How do you describe Second Wings? Who are your services aimed at?
We are strategic partners for entrepreneurs, investors and startups from all over the world who want to expand and thrive in Europe, with an innovative and dynamic ecosystem like Portugal as their starting point. We work
with high-potential projects that bring innovation, create jobs and intend, from Portugal, to consolidate their international presence and stand out as a benchmark in their sectors. We support businesses that not only want to grow, but also have the ambition to export products and services all over the world.
How do you support these entrepreneurs? In what areas?
Our support is not limited to bureaucracy or strategic plans – we are here to drive business forward. We identify market opportunities, connect companies with the right partners and help build solid, sustainable operations. We facilitate access to qualified talent, funding and networks that really make a difference. The aim is not just to support entry into a new market, but to integrate in a strategic and sustainable way, maximizing all opportunities for growth.
What are the main points you highlight about the process of working with these entrepreneurs that sets you apart and ensures a “smooth integration” into the new market?
What sets us apart is that we look at each client as a partner. There are no standard solutions – each company has its own path, and our role is to help design the right strategy for rapid and sustainable growth. Our team is made up exclusively of successful entrepreneurs and specialists with years of experience in their fields, which, together with our network of contacts, allows us to accelerate processes and position partner companies in ecosystems where they can really make a difference.
What advantages are there for entrepreneurs and the positioning of their companies in the market when they use the services provided by Second Wings?
The main advantage is that we ensure that our clients not only enter the European market, but do so strategically and with impact. We know that time and resources are valuable, so we avoid unnecessary detours and connect directly with concrete opportunities.
Which markets are currently particularly interested in trading and investing in this region?
Markets such as the US, UK, Brazil, China, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates stand out, but also countries where there is instability and companies are looking for safer places to grow. The environment of innovation and the quality of the talent available make Portugal increasingly attractive to businesses that want to scale internationally.
Does the portuguese-speaking market present interesting opportunities that are worth keeping an eye on? Are there any sectors that particularly stand out?
Absolutely! Access to the market in Portuguese-speaking countries is one of Portugal’s greatest competitive advantages. Entrepreneurs who set up here are not only entering Europe, but also gaining privileged access to markets such as Brazil, Angola and Mozambique. Sectors such as technology, health, renewable energies and the creative industry are some of the areas with the greatest growth and demand in these markets.
