Barcelona implemented strategic plans like "Barcelona Growth" and initiatives led by the private organization "Barcelona Global" to rebrand itself as a center of innovation and attract investment, positioning itself as a smart city and increasing tourism; this involved developing a new brand identity and story, extensive marketing campaigns, and emphasizing its culture of creativity and innovation rather than just its history and architecture. As a result, Barcelona has become one of the strongest and most recognized city brands in the world, achieving recognition as a top smart city and improving its economic development and quality of life.
Barcelona is strongly committed to design as one of its strategic sectors, it being a driving force behind the economy, knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship. Design has become a key feature in the strategies of companies, organizations and public bodies. Being different, innovative and competitive in a globalized world that demands the integration of sustainable criteria calls for successful design management.

LISBON: ATLANTIC INNOVATION AND STARTUP CITYPaulo Carvalho
Lisbon strategic vision is clear and ambitious: to position Lisbon as one of the most competitive, innovative and creative cities of Europe.
Our strategy is based on promoting the internationalization and the competitiveness of Lisbon at a global scale. We are working hard and fast to stimulate innovation, creativity and the entrepreneurship spirit in the city making Lisbon a place open to new experiences.
Lisbon is clearly assuming its privileged position as the gateway for the European consumers and an international platform for the Portuguese speaking emergent economies with 250 million consumers.
The strategic position of Lisbon as an “ATLANTIC BUSINESS HUB” aims to attract investment, companies and talents.
The number of INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN LISBON is growing and the city is becoming one of the Erasmus student’s top choices. The project “STUDY IN LISBON” is going to be a web platform with the central objective of attracting and retaining talent, making Lisbon a global hub in the fields of knowledge and innovation.
Lisbon is working very hard to positioning itself as a global STARTUP CITY. Many international entrepreneurs are choosing Lisbon to launch their ideas, products and services positioning itself as one of the top five “Startup Cities” in the World (Source: Entrepreneur magazine).
Lisbon City Council involved a diverse range of partners. The Lisbon Incubators Network which currently includes 11 incubators, adding more than 200 startups and 800 jobs. The network includes 11 business accelerators, 4 FabLabs, 15 coworking spaces and the community of business angels and venture capital investors.
