As part of our network of global hubs, Portugal has proven to be an attractive nearshore location for tech start-ups and scale-ups to thrive. Home to over 200,000 IT professionals and boasting an impressive rate of over 8,000 tech graduates a year, Lisbon is an ever-expanding epicenter of opportunity.
The Portuguese tech ecosystem is one that is diverse, hosting an international community of talent with a high proficiency in English. The value-add broadens with the convenience of only an hour’s time difference between Portugal and the Netherlands.
Gapstars Lisbon operates out of Avila Spaces, a coworking space that is centrally located in Lisbon, which nurtures strong community values and an entrepreneurial spirit. With a culture of growth, family and impact at the heart of our operations, we prioritize a flat structure and a work life balance that complements our employees’ mental and physical equilibrium.
We believe in the importance of propagating a growth mindset and facilitating learning, empowerment and development. We’ve dabbled in the start-up climate with Startup Portugal, built bridges with the PHP Portugal community, and even hosted their meetup in our Lisbon office, which focused on legacy code and gRPC. Our connection with the PHP and Laravel community was strengthened further at Laracon EU.
We look forward to more engagement with tech enthusiasts across the country and beyond at the annual Web Summit event, in November 2023; perhaps we may bump into you there!
Lisbon holds amazing promise as a technological centerpoint and Gapstars is ready to be a big part of the journey. Currently, we are building a team of RPA specialists for a revolutionary hyperautomation partner. Sounds like your niche? Join our team here.
