Gran Viseu Tech Talks MEGA MEETUP: Business, Startups, Entrepreneurship & AI
Viseu Tech Talks is back — and for the 10th edition, we're going MEGA.
After a well-deserved break, we're kicking off the year with our biggest edition yet. One night, four speakers, three communities, and a room full of people who are actually building things.
This special edition is a joint event with Omplo, Digital Nomads Viseu, and OutSystems UG Viseu — because the best ecosystems are built together.
March 5th, 2026 18:15 — Doors open (yes, 15 minutes early — don't be late)

Agenda
18:15 — Doors open, Check-in & Networking
18:50 — Meetup opening & organizers presentations
19:00 — Talk 1: Building from the Interior: Networks, Governance, and the Future of Portuguese Startups Narciso Antunes — Founder @ Quizzability & Omplo
In the interior regions of Portugal, building startups is more than just innovation or chasing funding — it's about creating resilient companies where strong social networks and governance structures allow projects to thrive sustainably. Narciso will explore how Omplo positions itself as a connector and facilitator of ecosystems, and how focusing on the "S" and "G" of ESG can transform the interior into fertile ground for scalable, high-quality startups.
19:30 — Talk 2: Why I'm Trying to Become a Professional Vibe Coder (and Why You Might Want To) Marcelo Manteigas — Founder @ Network.me & Product Manager @ Salsify
AI and natural-language tools are changing who can build software — and what it means to turn ideas into real, testable products. Marcelo will share why he's intentionally becoming a "professional vibe coder," how it closes the gap between intent and execution, and the key do's and don'ts of a practical AI-powered workflow. Not about replacing engineers. About building faster and learning faster.
20:00 — ☕ Break 10 min — grab a drink, stretch, connect
20:10 — ⚡ Lightning Talk: Connecting the Dots — Remote Work Needs a City, Not Just a Laptop Pedro Salgadinho — Digital Nomads Viseu
Growth without connection is just noise. Digital Nomads Viseu is evolving from a community group into a strategic ecosystem — connecting international professionals to local talent, and startups to institutional support. Pedro will share the vision for turning Viseu into a true home base for remote workers: a place where belonging, collaboration, and long-term impact replace short-term presence. Talent moves fast. Viseu must move faster.
20:15 — Talk 3: How to Build an Innovation Centre Where the Average Age Is 69 Ricardo Neves Araújo — COO @ Follow Inspiration, S.A.
Talking about innovation in a place where the biggest tech event in 2009 was breakfast may sound like a joke. It wasn't. Ricardo will explore how to transform ageing contexts into vibrant idea ecosystems — blending experience with technology, tradition with disruption. How do you attract local talent when they already have grandchildren? How do you build spaces that invite curiosity rather than alienate through modernity? Because innovation can also have grey hair.
20:40 — Closing remarks, Pizza, Beer & Networking
