While ushering in 2023, Portugal can look forward to brighter economic prospects based on a solid performance in 2022.

The combined enterprise value of start-ups founded and headquartered in Lisbon has grown 27 times since 2016. Moreover, the figures for the exports of goods and services have reached historical highs and an increasing number of foreign companies are investing in Portugal. In addition to this, unemployment rates have remained low and there is significant investment in R&D and innovation, as well as major developments in energy transition and in the Green economy.
