PORTO of the FUTURE
The Porto de Futuro project aims to promote an impro-
ved educational system based on good management
practices in the business environment. It arose following
a challenged launched by the Porto municipal govern-
ment, urging companies to support the development of
17 school groups in the region.
In 2012 the new arrangement of school groups in Gre-
ater Porto was announced. Per this reorganization,
Ibersol now works with the António Nobre mega-group,
resulting from the merger of the António Nobre and
Vertical das Antas groups. The latter has been Ibersol’s
partner since the project began.
