33. WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
LISBON!

34. “Lisbon is a multicultural city, thanks in no small part to Portugal’s
imperial past. […] It also offers a good quality of life (the beach is 10
minutes from the city centre) and a cost of living that is much lower
than in other European capitals. Support for early-stage ventures is
growing now that a cluster of incubator programmes is up and
running, several of which are backed by the city government.
!
Financial Times
“Lisbon’s red suspension bridge appears to be a clone of San
Francisco’s majestic Golden Gate, and both cities are spread over
hills linked by cable cars. If the mayor of Portugal’s capital has his
way, the similarities will extend to a ferocious pace of technological
innovation.
!
Bloomberg

35. “Driven by longstanding tech meetups, the small startup scene in
Lisbon is ramping up. (…) There's still a ways to go here, but with
great weather, food and a keen interest in renewable energy -- not
to mention the $600 million Portugal Ventures fund that's ready to
invest -- expect the startup climate to heat up further in Lisbon.
