Avila Business Centers launches new brand for

workshops and networking

The Avila Corporate Club – Workshops & Networking Events is going to be a
privileged place for Avila Business Centers’ clients to exchange contacts and
share business experiences.
Lisbon, 10th March 2011 – The Avila Business Centers, a company of turnkey physical work
spaces renting and leader in the virtual offices business, is going to start, on the next Monday,
14th March, a series of workshops which are going to happen together with the launch of the
brand Avila Corporate Club - Workshops & Networking Events.

The first one is going to be subordinated to the theme Corporate Communications 3.0: LinkedIn
& 4 G and it will be ministered by Ricardo Andorinho, CEO from MBU Intelligence, a company
with its head office in one of Avila Business Centers’ offices. This workshop will take place in
the TB Store auditorium (Avenida 5 de Outubro, 26B), an Apple Premium Reseller store,
between 10 and 13 hours.

The Avila Corporate Club translates itself in a set of free training initiatives with an
entrepreneurship networking component, intended to clients and partners of ABC. These
workshops are innovating in Portugal, since there isn’t a Business Center developing this kind
of initiatives.

The idea came from the fact that Avila Business Centers have currently 300 clients from
different professional activities, being able to provide to them business synergies opportunities
through an informal networking, on a workshop environment. Accordingly to Carlos Gonçalves,
Avila Business Centers’ CEO, this kind of initiative “makes all sense in this economic recession
context and need of exchange of contacts and promotions among companies”.

Avila Corporate Club events are going to be organized every two month and will take place at
Avila Business Centers’ premises or in auditoriums of partner companies during one morning.
“The number of participants does not exceed 30, to facilitate the interaction and the exchange
of contacts in order to potentiate partnership and business relationships”, explains Carlos
Gonçalves.

The mission of these workshops will be of promoting the competence transmission and the
contacts exchange among companies having a virtual office or a physical office at Avila
Business Centers, being an excellent opportunity to potentiate new businesses on and informal
environment. Considering most of them are micro companies and SME in a startup phase, this
is a good option to contact with other companies.

Avila Business Centers invites a client or a partner to minister the workshop, which translates
itself in a training session with a small commercial component where it is possible to promote
the company. It is given priority to companies which highlight themselves by the innovation of

business partners, besides inviting them to present workshops on innovating themes, as it’s the
case of this first workshop. It is an excellent opportunity for companies to acquire knowledge
and to promote among each others.”

As for Ricardo Andorinho, speaker in this first workshop on the 14th of March, “the participation
of MBU Intelligence in this workshop represents an excellent opportunity for small and medium
size companies to get in touch with innovating strategies of online marketing, through a
LinkedIn tool, besides getting to know the 4 G, which is still a recent model, but represents a
new paradigm in the way of thinking and of managing the organizations human resources. MBU
Intelligence has a practical approach of these themes which fits perfectly on the format
conceived by Avila Business Centers”.
