Others

• Senar (Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Rural): National rural training service that is a core strategic partner delivering the 400 courses / 3,000+ trained referenced by the subject; not a competitor but an enabling ecosystem participant whose cooperation determines the subject's training scale.
