Ubiwhere

We will participate at the Lisbon Summit 2015, which will be held at the Hotel Cascais Miragem, Cascais, on the 24th of February.

The Lisbon Summit is a special event bringing together the leading figures of Portugal’s government, including Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho who will be giving the Keynote Address, and also leaders from Portugal’s small, medium and large businesses, academia, major international investors, international creditors and more. This unique networking event will debate and discuss the immediate economic and political crises facing the country, as well as the sectors and strategies that have the potential to transform Portugal by 2030. 

During the day we will have the opportunity to network with international experts from across the finance, public policy, energy and education sectors, as well as major international investors.

Our CEO, Rui A. Costa, has been invited to speak on the panel discussion entitled “The Future of the SME Business Model”, that will occur between 15:15 – 16:00.

PANEL DISCUSSION: THE FUTURE OF THE SME BUSINESS MODEL
Portugal’s Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) suffer from the problem of scale - they are almost too small to compete and grow in the European market. Like most of Europe’s SMEs, they are also suffering from a lack of finance.

The panel discussion will address the following topics:
•    What is the future model for Portugal’s SMEs?
•    Will European wide initiatives such as COSME and the ECB’s recent deflation-busting strategy improve the resilience of Portugal’s small businesses?
•    What role can larger companies play in restoring health to the SME sector?

The individualities that are going to participate in the debate are as follows:
•    Jaime Silva, Advisor to Director-General, DG for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, European Commission
•    António Casanova, Chief Executive Officer, Unilever Jeronimo Martins
•    Rui A. Costa, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ubiwhere
•    José Franca, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Portugal Ventures
