage market and enhancing global visibility for Portuguese start-ups — are essential to unlocking the country’s potential. While Portugal may not be able to compete in later-stage funding, it remains a promising hub for early-stage entrepreneurs, offering a solid foundation for growth. I hope to contribute to this mission by helping build more resilient, successful start-up teams ready to tackle all the challenges ahead. #StartupEcosystem #Entrepreneurship #PortugalStartups

🇵🇹 🛑 🧮 🦄 This is a story about why in Portugal we must stop counting unicorns. Suspension of disbelief is critical for #startup success. We need to be bold in imagining and creating the future 🚀 However, imagination only produces fairy tales, to create true value we need execution. Getting millions in funding 💰 is an amazing tool to achieve growth 📈 Getting millions in funding is no success metric. 🙅‍♂️ Getting millions in funding to get thousands in revenue is the definition of a bad investment and a bad business. I challenge the 🇵🇹 #startup ecosystem and all its stakeholders to stop counting unicorns and start counting millions (of revenue). Read my opinion piece in Jornal Economico (in Portuguese)

🇵🇹🍷🎙️ Entrevista rápida a Pedro Seixo, Cofundador da Santos & Seixo. Percorra as imagens 👉​ ​🤔 Quer saber mais sobre a nossa história? Visite o nosso site (https://bit.ly/3Y71xbG) e mate a curiosidade! ​ ​🇬🇧🍷🎙️ Quick interview with Pedro Seixo, Co-founder of Santos & Seixo. ​ ​👉 What was your vision when you founded Santos & Seixo?​ GIVE MORE MEANING TO LIFE. The search for a more coherent meaning in life, the desire to leave a legacy, an indelible mark for my children. This is what led me to venture into a world that wasn’t mine, the world of wine, but to which I had a family connection that encouraged me: Alzira Santos, the businesswoman who was my mother’s teenage companion, and also a wine enthusiast.​ 👉 What are the success factors for creating a wine brand?​ Creating a wine brand needs to be well thought out, structured, and based on three crucial pillars: deciding if we want an Off Trade approach (supermarkets and specialized stores), On Trade (restaurants, hotels, and bars), or both, aligning the strategy with oenology, and defining whether the brand will be cross-market, aimed at export, and if so, to which markets.​ ​ 👉 What does the wine sector mean to you?​ It has always been a passion of ours. Through it, we fulfill the desire to leave a legacy for our successors.​ 👉 What is the importance of owning vineyards?​ Santos & Seixo started without a winery or land, but as the company grew, acquiring estates became crucial. These acquisitions allowed us greater flexibility and credibility with our partners.​ ​ 👉 Why did you decide to buy Encosta do Sobral?​ Encosta do Sobral came from a friend who knew the previous owner. Honestly, the Tejo region was our last option, but when we saw Encosta do Sobral, we immediately recognized its potential. It’s a unique terroir with an existing winery and storage structure that allowed us to centralize all our operations.​ ​ 👉 What are your goals for the future?​ The goal is extremely ambitious: to become a leading wine company.​ ​ 🤔 Want to know more about our story?

"How to develop a 15 Trillion opportunity in the Private Markets", this was an inFocus at CNN Portugal topic discussed by our Chairman and CEO, Lawrence Calcano, André Themudo (Head of Wealth Iberia - BlackRock Iberia), Leslie Rubio (Country Officer, Portugal - Citi) and Jose Maria Soares Franco, CFA (Managing Director - Itau Private Bank) moderated by the great journalist Pedro Santos Guerreiro.   "Allocation to alternatives is small across the world when compared to the potential market size and if we have in consideration that just 20% of the advisors drive 80% of the flows" we can see how much we can do in terms of Education for this asset class. But we can start by all of us, listening to this conversation :) 🗣 Podcast link: https://lnkd.in/er3dqguX   📹 Video link: https://lnkd.in/eNRdN2ju

Here's ECO's article on the fresh Landing.Jobs Global Tech Talent Trends 2024 Report - Portugal edition. Ana Marcela did a great job analysing and summarising its insights on this article piece (strongly suggest reading it). The IT Work market is in a low condition, showing a lack of confidence on both Talent and Company sides. It seems no one wants to give a step out of the last crisis cycle and resume investment in creating new products (or evolving existing) to foster competitive advantages. IT Professionals have lost some of it's bargaining power to companies, and most companies are still mostly in hiring freeze mode (even if they say otherwise.) It's a strange situation, but I'm hopeful this situation is also a correction of some wrongdoings and a preparation for a major jump in this market. My bet be would be that 2024H1 will still be pretty most a 'still' year, but on 2024H2 stuff is going to start heating up, and the market machine will prepare for a new strong growth cycle. This is just my hypothesis, but would love to know your perspectives on this. I leave you some highlights to sharpen your appetite for the report (which you can download here https://lnkd.in/d9Zmb55q) ➡️ IT Salaries didn't grow from 2023 to 2024, signalling a clear market slowdown (average gross annual salary is at 46.5K€) ➡️ The percentage of IT Professionals in Portugal working remotely to a company abroad reduced from 22.6% to 16% ➡️ Hybrid work lost ground to both full-office work and full-remote work ➡️ The Gender Salary grap grew to 36% (males earning more than females), a terrible blow to diversity efforts ➡️ The percentage of IT Professionals in Portugal relocated from other countries grew to 15.7% If you thinks this is relevant content for your communities, please share. And would deeply appreciate your comments and perspectives, as this is a topic of deep importance for both tech talent and companies.

🌍 AICEP President Ricardo Arroja participated yesterday at Web Summit Lisbon to present Portugal as a country committed to sustainable economic growth and technological innovation. During his intervention, he highlighted the essential role of collaboration between the public and private sectors in addressing global challenges and promoting the development of sustainable solutions for a more prosperous future. 🗣 Ricardo Arroja also underscored AICEP's significant geographical reach and strong engagement with Portuguese and foreign companies. He explored the fundamental role of public policies in attracting investment and identifying the sectors and technologies that require the Agency’s attention and support. Areas such as quantum technologies, biotech, advanced materials, and blockchain were highlighted as key examples of sectors AICEP actively supports, ensuring that the most promising technologies are identified and nurtured early. The AICEP President also emphasised the need to support and promote future technology. He stressed that Portugal must continue to focus on advancing emerging technologies to remain competitive in the global economy. The AICEP President further discussed the growing importance of capital markets in promoting sustainable investments and innovation, alongside the critical role of AICEP in helping Portuguese companies adapt to a rapidly changing global economic landscape.

So here is the question... what is different about Portuguese providers compared to the US? Is it because they don't price people out? Is it because the CX is good including bundling? Or is it that they have not yet caught up with the move to single OTT providers being seen as providing full Television Platform Providers? Particularly when loosely aggregated with others? This is the question for every operator today.
