'Greater Porto' wants to bring more foreign direct investment to the Atlantic Seafront

'Greater Porto', an organisation made up of the municipalities of Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia and Matosinhos, will once again attend the MIPIM in Cannes (France), taking place from Tuesday 12th to Friday 15th.

This is a moment of enormous commitment for the three municipalities to scale up their territory, strengthening the capacity of their offer, in a high-level presentation of the territories to international investors, to generate new opportunities for employment, investment, and attracting international companies to the region. The municipalities that make up 'Greater Porto' will be accompanied by companies active in the sector and in their respective areas.

'This MIPIM shows a territory with the capacity to consistently be a world showcase for attracting investment', the Councillor for the Economy, Employment and Entrepreneurship acknowledges. 'In its second year attending, 'Greater Porto' seeks to give visibility to a dynamic economy with investment opportunities at international level', Ricardo Valente adds.

Showcases, conferences and live experiences are just a few of the many features of this year's MIPIM, which will be attended by around 90 countries, more than 300 stands, 22,500 representatives and more than 6,500 investors. 'All leaders in just one place' is the motto of the event, to be held at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
