US mission: companies in San Francisco and Seattle interested in Madeira
Invest Madeira presented the Region as a gateway to the European market at the Living in Portugal USA Roadshow 2026 and at sessions in Seattle.
From 19 to 23 September 2026, Invest Madeira visited the US West Coast. In San Francisco it took part in the Living in Portugal USA Roadshow 2026 on 19 September, attended by around 200 business people, investors and Americans interested in Portugal.
Madeira was presented as an Atlantic business hub and a gateway to the European market. The corporate tax regime and the International Business Centre of Madeira (CINM) drew the most interest. The agenda included meetings with the Office of Economic and Workforce Development of the City and County of San Francisco.
In Seattle, on 22 and 23 September, there were three presentations to business people and investors. Contacts were made with companies in technology, health and longevity and the blue economy, some of which want to learn more about setting up or expanding from Madeira.
"The interest we have found shows how important it is to be present in these markets and to build direct relationships with their business ecosystems", said Filipa Ferreira, executive director of Invest Madeira.
