The Regional Secretary for Economy, Tourism and Culture took part this afternoon in the celebration of Connecting Software's 20th anniversary and highlighted the importance of this company for Madeira's economy.
Eduardo Jesus stressed that Connecting Software is a company linked to the technology sector that operates globally, and that it expanded to the island through the Madeira International Business Center. “This means that, through this company, Madeira is present all over the world,” he said, referring to the international impact of Connecting Software's operations from the archipelago.
Another point highlighted was the fact that the company's establishment in Madeira has also attracted professionals from different nationalities, thus making a significant contribution to the growth of the regional economy.
“This sector has been growing year after year, especially in the last five years, with a significant increase in activity. This growth can be measured not only through the number of companies linked to the technology sector, but also through the invoicing that is done from Madeira,” he emphasized.
As a final note, he pointed out that this is an industry that does not depend on importing raw materials or exporting finished products. “This means that, in this case, professionals based in Madeira only need to have good technological accessibility and the capacity to produce technological solutions. Madeira, therefore, has a competitive advantage in this respect over other territories,” he concluded.
