Venture Studios: Below the Surface | STUDIOS.PT Web Summit Side Event

​November 9 | 3:00 PM

​Organised by: STUDIOS.PT, the Portuguese Venture Studio Association

​Venture Studios: Below the Surface is the 3rd edition of the STUDIOS.PT Web Summit side event.

​Portugal has started to learn the words "venture studio". Below them is what made it possible: studios that co-found companies, corporates that build ventures, and the capital and people who have been building for years without a name for it.

​In 2024 we brought the international model to Lisbon. In 2025 we explained what a venture studio is. In 2026, the ecosystem shows itself with data.
