Porto Leading Investor Euronext has opened a new headquarters in the centre of Porto, a historic and fully renovated building that once housed the Faculty of Pharmacy. The investment, described by the group’s CEO, Stéphane Boujnah, as "the most expensive project” ever made in real estate by Euronext, will allow the company to expand its Porto team to between 600 and 700 people.
In just over eight years, Euronext’s technology and services centre in Porto has grown from fewer than 100 employees to nearly 500, making Portugal the group’s third-largest location in terms of workforce. Local authorities and company executives alike have hailed the move as a testament to Porto’s ability to attract multinational investment, particularly in high-tech and knowledge-driven sectors.
