The World Excellence Awards ceremony is taking place in Istambul, Turkey, and Oporto managed to achieve the Best Start-up Friendly City of Europe award. This event is sponsored by the WBAF (World Business Angels Investment Forum) and tries to show the best practices around the world in terms of investment and networking incentives, namely for start-ups.

The prize given to Oporto is a clear recognition of the work done by the City Council in helping the development of start-ups, mainly through initiatives, such as the Scaleup Porto. This is the first time that any Portuguese city manages to achieve such an award.

It seems that Oporto is on the right way in many fronts, including incentives for the development of start-ups!!
