        EU and Portugal team up to keep brightest tech talents at home

The European Commissioner for Startups, Research, and Innovation, 
Ekaterina Zaharieva, concluded a high-level country visit to Portugal 
yesterday, reinforcing the joint commitment to accelerate 
competitiveness, close the innovation gap, and establish Europe as a 
global tech powerhouse.

*Commissioner Zaharieva* said:

    "Europe is incredible at inventing things, but sometimes brilliant
    students who build amazing tech, are forced to watch Silicon Valley
    or Asian investors buy them out. We must stop being the world’s
    incubator. By launching our €5 billion fund this autumn and
    stripping away regulatory headaches, we are giving our innovators a
    home-team advantage. Portugal is already proving what’s possible,
    now we need to back them up with investments and fewer bureaucratic
    hurdles."
