Welcome Message
Dear colleagues,
It will be an honor and a privilege to have you at the 2nd edition of the InSciTech Meet on Innovations in Global Business Models – IMINNOVATION 2026, which will take place in Lisbon from August 3rd to 5th, 2026.
It will be a gathering of creative, visionary minds committed to redefining the contours of global business in today's world. This event represents a unique opportunity to share ideas, inspire innovation, and foster transdisciplinary collaborations that transcend borders.
Over three days, we will delve into urgent and stimulating topics: innovative business models, digital transformation, sustainability, artificial intelligence, startup ecosystems, resilient global supply chains, the circular economy, and much more—exactly the kind of topics capable of shaping the future of business.
For me, this will be a very special moment—not only because of the responsibility of sharing knowledge, but also because of the opportunity to learn from you. I firmly believe that each participant will bring a story, a distinct perspective, and a challenge they've faced that can enrich the collective dialogue.
I firmly believe that this is the beginning of collaborative and transformative journeys. I look forward to sharing with you, learning from you, and building new paths for innovation in global business models together.
May this conference be memorable for inspiration, knowledge, and connections.
See you at IMINNOVATION 2026!
Cristina Fernandes
