Why are industrial projects looking beyond Europe's traditional manufacturing centres?

A recent McKinsey Global Institute report identifies Portugal and Spain among Europe's increasingly attractive locations for industrial investment.

According to the report, companies are placing greater weight on energy costs, productivity and how quickly projects can move from plan to operation.

McKinsey points to Portugal's competitive renewable energy costs and its recovery in productive investment as structural advantages for the country. In Portugal Pathways' view, this may strengthen Portugal's appeal, particularly for certain energy-intensive industries.

This is an economic indicator, not a forecast or guarantee of investment performance. Individual projects still require detailed commercial, legal and financial assessment.

Portugal’s passport has ranked joint third for global mobility, ahead of the UK, US and Canada in PassportIndex’s latest ranking.

The benefit is practical access. According to the ranking, Portuguese passport holders can enter 119 destinations without prior arrangements. A further 28 offer a visa on arrival, while 13 can be accessed through an electronic travel authorisation.

For internationally mobile families and entrepreneurs, that flexibility can influence where they live, study, build relationships and do business.

Citizenship and a residency permit are not the same thing. Portuguese citizenship follows a separate legal process.

Under current legislation, permanent residency may be available after five years, while citizenship may be available after ten years, or seven for CPLP or EU nationals. Each is subject to individual eligibility, the legislation in force and approval by the Portuguese authorities.

Qualified legal advice should always be taken.

Your time in Portugal, well spent.

For many of our clients, the highlight of Portugal is something simple: a morning surfing on a pristine stretch of the Algarve, or an afternoon of good wine among locals and friends.

It's often these small moments, rather than any single decision, that quietly confirm a move to Portugal was the right one.

Warm, welcoming people. A rich history. A consistent, warm climate. And, increasingly, the flexibility to work with clients and colleagues across all time zones.

These are just some of the reasons many discerning international families and entrepreneurs choose to build a life here.

What could your children gain from growing up in Portugal?

For many internationally mobile families, the answer is not simply sunshine. It is an everyday setting that can make healthy routines easier to build.

Portugal ranked seventh in the 2026 Global Peace Index. Its coast, parks and outdoor culture can also create more opportunities for walking, cycling, sport and play.

The World Health Organization notes that regular physical activity supports children’s physical health, mental health and cognitive development. Portugal’s long, bright seasons and community life can make those routines easier to maintain.

How would moving to Portugal benefit your children and family?

🇵🇹 300 days of sunshine. A life outdoors, and a smooth pathway with the right people beside you.

For this family, the move to Portugal was about giving their children space to grow up outside, but they’ll be the first to tell you the bureaucracy caught them off guard.

Having trusted local partners to help navigate the process from day one would have made all the difference.

For many of their friends and family, the Golden Visa route has also opened up greater travel access across the Schengen Area, another reason Portugal keeps drawing internationally minded families.

Thinking about your own path to Portugal? We connect you with the right people, from day one.
