The Foreign Direct Investment Awards "bring together and celebrate the achievements of the broad community and ecosystem of players in the business of foreign direct investment", as stated by the organisation.

Porto City Hall has established a team to create a strategy to increase the level of Foreign Direct Investment occurring in the city; as such, InvestPorto was created to study key requirements, namely economic potential and business friendliness related to Porto's economic development.
