HPE Sees Portugal as a Hub for AI and Advanced Technology

“Portugal is an early adopter of technology,” says Dennis Teixeira, managing director of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) in Portugal. The American multinational, known for network systems and data center solutions, views the country as a strategic place to invest. HPE aims to bring cutting-edge computing solutions to Portuguese companies and the public sector, with a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence and secure cloud infrastructure.

Portugal’s tech landscape, Teixeira notes, positions it as an early adopter of new business models. HPE has already had a “successful” presence in the country and sees further opportunities to build AI factories locally, supporting the development and testing of AI models. Partnerships with Nvidia and AMD, as well as the acquisition of Juniper Networks, strengthen HPE’s push in networking and AI-ready infrastructure, ensuring high-throughput, secure networks essential for future workloads.

A major differentiator is HPE’s focus on hybrid and sovereign cloud solutions. Clients can host critical workloads on their own premises or trusted co-located facilities, maintaining full control and data security. The company also innovates in energy efficiency, using Direct Liquid Cooling for data centers, reducing energy use by up to 90%. With AI adoption accelerating globally, HPE is positioning itself as a leader in secure, high-performance computing for businesses ready to embrace the next generation of technology.
