Portugal’s ecosystem of start-ups is seen as a source of innovation and talent by many top companies. Companies today need to buy or access innovations from others. In Portugal, we have very successful startups, unicorns, with one thing in common - AI. The startups were formed from the universities applying AI in different areas. Companies and institutes can find a rich network of universities that work closely with companies.
