Gonçalo dos Reis Martins and João Bravo da Costa to speak at Agenda Africa 2017 event in London

Gonçalo dos Reis Martins, a partner from PLMJ Capital Markets, and João Bravo da Costa, a senior associate from the PLMJ Angola Desk, are to join the panel of the conference organised by the Iberian Lawyer, which will discuss the topic "Sub-Saharan Africa – Turning the corner in 2017". The conference takes place in London on 5 April.

The event, which is once again sponsored by PLMJ, focuses on business opportunities in Portuguese-speaking Africa, and it will welcome investors and potential investors in these markets, representatives of companies and financial institutions, and legal specialists. This event is now in its seventh edition and has been a great success because of its informal approach, which fosters both networking and the discussion of hot topics.

Gonçalo dos Reis Martins will address the topic of "financing projects in Mozambique and trends in infrastructure projects", while João Bravo da Costa will speak on the "implementation of government diversification programmes in countries such as Angola".

The topic of Portuguese-speaking African countries is one of particular interest to PLMJ. In a few short years, PLMJ has built a solid network of partnerships - PLMJ Network - based on the synergies created by a common language and culture. The countries iof PLMJ Network include Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé and Príncipe. The firm’s strategy is to expand to new markets, with a particular focus on countries where Portuguese is spoken, and to increase the number of international clients and business.
