Portuguese coders shifting focus to Scotland's technology sector
Edinburgh, Scotland - Christina has announced the launch of the "Moving to Portugal" show, set to take place in Edinburgh on November 21st, 2025. This event aims to give attendees the confidence to take the next step in moving to or investing in Portugal.
The decision to bring the event to Edinburgh reflects a clear shift in interest in Portugal coming from Scotland. Tourism figures show that visitor numbers from Scotland to Portugal are growing steadily, particularly to lesser-known regions such as the North of Portugal and the island of Madeira.
The North of Portugal, particularly around Porto and the Douro Valley, and Madeira are seeing increased attention from Scots. These regions attract attention due to a combination of cultural heritage, affordability, and improved infrastructure. Madeira has also benefited from enhanced air connectivity and initiatives targeting entrepreneurs and digital nomads.
The Edinburgh edition of the "Moving to Portugal" show will offer attendees a chance to speak directly with Portuguese legal, tax, property, and relocation experts. Each of these companies brings deep knowledge of the Portuguese market and will be available throughout the day for one-to-one private consultations.
The event will feature Scottish case studies and speakers, as well as highly respected specialist Chamber members, including tax specialists Forvis Mazars, business set up advisors TPMC, foreign exchange specialists Currencies 4 You, top Portuguese estate agents Garvetur, and law firm SBPS Legal.
The goal of the Edinburgh event is to demystify the process of moving to or investing in Portugal. With new direct flight routes from Edinburgh and Glasgow to cities like Porto and Funchal (Madeira), these less expensive areas are now far more accessible. Portugal offers an outstanding quality of life, a favorable climate, and a welcoming environment for UK nationals post-Brexit.
The "Moving to Portugal" show in Edinburgh will be a carefully curated, smaller-format event with a strong focus on personal interaction. Over the past 18 months, there has been a noticeable uptick in Scottish attendees at the London events and more direct enquiries from people and businesses based in Scotland.
If you're considering a move to Portugal or looking to invest, this event is not to be missed. Free registration for the event is now open. Don't miss your chance to learn more about the exciting opportunities that Portugal has to offer.
