Understand the concept of smart territories and the main guidelines of the respective strategy.
Digital transformation is redefining the way we think about and organise our territory. This evolution is reflected at different levels: local, regional and national, and highlights how technology and data contribute to more integrated, sustainable and people-centred management.
Today, understanding a territory goes far beyond maps or visits. Digital technologies allow us to observe, measure and understand what is happening in each geographical area in a more complete and detailed way, regardless of its scale. They enable us to monitor the territory in real time and support strategic decisions in areas such as mobility, energy, the environment, public services and many others.

The National Strategy for Smart Territories, published in December 2023, has as its motto ‘turning data into action’. Organised according to domains and indicators that enable it to be monitored, its aim is to promote more efficient, sustainable and inclusive land management through innovation, transparency and the strategic use of data.

Indicators of monitoring the Strategy
To know more about the National Smart Territories Strategy, you can check dynamic dashboards that will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the data collected about the territory.
The Smart Territories Portal (Portal dos Territórios Inteligentes) is a digital platform that brings together information and resources on the digital transformation of territories in Portugal. It facilitates access to data and best practices and supports more efficient, sustainable, and innovative management. It is also a space for sharing, collaboration, and learning for all individuals and entities involved in territorial development.
