  24. Platform INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE UK Portuguese Speaking Markets’ FDI PORTUGAL BRAZIL

  25. Platform “Having a similar culture and speaking the same language we are putting down two relevant barriers and giving comfort to the other part.” Mr Carneiro also recognises that using this route Sage “is perhaps progressing faster in Brazil”. “Using Portugal as a platform to Brazil has plenty of advantages, the main of which is the Portuguese language (...) project documents in Brazil are in Portuguese and the understanding of business culture make it a lot easier for the UK to gain business if a Portuguese partner is involved.” “Common language and culture gives immediately an edge. It is easier, quicker and therefore more productive to work. If we combine this with cost efficiencies, industrialization and knowledge we can see how far a good working relationship can generate.”
