LAUNCH IN LISBON #8 IN 3, 2, 1

It's not just the spring that comes in March. It's also Launch in Lisbon: our intensive three-day programme on the basics of incorporating companies into the Lisbon ecosystem. Even though the registrations are about to close (tomorrow!), you can still apply! Or recommend the programme to that friend of yours who insists that he wants to open his business in Lisbon; or even to that friend who says this is the European city with the best work-life balance (without ever actually being here) - this is the opportunity.
Can't we convince you? We did a study some time ago and found that 75% of our participants decided to move or launch their business in Lisbon, and 100% recommend the programme!
We still can't convince you? Take a look at the testimonies of the former participants. 👇😉

"Launch in Lisbon was fundamental to consolidate the idea of bringing our business to Portugal. With clear information transmitted by specialized experts, we have the necessary confidence to take this great step towards the internationalization of the company."

Augusto Bueno

“Without a doubt, the knowledge acquired will be differential in my experience in Portuguese lands, and I feel more prepared for the challenges to be faced."

Martha Carpenter

"In 2018 we decided to move our headquarters to Europe in order to give a boost to our company. We found in Launch in Lisbon program all the necessary information to make the decision to move to Portugal. We found that knowing other companies that participate in Startup Lisboa was one of the best activities we had. We could understand before-hand that Lisbon is a great city to establish a startup. I actually am promoting the program with other fellow-founders in Mexico who are thinking about moving to Europe."

STARTUP OF THE WEEK

DRIVIT

Drivit cares about everyone's driving and really wants to help us become better drivers. How? This app monitors all activities related to the car and the journeys we make - where we go, our driving style, our speed, the fuel we spend, and more - so that we can find out how we drive, and how we can improve. Yes, it's a good idea. 😊 Will you download it? We've already done it!
