Vision-Box is a worldwide reference born in a determined and inventive Portugal
On its 10th birthday special edition, Monocle magazine portrays Portugal as a proud and business-oriented nation, where Vision-Box is highlighted as an example of a business at the forefront of technology.
“In the hills above Lisbon sits Vision-Box.” This is how Monocle begins the portrait of the company that unveiled the first Automated Border Control solution ever to use biometric facial recognition. Having launched the company in 2001, it was from the top of these hills that Miguel Leitmann and Bento Correia, CEO and Chairman of Vision-Box, anticipated the use of electronic passports that directed the development of the most used Automated Border Control solution in the world: the self-service eGate.
CEO of Vision-Box Miguel Leitmann had the pleasure to share with Monocle this and more stories about the company and its staggering growth over recent years. Vision-Box is an example of the Portuguese stamina that has allowed the country to keep its traditional trades growing while pushing into innovative sectors such as technology, energy and mobility.
The full story can be found on the 64-page Portugal Survey Report featured in the latest March issue which covers how the country has been building a strong national brand.
