The company considers this project as a relevant instrument to support and consolidate the internationalization as well as the external market prospection for new clients, aiming to increase the export share on the business turnover.
 
In this way, the market development strategy is based on the geographic diversification, reaching into markets with current unexpressive presence, or no presence at all.
 
Under this project’s scope, we are supporting publicity actions on the 1st league football games, which are broadcasted on the Portuguese language channels, with higher visibility on the Portuguese speaking language countries in Africa. The publicity / communication actions supported by this program also cover the catalogue production and the creation of autonomous websites.
 
This project also supports the companies’ participation in a variety of international events, with the clear objective of promoting its own brands, increase the visibility and notoriety of the company/brand and facilitate the approach to potential clients.
