Investor Guide

The Municipality of Vila Verde brings together a set of privileged factors for investment and the development of business and entrepreneurial dynamics.

In a strategy of sustainable development across the territory, we seek to enhance, in an integrated way, the added value and synergies that differentiate the municipality in a global context, increasingly competitive and also committed to the valorization of the social and environmental context.

The investment in higher and professional education has consolidated the recognized focus on excellence in training and skills development for the population, responding to the growing level of qualification that companies seek for their human resources.

With a total of 5,000 companies employing around 14,000 people and generating a turnover of approximately 775 million euros, the economic dynamics of the municipality encompass traditional sectors (from handicrafts to the agri-food industry, tourism, construction, clothing, and textiles) as well as technology-based and innovative industries. Within this economic fabric, the strong presence of exporting companies with a leading position in international markets stands out.

As a development partner, the Municipality provides investment incentive programs across different economic sectors and offers effective support to small and medium-sized enterprises, including the use of fiscal instruments.

We work every day for the benefit of our population, aiming to build a municipality that is increasingly modern, competitive, and attractive.
