OPEN4BUSINESS
The platform "#Open4Business" is an initiative of VOST Portugal and the Cabinet of State for Digital Transition, within the scope of the Covid-19 Digital Response Office, which is led by the Minister of State, Economy and Digital Transition, Pedro Siza Vieira.
At a time when the whole country is preparing for a gradual opening of the economy, it is important to provide entrepreneurs - regardless of their sector or size - with a tool that helps to inform all citizens, in a simple way, which businesses / services are opened to the public, what time restrictions exist (if any), and what services are available.
It is extremely important for citizens to have access, on an official platform and with validated data, to information about which establishments / companies are opened in their area of residence, and what schedules are practiced, avoiding travel in vain or a greater unnecessary distance.
These two concerns give reason to the existence of the platform "#Open4Business", which is now available to everyone.
