Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics

Growing in one of the most attractive cities in Europe!

Welcome to the Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics 180 Degrees Consulting branch.

The Lisbon branch of 180 Degrees Consulting was created at the beginning of 2016 with the aim to bring top university talent to non-profit organizations, transforming good organizations into great ones via high-quality and uniquely affordable consulting services. Through the recruitment of students from different backgrounds, nationalities, and study paths we create teams that are tailored for our projects.

After our first season, we were rewarded with the Best New Branch Award for Europe/Middle-East/Africa in 2016, recognizing the effort the executive team and the consultants put in the first round of projects successfully completed.

Since 2016, we have successfully completed 31 projects for 27 different organizations. For the future it is our hope to keep achieving new goals as we grow, as well as broaden our horizon, always delivering high-quality services to our partner organizations.
