Our Journey
Founded in the year 2000 as a spin-off of INESC, Link Consulting has been at the forefront of transforming businesses through digitalization. The name “Link” itself embodies our commitment to connecting and integrating technology seamlessly.
Visionary Approach
As one of the first IT services companies in Portugal, Link has consistently embraced innovation.

With a robust client base of over 350 across financial services, utilities, and public administration, we showcase our capacity to provide top-tier services.
Strategic Growth
In response to the growing importance of digital technologies, we’ve experienced long double-digit growth, attracting the attention of Henko Capital Partners, a Spanish private equity firm. Their recent investment underscores their belief in Link’s potential to be a leading player in the IT services field in Iberia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
