About the ICT market in Portugal
 
In 2016, Portugal registered the opening of 114 companies per day and 35,000 startups registered in 2015 alone. Considered among the best countries for business in 2017, according to the FORBES ranking. The ecosystem of startups has grown at an average 2 times higher than the European average. By 2020, ICT investment in the country will increase at a rate of 4.8% per year, announced IDC. The shares destined to technologies of the third platform and in the so-called “innovation accelerators”, will add up to more than half of the market. Stratifying the data, IDC notes that “in 2020, the third platform and innovation accelerators will represent 52% of ICT expenditure in Portugal”.
 
In the Portuguese market, currently, around 52% of the budget of medium and large organizations is destined for traditional ICT. Near 26% is directed towards outsourcing and just over 20% is directed towards cloud, private or in model hosting. However, regarding the perspective of budget distribution for 2020, there is a decrease in the relevance of traditional ICT and outsourcing and an increase in the cloud, both public (from 5% to 11%), and private, and in 2020, 43% of the national corporate budget will be focused on cloud platforms (public and private), according to IDC Portugal.
