Digital innovation for the city of Porto

Connecting, Creating, and Collaborating to accelerate urban transformation.

Creating a sustainable future
Partnerships
Collaborating for a better quality of life

We seek to contribute to better and more efficient public services, with a real impact on citizens’ quality of life, grounded in sustainable development, through Innovation and Digital Transition as accelerators of the city’s transformation.

The activity developed by Porto Digital is based on three fundamental pillars:

1. Technology

Responsible for the development and maintenance of the communication infrastructure, with more than 4,000 km of optical fiber installed throughout the city, enabling the provision of public services to citizens, including free Wi-Fi access.

2. Innovation and Experimentation

Contributing to the development of public services and policies through a co-creation and active participation model, acting as an accelerator that brings together Innovation Management tools—both for the internal capacity building of municipal teams and for promoting innovation as a driver of the City’s transformation.

3. Partnerships

Ensuring the development of international networks and partnerships, fostering a dynamic ecosystem based on a continuous commitment to innovation.
