SUMMARY:#SpillTheTea: 2026 Ecosystem Forecast (with Startup Portugal)
DESCRIPTION:The Concept: Spill The Tea \n​We invite experts from within and outside our community to host a quick (but value-packed) presentation on their zone of genius. Normally\, the structure is a short arrival (tea is served\, of course!)\, followed by a focused 25-minute presentation and a 10-minute community Q&A. The idea is simple: to skill swap and make our ecosystem stronger together. \n​The Forecast: Strategic Intelligence for 2026 \n​Every founder needs to know where the market is going\, not just where it is today. We are thrilled to welcome Ivanoel Rodrigues\, Ecosystem Booster at Startup Portugal and Aspiring VC at AngelsWay\, to share his unique\, forward-looking perspective. As someone who supports over 130 incubators and invests in early-stage ventures\, Ivanoel has a key eye on the next rising wave of startups. \n​Ivanoel will lead a strategic discussion tailored for our scale-up community: \n​“The 2026 Ecosystem Forecast: What’s Next for Portuguese Startups?” \n​Key Strategic Questions Addressed: \n\n\n​What major trends or sectors are on the rise for 2026? \n\n\n​What is the single biggest strategic pivot founders need to make now to succeed next year? \n\n\n​How can our founders best leverage the infrastructure being built by Startup Portugal and other national entities?

SUMMARY:FuckUp Nights Porto
DESCRIPTION:Fuckup Nights (FuN) is a global movement and community that shares stories of professional failure. FuN was created from the need to share and celebrate our experiences of failure. This space was conceptualised almost a decade or more ago. It is an open meeting space that allows us to freely express our human-imperfect point of view\, and make it clear that fuckups are part of everyday life (lit). Embracing vulnerability and accepting failure isn’t a sign of weakness\, but a catalyst for growth and innovation. We created a Global Movement because we managed to connect with that sensitive thread that runs through us all and shows us that everyone is doing what they can with their daily battles\, and not all of them are won. \nBroad Agenda:  \n1800h to 1830h – Welcome & Networking \n1830h to 1845h – Host Introductions and Welcome \n1845h to 1945h – Failure Stories by 3 Speakers + Open Mic \n1945h Onwards – Wrap Up. Networking & FuN
