The big question for anyone relocating: Lisbon or the Algarve? 🤔 Historical Lisbon is buzzing with digital nomads. The Algarve, with its magnificent coastline, is surely the land of the retired… Or is it??? Since Covid, the Algarve has seen a wave of younger, super-skilled, tech-savvy professionals. International schools here have tripled and they all have waiting lists. The Algarve is now packed with awesome entrepreneurs and business gurus. Algarve Women’s Network – launched less than a year ago and is already over a thousand members strong! Dynamic SMEs are redefining the region. So, perhaps it’s unsurprising that the Algarve’s digital score shot up by 44.3%, leapfrogging the North and grabbing the third spot in the digital rankings! That’s some serious progress in digital infrastructure and use. Can’t wait to see the amazing collaborations coming up this year with the coolest people and organizations in this vibrant region.
