Organized by ACEPI in partnership with GoingNext, the summit will bring together over 150 speakers from across the world to discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming our economy and society. Across twelve thematic stages, the conversations will go far beyond technology. They will be about people, ethics, innovation, and how we can use AI to create real impact within the business, in public services, and in everyday life.
For me, what makes this initiative so special is that it shows the best version of Portugal. A Portugal that is not afraid to lead, to experiment, to collaborate. A country that understands that digital transformation is not only about tools or data, but about mindset and courage. The Portugal Digital Summit is proof that we are not just catching up with the future we are helping to build it.
Over the last decade, Portugal has quietly become one of Europe’s most dynamic digital ecosystems. We have talent, creativity, infrastructure and, above all, the will to reinvent ourselves. Events like this connect all those forces. They bring together government, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and dreamers. And when all those minds meet, things happen.
Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept; it is here, transforming how we work, produce and live. But AI also challenges us to think differently to lead with responsibility, to ensure that progress serves people and not the other way around. That is the real value of the Portugal Digital Summit: it sparks the conversations that matter, the ones that shape our collective future.
These initiatives are crucial for keeping Portugal at the forefront of Europe’s digital transformation. They reinforce our position as a hub for innovation, creativity, and technology with purpose. The world is watching, and Portugal is showing that we can lead not by size, but by vision a vision rooted in collaboration, human ingenuity, and bold reinvention.
The future is not arriving; it is already here. And Portugal is ready to shape it.
