Testimonials

‘It's time for an association of Family Businesses to take on the role of representing these companies, but for the Association to be able to speak, it's absolutely necessary that we, the members of the Association, have the courage to support, encourage and enforce it to be an active voice, independent of power.’
Sic. Alexandre Soares dos Santos,

‘NIL Meetings are made up of various components. They consist of business visits, round tables and recreational moments. Being able to combine work and leisure is fundamental: working is very important, but so is relaxation. Not to mention social part of networking as people and also as professionals is crucial.’

Board Member of Gelpeixe
