Vice-Presidência do Governo Regional

The Regional Government of the Azores, through the Vice-Presidency of the Regional Government, has just launched the Invest In Azores digital platform to boost foreign investment and promote the Region internationally.

Invest In Azores will congregate all institutional communication on business opportunities, available incentives and competitive advantages of the Autonomous Region of the Azores, serving as an operational platform for attracting foreign investment.

The new platform will integrate all activities for prospecting and monitoring potential investors into a single channel, projecting the international visibility of the Azores through a strategy of proximity, credibility, and continuity.

For the Vice-President of the Regional Government, Artur Lima, the launch of Invest In Azores "is clearly a demonstration of the Government's action to strengthen the presence of the Azores on the national and international scene, in an increasingly competitive global context."

The government official emphasised that the Azorean Government has been creating competitive conditions to attract investment, "including a highly advantageous tax system, modern infrastructures and a strong commitment to research, innovation and entrepreneurship."

The Region "has been following a path of economic and technological transformation, Artur Lima stated, adding, however, that "the Government continues to take action to boost foreign investment, promoting diversification, modernisation and competitiveness in the Azorean economy."

"Our privileged position, at the crossroads between Europe, America and Africa, makes the Azores a natural hub for global business and investment," he said.

This location “is now strategic for global digital connectivity and sectors such as research and data science,” pointed out the Vice-President.

In this regard, "the Azorean Government has been working to promote the Region as the ideal destination for investment in these and other sectors," he said. 

“It is this same spirit that was present when the Region joined DETA, the International Alliance for Disruptive and Emerging Technologies, this year,” noted Artur Lima.

“These are firm steps in a broader strategy that seeks to integrate the Azores into global innovation and investment networks,” he concluded.
