A newsletter covering all things startup in Portugal

Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a great summer, whether you unplugged completely, travelled, or just caught up on some long-overdue sleep. Now it’s time to get back to building, connecting, and making things happen.

We’re excited to restart our weekly journey together, bringing you the most relevant events, resources, and opportunities for entrepreneurs, startups, and the innovation ecosystem in Portugal.

The next few months promise to be vibrant for our community. From local meetups to global conferences, from early-stage support programs to investment opportunities, the Portuguese startup scene is buzzing with energy.

Expect to see:

Big events: several cities will host several startup gatherings that put founders, investors, and ecosystem builders in the same room. i.e. Techstars Startup Week Guimaraes; WebSummit; Lisbon AI Conference; Pitch nights; Founder Institute Portugal; Porto Impact Week 2026; Portugal Tech Week, Investor Talks, Incubex, Santander X, EUDIS Hackathon …

Community growth: More international founders are choosing Portugal as their base, enriching our ecosystem and creating new collaboration possibilities. ex: Techstars Community Leader Academy; Launch in Lisbon, Unicorn Factory Incubation Program, Missão Terra à Vista, Santander X…

We will keep you in the loop with events, opportunities, and stories that matter, and we can’t wait to hear what you think, too.

Check out the Adamastor events calendar to find the celebration that speaks to you.
