A new business network is making its debut in the Algarve this autumn. The official launch of Friends in Business Algarve will take place on Monday, October 6 at 5.30pm at the Eden Bar Ferragudo, the group’s exclusive venue partner.
Created by Dutch entrepreneur Sandra Westein, Friends in Business Algarve is designed to bring together a diverse mix of entrepreneurs, creatives, freelancers, and business owners – both local and international – who are building their businesses in the Algarve.
“I saw so many talented people working hard in their own bubbles. What was missing was a regular space where we could come together, support one another, and grow,” says Sandra. “This network is about more than business – it’s about friendship, visibility, and community.
“The launch event will be a vibrant and relaxed evening with drinks, small bites, and a few inspiring surprises. Attendees will meet like-minded professionals, hear more about the network’s upcoming programming, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of Ferragudo’s Eden Bar.”
Following the launch, Friends in Business Algarve will host live networking meetups every 4-5 weeks on Mondays; each with a new theme, guest speakers, and plenty of space to connect.
To help kick-start this new initiative, Sandra is currently seeking launch sponsors for:
- Drinks and catering for the launch night
In return, sponsors will receive prominent visibility, including:
- Logo placement on the website
- Social media shoutouts
- A complimentary six month-membershipto Friends in Business Algarve
