Lisbon, December 12th - The Portugal Agora platform, together with Link To Leaders, is organizing the V Link to Portugal Forum on Tuesday, December 19. Starting at 6pm at the Corinthia Hotel in Lisbon, the conditions for establishing Portugal as a hub for Talent and Innovation will be debated.
The event will feature a speech by Diogo Mónica, president of Anchorage Digital, a US-based fintech company and one of the "unicorn" companies of Portuguese origin.
Link to Portugal, promoted by Portugal Agora and Link To Leaders, is an initiative that aims to connect the national diaspora and Portuguese working from Portugal to the world, and to gather contributions for the country that we aspire to in the near future.
According to Carlos Sezões, president of the Portugal Agora platform, "In this event we intend to clarify the conditions for attracting talent - on a scale and in a sustainable way - and creating innovation and value, in this context of transformation of our societies. And what role our diaspora can play around the world to trigger relevant opportunities for this goal."

About the "Portugal Agora" platform
É um projeto de cidadania que pretende promover uma visão para o nosso País assente em 4 dimensões (Portugal Atrativo, Portugal do Conhecimento, Portugal Empreendedor e Portugal Resiliente), com o intuito de facilitar a passagem da estratégia à Acão – gerando propostas concretas para políticas públicas ou iniciativas da sociedade civil. O projeto foi construído por um grupo de cidadãos (mais de 400 subscritores) que se disponibilizaram a promover uma plataforma para a concretização da visão referida. O seu objetivo será consolidar conjuntos de propostas temáticas de intervenção e respetiva divulgação e discussão pública. Informações adicionais: http://www.portugalagora.com/
