Unicorn Factory Lisboa was launched in 2022 as a key initiative by Lisbon’s Mayor Carlos Moedas to establish the city as a top European innovation hub, focusing on supporting scale-up tech companies to achieve global success.
At last year’s Web Summit in November it teamed up with Startup Portugal with a large stand to promote Portugal’s startup and scale-up ecosystems while providing exposure to around 100 Portuguese startups.
Gil Azevedo was relaxed and down-to-earth when I met him at the Unicorn Factory/Startup Portugal stand despite a packed programme of events and scores of interviews the Unicorn Factory Lisboa CEO had to squeeze into a tight agenda.
