So is the Lisbon tech startup scene active? I like the city a lot and was thinking about moving there.

What about language barrier? Do people speak English?

English speaking ability is pretty good and widespread in Portugal. In Spain, however, it's the opposite.

Yes, I've been to tech meetups there. They asked if there were non-Portuguese speaking folks in attendance and all presenters used English.

The majority of people in Lisbon under 40yo speak English to a good level. In a tech "setting" English level would be even higher.
