We are thrilled to be in Viseu this weekend, as we're organizing the Techstars Startup Weekend Viseu! Following successful editions held in Porto and Lisbon (in 2024) and in Coimbra, Albufeira, and Évora (in 2025), this is the 6th edition organized by the 351 Portuguese Startup Association.

We recently announced the 4th edition of Portugal Tech Week, the largest innovation festival of the country, from the 7th to the 16th of November, with more than 300 free events across 20 cities!

This past weekend, we just had our 1st National Community Gathering Day! 💙 This event brought together volunteers, members, and friends for a Saturday full of energy, ideas, and inspiration. From brunch and networking to team challenges and bold plans for the future, the room was buzzing with collaboration!

we're thrilled to announce we've been working on something great for the community leaders across the country: the next edition of the Community Leader Academy! This 2-day, community-led program will bring together 40 selected leaders to receive exclusive training supported by Techstars on building successful startup communities.

After half a year filled with events and initiatives, such as 3 Techstars Startup Weekends (in Coimbra, Albufeira, and Évora), one edition of Startuppers (online), and countless Coworking Thursdays and Workshops throughout the country, we're taking these next two months to plan the second half of 2025 - and you can expect great things ahead!

Last week was a roller coaster of events during Lisbon's Unicorn Week! More than 60 events from different entities took place all over town, from June 2nd until June 7th.
