The 2022 Web Summit, an annual technology conference kicked off on November 1st in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, with an opening centre-stage presence at the Altice Arena of Paddy Cosgrove, the co-founder of Web Summit. 

The city of Lisbon welcomes more than 70,000 tech enthusiasts, CEOs, and start-up investors to join the capital city of Portugal, one of Europe´s leading tech events that have called Lisbon home for over 6 years, after its move from Dublin to Portugal back in 2016. This pivotal transition brought much attention to Portugal, promoting a rise in the country’s economic growth, and drawing global technology companies to open businesses and start-ups that created various tech job opportunities for both fellow Portuguese and expats.

Portugal has attracted many wealthy individuals and millionaires who chose to reside and conduct their business in the country, not only for its highly desired factors, such as a great warm climate, immense safety, and well-being. This decision of avid investors and millionaires is monumental due to the availability of profitable investments. One of the bests investments is the Portuguese Real Estate Market, which qualifies for the great Golden Visa Programme property investments in Portugal.

Is not by chance that Lisbon has received the prestigious Web Summit conference for the past 6 years. The city of 8 hills is considered the 3rd best in the world with the most satisfactory air quality, as well the magnificent city and riverside views & Miradouros (Lookout Points) spread across the capital. Lisbon offers a multitude of leisure and cultural activities, ranging from museums to national landmarks, and plazas. The main Portuguese city also features two beloved UNESCO world heritage sites: the Torre de Belém, built to commemorate the Vasco da Gama expedition, and the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, a 16th-century cloister and former friar refectory. 

Lisbon exudes old-world charm, that is undeniably endearing, and showcases outstanding diversity in its culture, cuisine, and its people that are known as extremely gracious and hospitable to newcomers. All these contributing factors explain why Lisbon remains an attractive destination point for expat living, especially witnessed by a major increase in digital nomads choosing Portugal as their future post for remote work living in this digital age! Tech professionals are flocking to Portugal for its abundance of co-working slots, and lower cost of living in comparison to nearby EU countries.

Ryan was an excellent real estate agent, he really steered me in the right direction based on what I said was important to me. Living in another country, I wasn't as familiar with the city as he is. Where I thought I wanted to live and what I truly wanted were not the same. He took the time to listen and figure out the best spot for me, and we are very happy with it - far more than we would have been elsewhere.
