Portugal is a 900 year old man who has a gambling problem. Our development model is based on the scratch card. The plan is always to “bet”. Bet on Magalhães, because the digital revolution is the future. Or, invest in the TGV, to connect us to Madrid and the great European corridors. At the same time, it is essential to invest in the new Lisbon airport. Without forgetting the commitment to the forest and biomass. And the focus on tourism, since Portugal is the California of Europe. As long as this does not divert our attention from investing in industrial clusters, with emphasis on those that open the gateway to the new space economy. On the other hand, the green economy and renewable energy also deserve our support. Just as it is mandatory to invest in the blue economy, since our sea has great unexplored potential, and the Atlantic shelf, my god, the Atlantic shelf. Although the biggest bet should perhaps be lithium, given that it is Portuguese white gold, and will make us enter the battery value chain, or whatever. However, when you think about it, better than the bet on lithium is the bet on green hydrogen. Which, still, is nothing compared to the bet on startups and unicorns.
