Our tech hub in Lisbon
A tech hub dedicated to actively driving your company’s future growth and innovation
Portugal has emerged as a leading destination for tech talent and companies, thanks to its innovative spirit and welcoming cultural environment.
As a member of the European Union, Portugal offers numerous advantages for businesses looking to grow and succeed on a global scale.
In recent years, the Portuguese government has heavily invested in the development of its startup ecosystem, providing funding opportunities and promoting internationalization as a key strategy to drive entrepreneurship and IT innovation. As a result, Lisbon has become a top destination for tech talent and companies seeking expertise, collaboration, and growth.
Portugal’s role as a European tech hub is further solidified by Web Summit, one of the world’s largest technology conferences, held annually in Lisbon since 2016. This global event attracts thousands of tech leaders, startups, and investors, showcasing Portugal’s vibrant and dynamic tech ecosystem to the world.
Portugal is an ideal location to invest in a tech hub due to several key factors:
- A strong pool of tech talent
- Timezone compatibility with major markets
- An open and collaborative working culture
- Cost-effective operations
- Excellent safety and quality of life
This combination creates a thriving and innovative business environment that supports sustainable growth and success.
At INSCALE, we recognize the immense potential that Lisbon offers within the tech industry. That’s why we have established our office in the heart of the city. From here, we build high-performing tech teams composed of skilled professionals who are dedicated to delivering flexible, high-quality solutions for businesses worldwide.
Lisbon: A Hub of Opportunities for the Tech Industry
Every year, Portugal produces over 4,000 graduates and skilled professionals, positioning the country as an exceptional destination for the tech industry. Lisbon’s talent pool is celebrated for its outstanding skills, ranging across software development, testing, UX design, and more. This workforce stands out for its high level of education, fluency in English, and remarkable resilience and adaptability—essential traits for driving businesses forward.
Portugal is home to top-ranked technical universities such as Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon and the University of Porto’s Faculty of Engineering (FEUP), which consistently produce highly skilled graduates sought after by global companies. These institutions are recognized for their rigorous programs, focus on innovation, and contributions to technological advancements.
At INSCALE, this emerging talent pool is at the core of our mission to build a world-class tech hub. We are committed to creating teams of professionals who are relentlessly driven to innovate, excel, and deliver beyond expectations.
Lisbon is not just about business—it’s a city that offers an incredible quality of life. Renowned for its vibrant social scene, welcoming environment, and excellent living conditions, it has become a magnet for professionals worldwide. Additionally, as one of the safest cities in the world, Lisbon’s appeal as a hub for tech innovation is further strengthened.
Strategically, Portugal offers significant advantages for foreign investment.
Time zone compatibility: Same GMT as London and only a 1-hour difference from Central Europe.
Global connectivity: Direct flights to major capitals worldwide.
Business-friendly environment: High perception ratings on structural factors like infrastructure, safety, and cost-efficiency.
Recognizing this potential, INSCALE established its Lisbon office in 2018, right on Avenida da Liberdade—one of Lisbon’s most iconic and elegant locations. Known for its international fashion stores, cultural events, and historical charm, this setting reflects our commitment to innovation, professionalism, and growth.
