We're travelling to Lisbon on the 7th Feb, where we'll spend a couple of days connecting with the tech scene! Here's why we chose the Portuguese capital:
1. Two words...Web Summit
“Glastonbury for geeks” The worlds largest tech event and Lisbon is it's new home. A 400 start up conference in 2010 now welcomes over 10,000 people through the door each year! Speakers have included Prof. Stephen Hawking and Ronaldinho.
2. It's easy peasy to start a business
Officially the 10th easiest place to start a business, based on the following:
Starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency.
3. The sun, sea and surf...obvs
The long sunny days, the beach bar vibes and al fresco dining, there's no denying its a very appealing lifestyle! Everyone speaks English, there’s a big tech talent pool, and it's so much cheaper to live compared to London.
....Maybe we won't come back!!!
