LISPOLIS Polo Tecnológico de Lisboa

LISPOLIS is a private non-profit association managing the Lisbon Technological Pole (PTL) since 1994, providing rooms, coworking spaces, virtual offices and brand services to technological and innovative companies. It belongs to the Lisbon Incubator Network, TECPARQUES and IASP.

It aims to welcome companies through acceleration and incubation programmes, help them find investment and financing, facilitate networking and strategic partnerships, and provide space for projects, events and meetings for startups, scaleups, SMEs and technological multinationals.

LISPOLIS runs an incubation park, an ideas competition ('StartupIN LISPOLIS'), an e-commerce acceleration programme, a monthly newsletter (Lisbon Tech Review), technology and health events, and partnerships with universities and financing entities, alongside digital-transformation initiatives such as a technological forum, gamification and mobility hotspots.

Since 1994, more than 350 companies have been based at LISPOLIS. It currently hosts 126 companies in its incubation park (29 alumni), with about 2,500 people present daily and over €100 million in business volume. Its 2023 occupancy rate exceeded 95%, with 100+ community events organised. The E-Commerce Experience acceleration programme supported 40+ companies, and the StartupIN Ideas Competition drew 100+ applications.

Over 30 years of operation, LISPOLIS has become a central node of Lisbon's entrepreneurship ecosystem with strong university and partner connections, and its model is presented as replicable for other cities.
