What the community says

Tiago Marinho

Student

VIANA ABORDO is an excellent platform for listening to young Viana who are not satisfied with the aging demographic and entrepreneurship of the city. VIANA ON BOARD has to be pragmatically, the catalyst for mentalities and, more importantly, for political actions that respond to all the concerns expressed by the nonconformists.

On a cold afternoon in February last year, I was invited with my business partner to participate in the 'Viana a Bordo' event. I was surprised to see a large crowd from inside and outside Portugal. It was obvious that whoever was behind this initiative was doing things well, hence the large crowd of students and businessmen present. The event was casual and flowed well. A typical Viana a Bordo event invites startups to take the stage and present their ideas and projects. I was also invited to share my experience in creating a company in Viana do Castelo and how we deal with the challenges. A big thank you to the 'Viana a Bordo' team for creating this initiative. It's an inspiration for anyone thinking about starting a business.

Viana abordo is an uncomplicated moment of collaboration, where the CEO, the student, the entrepreneur, the governor, the unemployed, the teacher, etc. they turn into mere people who like Viana, sitting on a horizontal bench, and where knowledge, experiences, ambitions, energy and even emotions are naturally shared.

VIANA A BORDO is an excellent listening platform for youth Viana which is not satisfied with the demographic and entrepreneurial aging of the city. VIANA A BORDO has to be pragmatically, the catalyst of mentalities and, more importantly, of political actions that respond to all the desires expressed by the nonconformists.
