Global investment holding company prepares new wave of long-term investment projects in Portugal and appoints Fernando Fraga as Country Manager to lead the identification and development of opportunities in various sectors.
JTA International Investment Holding, an investment and private equity holding company based in Qatar, as part of its international expansion strategy and growing focus on selected European markets, has announced the establishment of its operations in Portugal. As part of its official entry into the Portuguese market, it has appointed internationally renowned Portuguese entrepreneur and former Director of Growth and Acceleration at Startup Portugal, Fernando Fraga, as Country Manager for the territory. In this position, the entrepreneur will be responsible for leading local operations, coordinating project development and establishing strategic partnerships with key players and investors.
Technology, energy transition, infrastructure and real estate represent initial areas of focus, but JTA's investment mandate is not limited to specific sectors and extends to any industry where long-term committed capital can generate sustainable and transformative results.
“Our country has world-class assets that have not yet received the level of international attention in terms of investment that they deserve. JTA's long-term approach and commitment to win-win partnerships are exactly what the Portuguese market needs. My role is to ensure that these assets find the right capital and the right strategic partners”, says Fernando Fraga, Country Manager for Portugal at JTA International Investment Holding.
Portugal's position as one of Europe's fastest-growing economies, with GDP growth consistently above the EU average, coupled with its role as a gateway between Europe, the Atlantic and global markets, has made the country a priority in JTA's expansion strategy.
“Portugal offers an appealing combination of strategic geographic positioning, solid economic fundamentals and a forward-thinking business environment. Our expansion into the Portuguese market reflects JTA's commitment to identifying high-impact investment opportunities that generate sustainable long-term value. We are confident that this step will open up new avenues for transformative projects in one of Europe's most promising economies.”, says Amir Ali Salemi, Founder and CEO of JTA International Investment Holding.
Through its office in Portugal, JTA aims to support high-quality, long-term projects, aligning international capital, strategic experience and robust governance with local ambition and opportunities.
