"Being a Dutchman with an international career history on three continents, Portugal has always been a special place in the middle of a map, a potential destination that has always been on my radar. Three key criteria are among the reasons why I have invested in Portugal:
I) I am a man of the ocean and given the oceanic territory that this country has, much wider than its land, the opportunity to invest is exponential, and despite the opportunity still being born, we are starting to see a positive movement towards the Oceans .
II) The success of startups from the last decade and the current state of the nation, where I believe I have read for the last time that the volume of production of startups per year in Portugal is 13% higher than the European average, with a majority of startups passing through to “early stage”, created an attractive ecosystem.
III) Based on the startup criteria comes talent. Talent, which Portugal has not only managed to attract to its startup ecosystem, but also national talent with great ambitions and a strong academic background. I found world class partners and teammates in Portugal.
Ultimately, I believe this nation's current hyper-growth, along with my own drive and ambition, go hand in hand in building a thriving entrepreneurial future."
Businessperson
Reef Company
"I come to report my international professional achievement through the Pinto Machado Office. From our first contact until the present moment, I was very well attended by the lawyer Ana. Back then, I was very insecure about expanding my company in Portugal but I was very confident in doing so through her guidelines. Today I have my company open and in full operation thanks to her. Thank you for the professionalism of the lawyer Ana and all the affection and attention that was always given to me!"
CEO
Stars Spa
"Hello, I'm Samia Fiuza, Brazilian and I've lived in Lisbon since 2017. I'm a businesswoman in Brazil and when I came to Portugal I would certainly develop a Project over here. Security, simpler bureaucracy (it is much smaller compared to Brazil), low interest rates and economic stability were the factors that served as motivation to undertake in Portugal. However, I always suggest doing a market study to understand the customs of the Portuguese public and the market trends that are compatible with the project."
