The research “European Cities and Regions of the Future 2014/15” published in the magazine FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in the British daily Financial Times, places Porto as the third in the list of the 10 most attractive cities of Southern Europe for foreign investment .

In a press release sent to the press, the Porto City Council states that, “for compiling the list, the British newspaper used economic indicators such as the creation of new spaces and infrastructure, better maintenance of the connection of the city, promoting an attractive economic environment and maintaining a high quality of life in the city. “

“It were equally valued incentives for new enterprises, the existence of a highly educated population and the international promotion of the city“, explains the municipality.

The Spanish city of Barcelona came in 1st place in the same ranking and Lisbon 2.º.

In the same study, Porto is referenced in a second ranking. 

The northern city was “in 5th place among medium-sized cities across Europe with better strategy for foreign direct investment.”

This second ranking is lead by the British cities of Edinburgh and Liverpool and the French city Lyon.

The study “European Cities and Regions of the Future 2014/2015” is published two times ayear by the Financial Times.
