Digital Nomad Madeira Islands

Since November 2020, the Regional Government of Madeira, in collaboration with Startup Madeira and consultant Gonçalo Hall, has been pioneering the Digital Nomads Madeira Islands project. This initiative aims to attract digital nomads to Madeira and Porto Santo, leveraging the growing trend of remote work and the island's safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic.
