Avila Business Centers launches new brand for workshops and networking

LISBON, March 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) 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 their products or services.

Carlos Gonçalves reinforces the importance of these new initiatives: "Our Business Center strategy passes by the promotion of regular networking sessions among our clients and 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".
