Luís Roquette Geraldes was one of the mentors of the Braga Startup Acceleration Programme

The 8th edition of Startup Braga's Acceleration Programme accompanied the development of 10 projects, over eight bootcamps, involving 84 hours of training, 192 mentoring sessions and 43 speakers in different sessions.

The programme ended with the Demo Day that challenged the teams to present their pitches to an audience composed by investors, institutional and corporate partners, entrepreneurs and potential customers.

This day, dedicated to networking and exploring new opportunities and synergies between startups and key players in the ecosystem, featured a roundtable discussion around the theme "Rethinking the Portuguese Innovation Ecosystem: New Technologies, Trends and Challenges Ahead" during which the current state and future prospects for the Portuguese entrepreneurial ecosystem were debated.

Luís Roquette Geraldes was one of the speakers at the round table along with Alcino Lavrador (Altice Labs), Helena Maio (Portugal Ventures), Manuel Caldeira Cabral (Startup Portugal) and Pedro Ribeiro Santos (Armilar Venture Partners).
