Portugal news - Portuguese companies set the stage for the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris on March 5th. The Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris, that was held at the Cour Carrée du Louvre, was a fashion extravaganza displaying the Women's Fall-Winter 2024 Collection by Nicolas Ghesquière. The Cour Carrée du Louvre in Paris was transformed into a luminous glasshouse imbued with the pulsating energy of sculptural chandeliers, and the futuristic scenography was designed by renowned artist Philippe Parreno and production designer James Chinlund. Portuguese companies Flysteel and Steelplan designed the roof that hosted the presentation event of the Fall-Winter 2024 Women's Collection in the iconic square at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The imposing structure, that was designed entirely in steel to be easily removable, occupied an area of ​​almost 6,000 m2 and served as the stage for the Louis Vuitton fashion show. With a total height of 13 meters and a translucent roof, the space recreated the cozy and luxurious atmosphere of the classic winter gardens and was large enough to accommodate 3,000 guests. Portuguese engineering, that is well positioned for producing stages for major international events, has led to the creation of a spectacular stage for the Louis Vuitton fashion show. The Portuguese companies created a designer setting that was one of the largest structures ever erected at the Cour Carrée du Louvre and that featured a chandelier with a diameter of 8 meters that was specially designed to be the event’s central piece. #portugalnews #newsportugal #portugalbusinessnews #stageforLouisVuittonfashionshow #LouisVuitton #Flysteel #Steelplan

Lisbon Tech Start-ups are worth EUR 21.4 B in 2022 compared to EUR 816 M in 2016 according to a new report by Dealroom. The combined enterprise value of start-ups founded and headquartered in Lisbon has grown 27 times since 2016. While Start-ups that relocated outside of Lisbon account for over 90% of value creation, Lisbon-based Start-ups alone are sixfold their size in 2022. VC investment into Lisbon-founded Start-ups have reached € 333 M, an all-time high as it is over threefold the amount invested in 2021. Companies with their HQ in Lisbon have raised 96% of the capital, while the remaining 4% was raised by relocated Start-ups. The report produced by Dealroom refers to all Start-ups, Scale-ups and Unicorns that are headquartered in Lisbon as well as those that later relocated abroad but still maintain a significant presence in the city. Start-ups, Scale-ups and Unicorns founded in Lisbon with headquarters abroad include OutSystems, Unbabel, Talkdesk and SEEDRS. Those that have headquarters in Lisbon include Dreamshaper, CODACY, Leadzai and Jungle. Lisbon now has two Unicorns, namely Talkdesk and Outsystems. Unicorns are former Start-ups that reached over US$ 1 B valuation, while Future Unicorns are Start-ups that are valued above € 200 M and have received funding in the last 5 years. Rising Stars are Start-ups that have raised above €4 M and have received funding in the last 5 years. Lisbon’s two Unicorns, OutSystems and Talkdesk have a combined value of € 18.6 B. The two Future Unicorns, FRVR and Unbabel, have a combined value of € 0.6 B, while Lisbon’s 23 Rising Stars have a combined value of € 1.1 B. The most promising Lisbon Start-ups include Oscar, Apres Technologies and Rely.io and the top Start-up sectors include Transportation as well as Real-Estate. According to Diogo Moura, the City Councilor for Economy and Innovation at the Lisbon City Council, “This report shows visible signs of progress with record levels of investment, a strong pipeline of promising Start-ups and an ecosystem that is becoming specialized with the rise of leading industries such as Fintech, Health and Food-tech.” Lisbon’s Unicorns, OutSystems and Talkdesk, are two of the most valuable companies in Southern Europe. The Top-valued Unicorns in the sub-region include Evolution, that is located in Birkirkara in Malta and is valued at € 20.4 B, followed by OutSystems in Lisbon that is valued at € 9.5 B and Talkdesk in Lisbon that is valued at € 9.1 B. The Top 10 companies in the sub-region include Farfetch in Porto that is ranked 6th and is valued at € 3.0 B as well as Anchorage Digital in Porto that is ranked 8th and is valued at € 2.7 B. International investors have an increasingly important role in Lisbon’s Start-up ecosystem, contributing to over 80% of the total investment with 70% of rounds in 2022. Local investors also play an important role in helping foster the next generation of successful Start-ups in this thriving ecosystem, with Food-tech, Fintech and Health leading by number of funding rounds. According to Pedro Ribeiro Santos, Partner at Armilar Venture Partners: “The number of local and international entrepreneurs and investors in the region is increasing significantly and is a sign that the ecosystem is evolving in the right direction.” While Lisbon’s Start-up ecosystem accounts for 67% of Portugal’s Tech value, their value has grown eight-fold since 2018 and is therefore higher than that of other leading ecosystems in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe. In addition to this, Lisbon has one of the highest funding growth-rates among European ecosystems and is growing faster than more mature ones. While Lisbon is a fertile ground for successful Start-ups, the Dealroom study has shown that its universities are fostering the next generation of entrepreneurial talent.

