Potential Digital Enhancement The government uses a range of digital tools including UserWay, Amazon Web Services, and Facebook, indicating ongoing digital presence and modernization efforts. Opportunities exist to introduce further digital solutions to enhance citizen engagement, data management, and municipal services.
Tourism & Civic Engagement Matosinhos' emphasis on tourism and cultural pride presents opportunities to offer technology or consulting services that improve tourist experiences, such as interactive kiosks, virtual tours, or multilingual platforms to attract and serve international visitors.
Networking & Collaboration With multiple neighboring municipalities like Faro, Cascais, Porto, and Sintra also investing heavily in their civic services, there is potential to develop cross-collaborations or shared solutions aimed at regional smart city initiatives or joint procurement of technology services.
Scaling Civic Solutions Given the large employee base and active municipal operations, there are opportunities to provide enterprise-level software solutions, cloud infrastructure, or employee engagement tools that streamline municipal workflows and improve internal efficiency.
Revenue Diversification While current financial data shows limited revenue figures, the city’s focus on civic pride and tourism suggests potential in developing revenue-generating digital products or services that can extend the municipality's offerings to local businesses, cultural sites, or event organizers.
