As organizações sem fins lucrativos geridas por alunos. Em Portugal, existem 25 Júnior Empresas que funcionam como laboratórios do mundo empresarial, dentro das universidades, e têm um volume de faturação superior a 500 mil euros por ano. O objetivo é replicar o modelo de funcionamento das empresas de forma a permitir aos alunos aplicar, na prática, conhecimentos teóricos. “Quando aos 22 ou 23 anos alguém sai da JUNITEC, esse estudante integrou uma equipa, geriu um projeto, geriu pessoas, liderou todo um departamento… isto traz um avanço incrível em relação a alguém que não teve esse tipo de experiência”, destaca Matilde Farelo, Vice-Presidente Interna da Junitec.

Empowering Future Innovators: Insights into Portugal's Startup Ecosystem 🚀 Last week, I had the honor of giving a humble input in a session at JUNITEC (the Junior Enterprise of Instituto Superior Técnico), with my colleagues from Pérez-Llorca's Venture Capital team. We discussed key aspects of Startup Financing and Tax Considerations, equipping these bright, ambitious students with tools to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape Leading the session were: Inês Dias Lopes & Nicolle Barbetti! It was an incredible opportunity to merge theory with the reality of Portugal’s evolving startup ecosystem. Let’s look at the bigger picture- 🔍👀The Snapshot of Reality 1️⃣ Growth of the Startup Ecosystem Portugal is now home to 4,719 startups, a 16% increase compared to 2023. Lisbon (47%) and Porto (15%) remain the hotspots for innovation. Startups contributed €2.6 billion to the economy, representing ~1% of GDP, with €1.5 billion in exports showcasing their global reach. 2️⃣ Challenges in Funding Total capital raised was €231 million, well below the global average (€655 million for early-stage funding).Only 11% of startups benefit from foreign investment, reflecting the need for stronger international funding ties. Public institutions like Banco Português de Fomento play a crucial role, but private sector engagement is still limited. 3️⃣ Sectoral Strengths IT&C startups dominate, generating 63% of revenues, but sectors like agritech and cleantech show promising potential. Regional hubs are flourishing: Porto excels in health, fintech, and technology, while Fundão is carving a niche in agritech. 4️⃣ Talent & Innovation Portugal ranks #25 in the World Talent Competitiveness Index but struggles with retaining STEM graduates due to low wages. R&D spending (1.7% of GDP) remains below the EU average, signaling the need for deeper university-industry collaboration. 💡 Key Takeaways from JUNITEC With these insights, we emphasized how understanding funding landscapes and regulatory frameworks can be a game-changer for startups looking to thrive in this competitive ecosystem. A huge thank you to JUNITEC (António) for fostering this incredible platform for knowledge sharing. At Pérez-Llorca, we’re committed to bridging the gap between academic talent and the business world, empowering Portugal's future innovators to take on the global stage. 🚀 Let’s build together! #StartupEcosystem #VentureCapital #KnowledgeSharing #PortugalInnovation #FutureLeaders #Entrepreneurship #JUNITEC
