There's no question that Portugal - and its capital in particular - is undergoing a massive boom when it comes to promising technology companies and interesting investments these days. That's been a few years coming, but we're not blind to the relatively recent 'next step' for an ecosystem with undeniably vast potential (yet still a lot to prove).
Hence, earlier this year I flew out to Lisbon to spend a few days among the movers and shakers to learn more about what's (not) happening and get a sense of what the buzz is all about.
Journalists tend to like to draw comparisons to Silicon Valley - yes, we get it, there's a really good-looking red bridge in Lisbon, too - or European startup hubs when reporting on the flourishing tech scene in Portugal's capital, but the truth is that it's still massively early days over there.
