Lisboa Unicorn Capital

Lisboa is positioning itself as one of the European capitals of innovation, technology and sustainability.

Unicorn Week ended last week, the new naming for Lisbon Entrepreneurship Week(Semana do Empreendedorismo de Lisboa), now in its 12th edition, following Lisbon City Hall's clear strategy to position itself internationally as an innovation city, with doors open to the outside world.

In the week in which the city was filled with events, initiatives and happenings organized by all the players that make the city’ heart beat, including our Legal Cocktail (in partnership with Abreu Advogados and Unicorn Factory Lisboa) and Sparking Innovation (in collaboration with OVHcloud and SID Venture Partners), the municipality of Lisbon, promoter of this action, kicked off an official event that included several partners and the presence of the Mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas. The event made clear that the mission the capital has for the future is "to position Lisbon as one of the most innovative, intelligent and sustainable cities in Europe", alongside the big release of this event: the launch of Lisboa Unicorn Capital.

This new brand, Lisboa Unicorn Capital, encompasses everything that Made of Lisboahas represented up until now, aggregating all the innovation-focused business hubs linked to the city's ecosystem and also the ambition to "establish Lisbon as a global hub for entrepreneurship, innovation and technology, working with the community to ensure Lisbon's success as the capital of innovation".

We look forward to seeing this change come to life!
