InvestPorto announces the relaunch of investporto.pt, offering a fresh experience for investors, business professionals, founders, and talent interested in Porto.
The new platform provides easy access to information about Porto's business ecosystem and investment opportunities, as well as range of new online services designed to support users doing business in Porto.
"Our goal with this new platform is to
showcase the many reasons why Porto is a top destination for business, while
also providing easy access to relevant information and support," said
Ricardo Valente, City Councillor for Economy, Employment, and Entrepreneurship.
"From our thriving economy and supportive business ecosystem to our rich
cultural heritage and quality of life, Porto truly has it all. We're confident that
the new platform will leave a lasting impression on visitors and encourage them
to take advantage of the investment opportunities available in our city."
The platform features a new message, "Why Porto",
that highlights six of the top reasons to choose Porto as a place to invest and
do business. The platform also invites users to "Discover
Opportunities" in nine strategic sectors that are
shaping the future of the city, including digital and IT services, business
service centres, and others. In addition, InvestPorto has gathered the success
stories of 48 companies in Porto, showcasing the city's competitive and
attractive ecosystem.
The platform includes a welcome message
from the Mayor of Porto, Rui Moreira, and City Councillor, Ricardo Valente,
emphasizing the importance of private investment for Porto's sustainable
development strategy. The platform provides a comprehensive overview of
InvestPorto and its mission heading the city’s investment promotion strategy,
as well as its solid track record in attracting, and supporting key investments
in the city. Since 2015, InvestPorto has supported over 450 investment projects
in Porto, creating over 17,800 jobs and attracting more than 1 billion euros in
private capital investment.
Visitors to the site can stay informed about
the latest business developments and events in Porto by visiting the "News & Events"
section of the platform. This section provides visibility and emphasis to the
new projects and companies in the city and is updated regularly to keep
visitors informed.
New online services
The platform also offers three new digital services that are designed to make it easier for users to do business in Porto.
The eSupport line
is a dedicated contact line where users can request tailored support and
information from InvestPorto about investing or doing business in Porto.
The InvestPorto B2B marketplace
is a network of local expert providers, vetted by InvestPorto, that offer a
wide range of business services to investors and companies. The marketplace is
open, easy to use, and free of charge, and provides an opportunity for local
companies to attract new clients. So far, 44 local service providers have joined
the marketplace in eight categories of B2B services, including accounting and
tax advisory, recruitment and HR solutions, legal advisory, real estate

The Incentives guide
provides up-to-date information about investment incentives in a simplified
way, making it easy for both private and corporate investors to find
information about available incentives, such as tax benefits, municipal
incentives, employment support schemes, and visa programs. So far, the tool has
information about 31 incentives divided into six categories. InvestPorto will
continue to update and add more information to the Incentives Guide to make it
the most comprehensive tool for investors to find information about this topic.