The Web Summit, that brings together leading speakers, major tech companies, and top media outlets, has provided a massive branding benefit for Portugal. The Portuguese startup ecosystem was given a backbone by strong Government policies that include enacting a legal definition for startups and scaleups as well as a new regime for stock options. This milestone underscores the increasing prominence of Portugal’s startup ecosystem within the political and economic landscape. Portugal’s startup ecosystem was also given a boost by Government policies that include the non-habitual tax regime, that is ending in 2024, and favorable tax policies for cryptocurrencies that makes the country even more attractive to entrepreneurs who are interested in decentralized finance. The Portuguese Government is promoting and supporting the Startup ecosystem through dynamic organizations including Startup Portugal and Startup Lisboa. Portugal's Government offers a range of benefits to non-European residents for launching startups, including the StartUP Visa, the Tech Visa, as well as the Digital Nomad Visa. Portugal’s favorable climate for entrepreneurship, foreign investment, and digital nomads builds on the country’s geographic advantages. With easy access to the European market and the Schengen Zone, Portugal has the potential to become one of the strongest startup economies in Europe. The country’s economic ties to Brazil, with whom Portugal shares a common language, also provide Portuguese startups access to the huge Brazilian market. Portugal is the breeding ground for high-tech companies that enable the exchange of knowledge, including FarFetch that is a luxury shopping platform that was originally grown in Portugal. Portuguese Unicorns OutSystems, TalkDesk, and Feedzai also contribute to the dynamism of the Portuguese startup ecosystem. Tech companies are attracted by Portugal’s relatively low cost of living, the good weather and the country’s solid infrastructure, while the country’s internationalization is supported by a pool of high-quality engineering talent that is fluent in English. The research on Portugal’s startup ecosystem was provided by StartupBlink, that is a global startup map and research center that provides insights about trends affecting the global startup ecosystem. #portugalnews #newsportugal #portugalstartupsnews #portugaltechnews #techstartupsportugal2023 #whyisportugalarisingstartuphubglobally #whatarethetopstartupcitiesinportugalin2023andwhy #whatarethetopunicornsinportugalin2023 #whatarethereasonsforthesuccessofportugalsstartupecosystem #StartupBlink #OutSystems #TalkDesk #Feedzai #WebSummit #StartupPortugal #StartupLisboa

Portugal tech investment news - Microsoft video-game company Activision Blizzard will outsource its activities to Portugal as part of their new business plan. Activision Blizzard, that is one of the largest video-game companies globally, was purchased by Microsoft for USD 75.4 billion on October 2023. The company, that is now part of the Microsoft Gaming Business Unit, owns a number of popular videogames including Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, and Overwatch. In January 2024, tech giant Microsoft laid off 1,900 employees working for Activision Blizzard and the layoffs represented around 8.6% of the company’s total gaming workforce of 22,000 people. In March 2024, the Activision Blizzard employees working for its Irish office in Cork are being laid-off as the company announced its intention to outsource its activities to Lisbon and Cairo to outsourcing firms such as Teleperformance. Outsourcing its activities will enable the Microsoft company to scale up or down according to the service-level demand for a sustainable cost structure. Teleperformance in Portugal is well positioned to provide services for this new market as the company invested 1.2 million euros in the videogame industry with a new virtual reality lab and the construction of Portugal’s first Esports arena in 2022, thus gearing towards providing digital integration services from Portugal. This business move from the Microsoft company towards outsourcing to Portugal signals a trend from tech giants towards outsourcing their services to countries where the levels of tech expertise and English proficiency meet the relatively low costs, such as in the case of Portugal where a cost-benefit analysis shows the country emerging as a key destination for tech companies. #portugalnews #newsportugal #newstechinvestmentsportugal #newsActivisionBlizzard #gamingcompaniesportugal

Actualités investissements technologiques Portugal - Activision Blizzard, une société de jeux vidéo de Microsoft, va externaliser ses activités au Portugal dans le cadre de son nouveau plan d’affaires. Activision Blizzard, l’une des principales sociétés de jeux vidéo au monde, a été achetée par Microsoft pour 75,4 milliards de dollars en octobre 2023. La société, qui fait maintenant partie de la Microsoft Gaming Business Unit, possède un certain nombre de jeux vidéo populaires, y compris Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft et Overwatch. En janvier 2024, le géant de la technologie Microsoft a licencié 1,900 employés travaillant pour Activision Blizzard, les licenciements représentaient environ 8,6 % de l’effectif de 22,000 personnes de la division du jeu. En mars 2024, les employés d’Activision Blizzard travaillant pour son bureau irlandais qui se trouve à Cork sont maintenant licenciés, comme la société a annoncé son intention d’externaliser ses activités à Lisbonne et au Caire par le biais d’entreprises d’externalisation telles que Teleperformance. L’externalisation de ses activités permettra à la société Microsoft de renforcer ou de réduire ses effectifs en fonction de la demande de niveau de service pour établir une structure de coûts durable. Teleperformance au Portugal est bien positionné pour fournir des services pour ce nouveau marché, car la société a investi 1,2 million d’euros dans l’industrie du jeu vidéo avec un nouveau laboratoire de réalité virtuelle et la construction de la première arène Esports du Portugal en 2022, se préparant ainsi à fournir des services d’intégration numérique à partir du Portugal. Cette transition de la société Microsoft vers l’externalisation au Portugal indique une tendance des géants de la technologie vers l’externalisation de leurs services dans des pays où les niveaux d’expertise technologique et de maîtrise de l’anglais répondent à des coûts relativement faibles, comme dans le cas du Portugal, permettant une analyse coûts-avantages qui montre que le pays est en train de devenir une destination clé pour les entreprises technologiques. #actualitésportugal #nouvellesportugal #actualitésinvestissementsportugal #actualitéstechnologiquesportugal #actualitésActivisionBlizzard #sociétésdejeuxvideoportugal
