Pieter Levels on Portugal's Missed Silicon Valley Opportunity

Pieter Levels, the Dutch entrepreneur behind Nomad List and Remote OK, stated that Portugal missed a chance to become the Silicon Valley of Europe. According to his post, numerous tech founders from the United States visited the country. They arrived initially as tourists but later explored options to relocate their operations or establish branch offices. Levels pointed to the NHR program as a strong draw for such moves and noted the potential wealth it could generate for the area. His comments reflect on past opportunities tied to attracting international tech talent and businesses through favorable policies.
