The President of the Government of the Azores, Vasco Cordeiro, highlighted the role of the Azores as a privileged meeting point between countries and continents offering the conditions to host more and larger private events on a global scale.
Vasco Cordeiro spoke at the opening session of WorldConexall 2018, an international conference promoted by GlobeStar Systems taking place on São Miguel Island until June 4- 6.
Reiterating that the Azores are a “gateway to Europe,” by hosting this type of events “they also are historically and geographically a meeting point between several countries and continents”,” said the President of the Government.
“One of the major challenges countries and governments around the world face in this area, concerns the importance of establishing the best possible link between the growing needs of health systems and how new technologies may respond to these needs,” he added.
President Cordeiro also highlighted the ties of GlobeStar Systems founder and CEO, David Tavares, to the Azores. “Despite having left early for other places, particularly Canada, he has never forgotten his island of São Miguel.”
