21Knowledge has partnerships with universities, institutes, schools, scientific societies, other course providers, companies in the area of education, booksellers, etc.

21Knowledge develops most of its activity in the city of Porto, Portugal. Porto, also known as Oporto in English, is the second-largest city in Portugal after Lisbon. Located along the Douro river estuary in Northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centers, and its historical core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean.

Another of the places of choice for 21Knowledge activities, through the contact we have in the region, is the Madeira island. This island is turning into a platform that offers conditions for various international events. 21Knowledget has a protocol with the University of Madeira (cf. https://goo.gl/Vx6xBS) .

However, the large contact network in Europe and Africa (Luanda) allows 21Knowledge to operate outside of Portugal.
