It is worth highlighting that Natixis and several other companies relocated to Porto as the result of the he investment attraction office created by Rui Moreira, InvestPorto; this municipal support office to the city's economic development is linked with projects that have created more than 11 thousand jobs.

These figures show that Porto is indeed "the city that works" - and this is the signature of the Municipal Office that now takes a new guise, providing new services to cope with the emerging challenges of both the global and the local economy.
