The daredevils of industry

Developing winning business models is no easy task. Sometimes the expectations created are huge, but the outcome not so. On the other hand, there are some people who take risks and succeed. Examples of this are provided by the various entrepreneurs and companies that we introduce to you in this issue, no. 118, of V&G. We talk about brands responsible for producing objects as diverse as footwear, household appliances, mattresses and marquees, but also brands dedicated to tourism, technology, consulting and services, which operate in the domestic market and abroad. Sectorial policies for the industry are not always supported by the competent authorities, however, and after listening to the various entrepreneurs in this issue, we’ll go as far to say that they are daredevils in their field, tenaciously focused on keeping their companies at a level of excellence, both nationally and internationally. That’s why we have gathered names such as António Saraiva, ex-president of CIP; Fortunato Frederico, founder of Kyaia; João Paulo Ferreira, Country Manager of Haier Europe; Paulo Abrantes, founder of the Decisões e Soluções Group; Kate Machado, CEO of Sleep 8 and Norberto Fernandes, one of the faces of BF Consultores and WhiteCode; while at the same time introducing you to Limalha, a hardware and fittings company; Telfor, a company dominating the awning business, together with L. Pereira and Converflex. Pereira and Converflex, all awaiting to be discovered in this issue. Finally, soak up the words and reflections of the Ukrainian behind the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize winning organisation, the Centre for Civil Liberties, Oleksandra Matviichuk. Before, finally, setting off on a trip to Cambodia to recharge your batteries with positive energy to face new challenges in life. Happy reading!
