The CEO of the BEL Group participated in a lunch debate on the theme: “Global Entrepreneurship: where we were, where we are and where we are going. The event took place at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa on 27 May and was organized by the International Club of Portugal. This is a topic particularly dear to Marco Galinha, who started his business career at an early age by creating Bel Network Solutions, a company specializing in software development, when he was only 20 years old. The responsible entrepreneurship matrix that has always guided his business approach leads him to plan the Group’s long-term future, diversifying its areas of activity and building up a valuable real estate portfolio, which makes the Group’s CEO a speaker with recognized expertise in the topic under discussion.

The International Club of Portugal’s mission is to promote and disseminate culture and knowledge, bring together diversity, and generate creativity from different people, institutions, cultures, countries, and continents. It was founded in 2007 with the broad objective of creating a multicultural and multinational space for sharing knowledge and experiences in all areas of society, promoting cultural, social, business, sporting and scientific activities, among others.

For the third consecutive year, a group of employees from various BEL Group companies took part in the WellBeing Games. This is the largest inter-company event in the country dedicated to promoting well-being, health and team spirit. More than 70 companies and around 2,700 people took part.

Representatives from various BEL Group companies were present, including Active Space Technologies, Comsoftweb, BEL Distribuição, Amaral & Filhos, Grupo BEL, S.A. and VASP – Distribuição e Logística. Throughout the day, in addition to the competitions, participants had access to a series of complementary activities: HIIT classes, yoga, Pilates, massages, Tibetan bowl concerts and even pickleball clinics. A program designed to promote balance between body and mind, accessible to everyone, even those who were not competing. This day was not just about sport. It was also an opportunity to engage and promote quality of life in a professional context.

The BEL Group Newsletter can now be read on the usual platforms. In May, the highlight was the largest corporate team-building event, the WellBeing Games, which brought together more than 2,700 people at the University Stadium in Lisbon.
