At the Intersection of Culture and Technology
Welcome to the fourth edition of Tech & Saints Week, Valtech Portugal's unique celebration of what makes us who we are - passionate about technology, proud of our culture, and eager to share both.
This event brings together our community to share knowledge, showcase our work, and host top-tier speakers from around the tech world. But it's more than just a event - it's a celebration.
Held in June, during Lisbon's most vibrant season, Tech & Saints Week pays tribute to the beloved Santos Populares- Portugal's iconic street festival tradition. For an entire month, the city comes alive with music, lights, grilled sardines, colorful garlands, and the unmistakable energy of community spirit.
From insightful talks to festive moments, this is where innovation meets tradition, and where creativity, collaboration, and culture intersect.
