Summer has arrived in full force! The heatwave calls for beach days and fresh drinks, but it is also a new opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and bring your startup to new heights.

Summer is almost here, and you know what that means: Santos Populares and warm temperatures! But as you know, the entrepreneurial ecosystem never sleeps, and we are here to share the upcoming events of the next few weeks.

May has arrived in full force: this week, we have several events happening in parallel! From networking to pitching to insight sharing, we have an initiative for everyone.

Startuppers, the first 100% free and online startup school in Portugal, powered by the 351 Portuguese Startup Association, returns for its second edition to help founders turn ideas into scalable businesses. The initiative provides workshops and masterclasses led by international experts on critical topics ranging from idea validation to investment.

We're back in action this January in full force, after a few days for resting, recovering, and planning our year ahead. Our 2025 ended with such good news, with the 351 Portuguese Startup Association winning the SES Award alongside Unicorn Factory Lisboa and Startup Portugal.

We are still recovering from the busiest week of the year! From November 7th to 16th, Portugal Tech Week had its biggest edition yet, with more than 300 events nationwide and over 30.000 people impacted!
