In an era dominated by rapid technological advancement and Artificial Intelligence, the ultimate competitive advantage isn’t technological, it is deeply human. We are not machines operating on code; we are biological beings operating on emotion, chemistry, and evolutionary patterns. This session bridges the gap between technology and human biology, exploring the neuroscience of leadership. You will discover how understanding our own brain chemistry and the "biology of change" allows us to reduce resistance, build psychological safety, and foster the deep trust needed to navigate constant uncertainty. To lead others in the age of AI, we must first master the art of being human. By registering for this event, you agree to the PTW Palace Visitor Terms & Conditions. Your registration data will be processed and shared between Portugal Tech Week and its partners under GDPR for event coordination and community updates.

Get ready for an evening where robots do the talking, again. After a sold-out first edition, Physical AI: Demo or Die is back for its second edition. UB Robotics, Técnico Venture Lab and Unicorn Factory bring together the people building the physical AI space for a night of real hardware in action. The demo format is simple: teams get up and show their robots and physical AI systems live. If the bots die, so be it. Hard rule: no performative pitches allowed... Expect to feel what's hard in hardware, and where this field is actually headed, from the people building it day to day. Whether you're building robots yourself, working in AI more broadly, or just curious what's actually possible right now, this is a chance to see hardware firsthand. Join us at Fábrica de Pão in the Beato Innovation District. Schedule TBA soon.

Twenty slides. Twenty seconds each. No pausing, no going back. Red Bridge is launching its first Pecha-Kucha style night — 20-20 — a fast-paced format built to make AI builders do the hardest thing in tech: get to the point. Each presenter takes the floor with 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. The deck advances whether you're ready or not, so what's left is the essence of an idea — enough to spark a conversation, start a collaboration, or find the one person in the room already working on the thing you needed. Come to present, or come to watch the ideas fly. Either way, expect sharp thinking, good company, and the kind of connections that only happen at RedBridge Lisbon. Open to RedBridge Lisbon members and the wider Lisbon AI community. Hosted at AI Hub by Unicorn Factory Lisboa. 🗓️ Thursday, December 10th · 6:30–8:30pm 📍 AI Hub by Unicorn Factory Lisboa Want to present? Apply here: https://tally.so/r/68YA8O
