The number 7 represents perfection, conscience, intuition and will. The seven also symbolizes cyclical completion and renewal.

Together we elected 7 milestones from this 7-year journey: we formed a new organization, acquired a new building for our headquarters, we have a new brand and more than one million registrations. We celebrated 30 years of the Portuguese top-level domain. We have a new human resources and data protection policy.

After the first seven years of this new .PT are over, we have the feeling of an end of cycle and a renewal, as we felt at the beginning. With Volta a Portugal we traveled around the country to publicize the .PT, we have celebrated Portugal's victory in the EURO 2016 at all Portuguese airports, we run together annually with .PT in the jersey at B2Run, we supported young people to create projects on the Internet (Sitestar.pt and Apps for Good), companies becoming digital (3in1.pt and comérciodigital.pt) and we include those who thought they would no longer have that opportunity, (MUDA.pt, INCoDe.2030, #eusoudigital). We are an example inside and outside doors, also leading the Portuguese language ccTLD's association, LusNIC.

We deconstructed prejudices, aligned new strategies, when we needed to, we were resilient in the determination to do work with value, transparent and aligned with what was expected of us, without giving up!

Special thanks to those who followed this path with us: in addition to our associates - FCT, DECO and ACEPI-, also the Registrars, members of the Advisory Board, Arbitrare, suppliers, CNCS, DECO Jovem, CDI Portugal, and many others.

The renewed team also owes its daily work in the office, at home, present or virtual, to whom it is enough to launch a challenge to immediately embrace it, and with whom we celebrate 7 years, with the feeling we are used to having: always a fresh start. Symbol of security and trust. We are even more .PT

Aware of a past of more than 30 years, today we are recognized and have gained notoriety and we are prepared for what the future expects of us.
