Bridging Capital Across Borders: Investors, Founders & Ecosystems in Portugal
by ALBAN Global / Tzufit Herling
About this event
Capital crosses borders when the right people are in the same room. This session brings ALBAN Global Network's international investor delegation to Lisbon during Portugal Tech Week. They’ll meet investors, ecosystem builders and founders from Portugal for an afternoon of open conversation and focused introductions.
Part 1: Fireside chat
Cross-border investment and how ecosystems work together. We’ll cover what international investors look for in a new market, how investors and ecosystem players in Portugal can partner with them, and what it takes to build connections that hold beyond a single event.
Part 2: Roundtable
Investors, ecosystem builders and selected founders meet the delegation in small groups, for focused conversations.
Who it's for
Angels, VCs and family offices, ecosystem builders, and people who lead accelerator, corporate and innovation programmes. Founders with an established cross-border growth agenda are welcome too. This is a conversation, not a pitch session.
You'll leave with
A clearer picture of how international investors assess opportunities across borders
Practical ways to build cross-border relationships
Direct connections with the ALBAN Global Network delegation and with local investors and stakeholders
Hosted by
