🚇 What happens when a region’s tech ecosystem grows faster than its mobility infrastructure?

In a new opinion article, Luís Silva, President of Porto Tech Hub, reflects on one of the key challenges facing the North of Portugal: how to keep connecting people, cities and opportunities as the region continues to attract companies, talent and investment.

From housing pressure to longer commutes and public transport capacity, the article looks at mobility as a question of regional competitiveness and quality of life.
