According to Thiago Y. Matsumoto, from Atlantic Hub's business development area, who is organizing the business trip, the objective is to show the participant how the startup and investment ecosystem is heating up. “We will take participants on technical visits that will take place in and around Lisbon. We will visit major players in the Portuguese market, the so-called Portuguese 'unicorns', as well as investment funds”. Lisbon is considered the startup capital of Europe, according to the executive, thanks to several actions and the events Web Summit and Lisbon Investment Summit, which is part of the schedule of the Brazilian mission.
“The ICT sector in Portugal has been growing exponentially, realizing that innovation and entrepreneurship can make the country grow in a sustainable way. Thus, the government encourages and promotes actions for the development of the sector”, highlights Matsumoto.
