Last update:

Rich history, innovative art, beautiful scenes and super friendly, laid-back locals! Just like its tourism, startup ecosystem has been cruising on a wave of success in Portugal, a small country that faces the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula.

Emerging as a nestling hub for the global startup community, Lisbon is one of the few favourite places to start a new business in Europe. Often seen as the next haven, it is becoming a creative and tech startup hub, helped by accelerator funding, tech incubators and others.

Notably, Lisbon (previously held in Dublin) is the home to Web Summit, the largest startup, and tech event of the world. According to a few reports, Portugal’s startup ecosystem is now growing twice as fast as the European average.

A significant factor here is the number of foreign companies using Portugal as a more convenient and affordable base to establish their digital platforms.  There are various factors contributing to this cause are better stability and security for young families, affordable cost of living, renting (office or house) is 80% to 66% cheaper, connectivity and more.

And so, here is the list of startups we collected through Dealroom where you can work in 2019.
