Porto Editora is the head company of the largest publishing group in Portugal and takes great pride in placing innovation at the core of its values.
As a pioneer in the use of technology in the editorial sector, Porto Editora has brought to the forefront innovative and disruptive solutions when creating digital content in areas such as education and literature.
From the digital encyclopedias and educational CD-ROM of the 90s, last century, to today’s Smart Book app, it was Porto Editora who delivered the first ebooks, the first e-learning platform for lower and upper secondary levels – Escola Virtual –, the first mobile dictionaries and the first hybrid textbooks with augmented reality tools, just to name a few.
True to its startup spirit, nurtured since its foundation in 1944, Porto Editora combines solid values of rigor, responsibility, proximity and excellence, which support the work developed in the several editorial areas in which it operates: education, fiction, non-fiction, children and teen literature and reference books.
Porto Editora Group holds a portfolio of companies and brands with a big focus on promoting Portuguese Language and Culture, such as Assírio & Alvim and Livros do Brasil, the BertrandCírculo Group and Plural Editores Mozambique, Plural Editores Angola and Plural Editores East-Timor.
Wook.pt, the largest Portuguese online bookshop, which offers a range of more than 9 million Portuguese and foreign books, is also part of the Porto Editora Group.
