The Island is like a European satellite near Africa and also an open gate to lusophone countrys and other islands linked with Madeira. Which are main objectives of the inclusive development of 01 Edu System. The natural links with the economic dynamism and the youth of Madeira and the Portugal, and of course the belonging to the European Union have reinforced the conviction of the founders in their choice of location.

The second phase of our project includes the development of a second digital platform for career coaching and growth talent, and the opening of an International ZONE 01school in Madeira. This International Collective Intelligence center will allow us to bring in Madeira young students from all the world for a high level training in code, and professionals from international tech company for digital reskiling. To put this in place, we will have to draw on many resources on the island. 

Would you say that Madeira offers more than a beneficial tax regime for international investors?

Madeira is International, easy to access and open to the world. As mentioned above, Madeira's special geographical location and its openness to the world remains a dominant point, placing us at the center of our objectives. The current tax advantage helps us to accelerate our growth and the local establishment of our company in Madeira. But what remains main is the mild and welcoming climate of the island and its inhabitants, its tropical nature and its extraordinary landscapes that are a pleasure to every renewed faith.
