Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Lisbon, Novabase has over 1,800 professionals and maintains offices internationally. In recent years, Novabase executed significant strategic changes including the divestment of its IT staffing business through the sale of NBASIT-Sistemas de Informação e Telecomunicações in early 2025 to focus more sharply on core technology consulting and digital innovation. It completed a share buyback program in late 2025 to strengthen shareholder value. Novabase also continues to innovate through its subsidiaries, such as Celfocus, which partnered in AI-driven projects showcasing digital monetization and customer experience enhancements. Additionally, Novabase supports pioneering initiatives like the Formula Student Lisbon project, reflecting its commitment to technology advancement and applied innovation. These moves underscore Novabase’s strategic focus on expanding its digital transformation services and consolidated technology solutions leadership in its target markets.
