ROUNDTABLE

FROM HYPE
TO REALITY

MAKING SENSE OF THE AI REVOLUTION

Aren’t you tired of hearing that “AI is the future”, but no one actually explains what that means for you?



While companies rush to integrate AI into everything, many are left wondering:
What jobs will survive this revolution?
What skills will actually make us "irreplaceable"? And how can we adapt before it’s too late?

In this roundtable, we’ll cut through the noise and explore how AI is really being used by leading companies, what it means for the future of work, and how the next generation can stay on top of things (and not be replaced by a chatbot).

So, is AI coming for your job, or can it become your best ally? Let’s find out.

ROUNDTABLE

INSIDE THE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM

FAIL FAST LEARN FASTER

Everyone loves a success story, but what about the messy middle?



The sleepless nights, the pivots that made the future uncertain, and the lessons that turned setbacks into real growth. What about them?

In this roundtable, we go beyond the headlines to explore what it truly takes to build and scale impactful ventures in Portugal’s innovation ecosystem. From bold co-working ideas to global scale, we’ll explore what “failing fast” really means, how to outlearn competitors, and why resilience drives high-growth success.

Whether you dream of building something big or simply want an honest look at what innovation really demands, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
