Inspired by Adico

Adico, founded in 1920 by Com. Adelino Dias Costa belongs to a small group of SMEs in Portugal that have been awarded the 'SME Leader' award and is still today a family business with 100% Portuguese capital that has made enormous efforts over the years to break down the barriers to internationalization. Currently, one of Adico's approaches is designing "spoken Portuguese", a particularly sensitive area that has contributed and stimulated this dynamic, opening the door for Portuguese creators who have actually stuck with a career.
