Truth is, the Portuguese startup scene is growing at an unsurmountable rate and it’s tricky to keep track of everything that’s happening. For the past few years, we’ve all been building a strong community of entrepreneurs and many interesting startups have been born in Portugal, thanks to all the accelerators, incubators, co-working spaces and investors.

Getting all these players together and gathering the best startups in Portugal is not an easy job, but that’s exactly what Caixa Capital is doing with the Caixa Empreender Award.

It will be one of those events where you look around and realise that everyone’s there: national and international investors, the best startups in Portugal, talented and inspiring entrepreneurs, some of the top universities, and important partners and supporters of this community.

All this, to celebrate what we have all built, together. From insightful keynotes to interesting discussions panels, from cool startup pitches to networking opportunities and awards, it’s all there.

In the end, after all the pitches from the best startups in the startup programs that Caixa Capital supports (Beta-i, Startup Braga, Startup Lisboa, Act by Cotec, BGI and Startup Next by Techstars), Caixa Capital will award the best startup with a 100k convertible note.

Last year, the big winner was our own Magnifinance from Lisbon Challenge, but who will get to take the big check home this time?

Join us for one of the main events on the Portuguese startup scene, network with the main players from our community and get to know who was the best startup of 2015.

Register here for free and check out the agenda. See you on the 3rd of February at Culturgest at the Caixa Empreender Award.
