BCNL Lisbon Trade Mission

Join us for the BCNL Trade Mission 2022 to Lisbon

After the great success of our trade mission to Berlin in 2020, the Blockchain Netherlands Foundation (BCNL) is organizing a new trade mission.

This time: Lisbon, Portugal!

The vibrant city of Lisbon is attractive to a lot of start-ups and scale-ups as well as entrepreneurs, investors and organizations involved in the blockchain, crypto and web3 sector. As such, Portugal and its city Lisbon are emerging on the European and global stages at an increasingly fast pace as a crypto hub which will have long-term benefits both for the country due to its continued EU membership, international outlook, welcoming culture and hard-working people with a can-do attitude as well as the EU itself.

With the support of the Dutch Embassy in Portugal, OffChain Lisboa, APBC, Dutch Enterprise Agency RVO, The Portuguese Blockchain Alliance, NearU, Hub Criativo Beato, Startup Lisbon and many more we provide you with an amazing experience.

The Program:

The Trade mission consists of a 2-day program on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th of October.
