Angra do Heroísmo

Located in the North Atlantic, 1,450 km from the Portuguese mainland, the Azores is an archipelago consisting of nine islands and a total of 250,000 inhabitants. Angra do Heroísmo is located on Terceira island. The region benefits greatly from its geostrategic position, extensive Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and rich biodiversity. It is well-placed for developing space technologies and is already home to a growing “blue economy” sector with enormous potential and a thriving tourism industry

“Angra do Heroísmo benefits not only from a geostrategic position between the European and American continents, but also from an investment-friendly fiscal framework and incentive systems.”
