German industrial companies are expanding their presence and investment in Portugal, driven by the country’s political stability, multilingual workforce, and strategic logistics capabilities.

Major corporations are focusing on workforce development and infrastructure. Bosch has launched its ‘Boost’ career acceleration program for professionals in engineering, IT, and management, while Schindler introduced the ‘Schindler Campus’ to address labor shortages in the vertical mobility sector through specialized technical training. 

Beyond training, German investment remains significant. Bosch, which employs 5,900 people in Portugal, is completing a 100 million euro investment in heat pump production. Other companies, including Fuchs, TeamViewer, Saertex, and DHL, are also actively investing in the region, viewing Portugal as a productive platform for international markets.
