Tekever and the Portuguese "new defense": the consolidation of the tech ecosystem in Portugal

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 15:37

Tekever, a Portuguese technology company, completed this year the acquisition of Cloudsweep, a Portuguese startup specialized in the use of artificial intelligence. This operation represents a milestone in the consolidation of the national technology ecosystem.

The acquisition demonstrates a sign of maturity of the tech sector in Portugal, which is no longer measured only by funding rounds or by being featured on the covers of the press. The ability of national companies starting to buy each other indicates a new phase in the development of the ecosystem.

By integrating Cloudsweep, Tekever reinforces its market position and expands its technological capabilities through the incorporation of talent and technology developed in Portugal.

This type of internal consolidation is considered by specialists as a positive indicator of the health and sophistication of the Portuguese technological ecosystem, which is beginning to present dynamics typical of more developed markets.

GNR warns anyone who receives a new bank card by mail: don't do this or you could lose your money

GNR is warning about a new bank fraud scheme that arrives through traditional mail. Victims receive a letter seemingly sent by the bank, containing a supposed new bank card with their personal details. The letter includes a QR code that, when scanned, redirects to a fake bank page — a technique known as "quishing." By entering credentials or personal data on this fraudulent page, victims hand over information to scammers, potentially losing money and suffering identity theft. GNR recommends never using QR codes received by mail to activate bank cards and that, in case of doubt, you should contact the bank directly through official channels.

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Seeks US Capital for New Defense Fund and Has Palantir Support for New Company

Ukraine's former Defense Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, is seeking US investment to launch a defense technology fund aimed at financing and developing companies in battlefield robotics, interceptor drones, and AI-equipped missiles. The project goes beyond the traditional venture capital model, creating a structure to invest in and directly manage defense companies. Fedorov, who was removed from office in July following a political crisis, is also developing a new defense technology company with Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, as the first major investor. The proposal includes a technology exchange with the United States, offering Ukrainian drone expertise in exchange for Patriot air defense systems. The collaboration with Palantir, which has provided software to Ukraine for more than five years, aims to transform the country's wartime experience into a lasting industrial advantage.
