THE PROBLEM WITH GOLDEN VISA FUNDS…

Real estate tends to be Golden Visa investors’ asset class of choice. But with that option now off the table in Portugal, Golden Visa Funds are the new go-to option.

Financial investments necessarily carry a significant degree of risk, and not all prospective Golden Visa applicants have experience investing in them. It’s therefore understandable that not everyone who wants a Golden Visa wants to invest in a fund.

In addition, only a tiny percentage of applicants are willing to make a €250,000 donation to get a Cultural Golden Visa.

Fortunately, however, Portugal’s Golden Visa regulations allow for another compelling alternative:

A SIMPLE, DE-RISKED ALTERNATIVE…

A €500,000 capitalization of an existing Portuguese enterprise that leads to the creation of 5 new full-time jobs, to be maintained for a minimum of 3+ years. (Legal Basis: Click here, and view Point VIII on Page 34 – Source: SEF.pt)

Our 100% done-for-you Research Job Creation Project meets the requirements for the Golden Visa, and ticks most (if not all) of the critical boxes for investors. By combining research-based job creation, hard asset backing, and multiple proven revenue models, we have developed a win-win formula:

Taking an ecosystem oriented approach, we are developing powerful tech-as-a-service and renewables solutions for the Portuguese hospitality sector (more on these exciting initiatives below).

As a Golden Visa investor, you have the opportunity to help power this highly impactful R&D project, while enjoying the following benefits:

  • You get to meaningfully contribute towards your new second home country’s prosperity…
  • Whilst earning decent projected returns, which solves the opportunity cost consideration.
  • You also get to participate in the share capital of a technology company that is well positioned to create high-value Intellectual Property (IP).
  • Peace of mind is part of the deal, thanks to hard asset backing, multiple proven income streams, and the project’s eligibility for non-repayable EU grant funding. (The latter further increases project profitability.)

All research jobs will be created  within DOROTECH, a rural Portuguese technology company purpose-built to help foreign investors meet the Job Creation Golden Visa’s requirements.

A WIN-WIN DEAL FOR PORTUGAL AND YOU

By investing in research job creation and renewables solutions in your new “second home” country, you can lock in a Portuguese Plan B, AND get your family on a clear path to permanent residency (PR) and citizenship after 5 years.

…All without the need to invest €500,000 into financial instruments you may not fully understand.

The Research And Development
Job Creation Project At A Glance…

Belmonte Research Facility, Castelo Branco

A pioneering Research and Development (R&D) facility, situated in the heart of the Castelo Branco region, serves as the key location for the project.

In line with our company ethos, the project seeks to address the resourcing asymmetries between the Portuguese coastal areas, in the country’s interior. The Job Creation Project operates as a public-private partnership, and enjoys strong support from the Municipality  of Belmonte.

Tourism and hospitality is a key strategic sector for Portugal, and we are therefore focusing our on efforts on developing market-leading hospitality solutions across the following areas:

  • CleanTech
  • Ubiquitous computing solutions (powering best-in-class guest experiences, and delivering measurable wellbeing improvements)
  • Wearables and vital sign monitoring solutions (to be deployed in elderly care facilities)
  • Renewable energy solutions tailored to hotels, resorts and touristic developments
  • Next-generation construction techniques and energy-efficient insulation solutions
  • Smart water drainage and treatment solutions
  • BioAgriculture
  • Reduction of water usage
  • Domotics (i.e. SmartHome Technology).

Towards ensuring world-class outcomes are achieved on the research front, we have partnered with two leading Portuguese universities.

The various R&D projects benefit from access to a vetted pool of postgraduate university researchers: The best and brightest minds in their respective fields will be overseeing each project.

Technologies, IP and solutions developed in Belmonte will first be deployed on-site, and then productized and provided on a tech-as-a-service basis to multiple pipeline clients in the hospitality and elderly care sectors.
