  1. Startup & Project Showroom
    An opportunity for event visitors to discover some of the projects incubated at Startup Madeira, the winners of the startNOW acceleration programme, and the participants of the Madeira Impact Collective. A unique chance to explore innovative ideas, engage in conversations with entrepreneurs, and take part in quick mentoring sessions with experts.
  2. Inspiring Talkss
    A conference session featuring two presentations on leadership, motivation, and emerging trends in technology and entrepreneurship. A moment to reflect, learn, and be inspired.
  3. Networking & Happy Friday
    Our relaxed social moment, featuring ambient music, snacks, and drinks — perfect for strengthening connections and celebrating Madeira’s entrepreneurial community.
