Regional Government launches Invest In Azores platform to boost foreign investment
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.

Artur Lima signs Memorandum of Understanding with Startup Portugal
The Vice-President of the Regional Government, Artur Lima, signed today a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Startup Portugal at the Web Summit in Lisbon. It establishes a framework for cooperation to support the Region's entrepreneurial ecosystem. The MoU between the Regional Government of the Azores and Startup Portugal, the entity responsible at a national level for monitoring, tracking and controlling the process of recognising the startup and scaleup status, strengthens the commitment to supporting and promoting the regional innovation ecosystem. For the Vice-President of the Regional Government, this Memorandum will promote “the initiatives of the Azorean entrepreneurial community, giving it visibility as well as a national and international reach in a highly competitive global market.” The cooperation framework established "is aligned with the work being carried out by the Government, both in terms of promoting and strengthening Science and Technology Parks and attracting foreign investment," stated Artur Lima. “It is also essential to continue promoting the Azores as an attractive Atlantic hub for investment. The signing of this Memorandum falls within the external promotion strategy pursued by the Government,” emphasised the Vice-President of the Government. The Autonomous Region of the Azores has a dedicated space at Web Summit 2025. In this edition, which takes place between November 10 and 13, the Regional Government has secured the presence of fifteen Azorean companies from various sectors, including drone construction, biotechnology, telecommunications engineering, artificial intelligence and computer programming. “Web Summit is one of the largest technology fairs in the world. The presence of these fifteen companies is a strategic opportunity to demonstrate the excellence of regional innovation,” he said. He added: "Above all, it is the right forum for developing partnerships and attracting investment and talent." Web Summit is a flagship event on the national and global technological innovation scene. More than 70,000 participants from 157 countries have attended the ten editions to date. There are also 1,857 investors from 86 countries in attendance.
