Ten Portuguese startups were selected to join the national delegation at SF Tech Week, in San Francisco, United States, marking the first time Portugal has an official event on the agenda of that conference. The participation is part of the "Portugal at SF Tech Week 2026" program, promoted by RedBridge Lisbon, Unicorn Factory Lisboa and Startup Portugal.
The selected companies — CodePlatform, Inc., Enline, ExpertGrain, FRANK, Lampsy, noticed, Inc., Octo Health, Savearth, The C-MORE Company and VeriCasa — operate in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, SaaS, HealthTech, Machine Learning and Deeptech. In total, they have already raised more than 11 million euros in investment and employ more than 160 collaborators.
The initiative is divided into two phases: the first takes place on September 8 and 9, in Lisbon, with training sessions, mentorship and pitch refinement focused on the North American market. The second phase will take place between October 5 and 7, in San Francisco, where founders will participate in investor meetings, networking moments and an event at the Portuguese General Consulate.
The program has the support of the Portuguese General Consulate in San Francisco, AICEP, Transatlantic Highway Ventures and sponsorship from the law firm Cooley. According to the organizers, the national ecosystem has the maturity to enter the United States, with the goal of building bridges for innovation and placing companies in front of the right investors and founders.
