For the President of InvestBraga, Carlos Oliveira, "Braga gathers the essential conditions for attracting sustainable investment, especially based on knowledge and technology, such as the international Bosch, Delphi, Fujitsu, Outsystems, WeDO and now Accenture, which have invested in the city".
Carlos Oliveira also adds that "Braga has a number of competitive advantages, especially highly qualified human resources, an enviable quality of life and a much more affordable cost of living than Lisbon and other European cities, and the same is true when it comes to costs for the companies".
