Who We Are

Welcome to Link – Your Trusted Partner in Technological Transformation. Part of the Linkroad group, we combine technical depth with Iberian scale to deliver end-to-end solutions across the most demanding sectors.

History

Founded in 2000 as an INESC spin-off, Link Consulting was built at the intersection of academic research and real-world application. From the very beginning, we embraced a pioneering mindset — becoming one of the first successful internet-driven companies in Portugal and shaping our approach to innovation ever since.

Over the years, we have continuously evolved our capabilities across digital experience, application modernization, data, AI and cloud, supporting more than 350 clients in sectors such as financial services, energy and public administration.

Our growth has been driven by a consistent focus on engineering excellence, long-term client relationships and the ability to turn complex challenges into scalable solutions.
