Lisbon, Portugal Named Entrepreneurial City of 2015

Lisbon, Portugal was recently named the Entrepreneurial City of 2015 in Europe! Yes, a lot is happening in Lisbon and the Mayor’s office has taken a moment to thank a very long list of people and companies who have helped grow this eco-system so rapidly. It does take a village and I’m pleased to see my name there between Sage and Sapo (now that’s good company).
I am very excited about what is happening in Lisbon on all levels and in seeing the growth (and funding) from some of the start-ups. Jobs are being created, start-ups have a lot of support and events to select from, investors are starting to come to town and soon more and more people from outside of Portugal will see the real growth and opportunity that is underway. Great job to all involved, especially the start-ups who have been bootstrapping their dreams to make them into reality.
Here’s the video from the Mayor’s office in Lisbon saying thanks!
