Portugal climbs in the The fDi Report 2025 ranking and strengthens its attractiveness for foreign investment
Portugal has shown remarkable progress in The fDi Report 2025, published by fDi Intelligence, a unit of the Financial Times specialising in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Compared to the 2024 edition, the country recorded a 4.5% increase in FDI, attracting 186 additional projects. This growth enabled Portugal to climb in the global ranking of the most attractive destinations for investment, further consolidating its position as a competitive hub in Europe, increasingly sought after by international companies and investors.
The report highlights Portugal for its macroeconomic stability, the quality of its logistics and digital infrastructures, as well as its public policies favouring innovation and sustainability. The performance of the renewable energy, information technology, and sustainable tourism sectors was particularly mentioned as key drivers of FDI growth in the country.
This progress also reflects the ongoing confidence of foreign investors in the Portuguese economy, thanks to a dynamic business ecosystem, a highly skilled workforce, and a strategic commitment to the energy and digital transitions.
The improvement in Portugal’s position in The fDi Report 2025 represents recognition of the joint efforts between public and private entities in promoting the country internationally as a secure, competitive, and sustainable investment destination. In this endeavour, aicep Global Parques plays a central role by providing integrated and well-equipped business location solutions, boosting the hosting of significant investment projects in the country.
