It was great pleasure collaborating with Francesco, an expert in entrepreneurship, and an active agent of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Algarve region. I strongly recommend Francesco.

António Ramos

I met Francesco about 20 years ago. We have worked together in different dimensions, always with deep professionalism and personal commitment. Very focused on results and committed to a long-term vision, in particular looking at the Algarve Region. It has been a privilege of working with Francesco and above all sharing challenges and dreams.
