speakers
What is innovation? How can we be truly sustainable? Are start-ups linked to companies and universities, or is there still potential to be discovered. These are some of the biggest challenges in business that these amazing speakers helped demystify.
Alongside the participants, these were the first group of visionaries to gather at this event, proof of the intense flame of entrepreneurship in Portugal and Europe.
A unique opportunity to truly connect, break the rules of innovation and disrupt the laws of creativity.
Start-up Pitches
Do you think you have what it takes to succeed?
The rules are simple – a maximum of 5 minutes for each startup to pitch their ideas to the investors. After the last second strikes, the startups don’t have any more time to present. Every single moment must count!
