Why Portugal’s Businesses Are Rapidly Adopting AI?

In 2024, Portugal experienced a decisive shift in the way companies approach technology. A remarkable 41% of Portuguese businesses—roughly 600,000 organisations—adopted AI solutions. That’s a 17% increase from the previous year and works out to 12 new AI adopters every hour.

While much of Europe is still finding its footing, Portugal has become one of the continent’s most active AI adopters, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing.

Startups Lead the Way

Among the leaders of this transformation are Portuguese startups, which are using AI not as an experiment, but as a core pillar of their strategy:

  • 62% have already integrated AI into operations.

  • 35% are actively developing AI-based products or services.

  • 55% have embedded AI into their long-term strategic vision.

These numbers tell a clear story: for emerging companies, AI is not a “nice-to-have” — it’s a competitive necessity.

Larger Enterprises Move with Purpose

Large enterprises and SMEs are adopting AI more deliberately, focusing primarily on process automation, operational efficiency, and accuracy in reporting. Their approach may be measured, but the investment signals a strong long-term commitment:

In 2024, Portuguese companies increased AI budgets by 24%, outpacing the European average of 22%. This isn’t a passing trend — it’s a signal of strategic realignment.

Why This Matters for Your Business

The data makes one thing clear: AI adoption in Portugal is no longer about “whether” — it’s about “how.” Early adopters are already seeing measurable gains in productivity, speed, and decision-making confidence. The question is whether your organisation will keep pace or be left behind.
