Lisbon, October 17, 2024Link and Henko Partners today announced the creation of Linkroad Group, a new global player in the technology sector.

Portuguese origins, global ambition

The formation of Linkroad represents a significant milestone in Link Consulting’s strategic drive to become a global company. Founded in the pioneering incubator Aitec, Link Consulting has long played a transformative role in the digital evolution of large enterprises and public institutions, developing innovative solutions that have been instrumental in shaping the future of digitalization for businesses and services in Portugal.

By adding Bemobile, a specialist in digital design, communication strategy, and user experience, and Consultia IT, focused on business transformation and SAP system integration, Linkroad launches with a comprehensive and diverse proposition for the global market.

José Alves Marques, CEO of Linkroad, highlighted: “We are building a corporate platform that integrates decades of experience in technological innovation. Our goal is to replicate the success achieved in Portugal and Spain, expanding into new international markets and establishing ourselves as a center of technological excellence in the Iberian region. This new group brings together a wide range of skills, enabling us to provide integrated solutions that help our clients create value in an increasingly digital world.”

Synergy of technological innovation, strategy, and creativity

Bemobile, founded in 2013 in Barcelona, brings to Linkroad substantial expertise in digital innovation and communication strategy, especially in mobile channels. Its integration strengthens the group’s ability to create disruptive digital solutions and intuitive interfaces that enhance client engagement with technology. This capability is further enriched by collaboration with Link101, the group’s creative agency known for its 20-year legacy of creativity, communication innovation, and brand experience development.

Adriana Escrivá and Mar Gómez, CEOs of Bemobile, emphasized: “Joining Linkroad allows us to expand our capabilities and apply our expertise to a global network of clients. Our mission remains to transform the digital experience and actively contribute to the innovation represented by the group.”

Consultia IT, operating in Madrid and Barcelona with over 100 professionals and a presence in Latin America, complements the group’s offerings with its specialization in SAP and non-SAP system integrations, delivering tailored solutions for business transformation.

Rubén Cabal, CEO of Consultia IT, noted: “Our integration into Linkroad is a unique opportunity to accelerate our growth and expand the impact of our solutions in the international market. Combining our business transformation expertise with Link Consulting’s digital and design capabilities and Bemobile’s strengths creates a winning formula.”
