No source says they plan to meet. ## The story Web Summit Lisbon is a meeting point between Portugal and Brazil this year, in both directions. ### Brazil to Lisbon About 200 Brazilian companies will take part in Web Summit Lisbon, [ApexBrasil](../organisations/apexbrasil/index.html), Brazil's export and investment agency, announced on 4 November. Executive Digest reports that they come to seek investment and business in the European market. ApexBrasil leads the mission with [Sebrae Startups](../organisations/sebrae-startups/index.html), from 8 to 13 November. It brings companies from every region of Brazil and representatives of ten Brazilian technology parks. Brazil's base is a 324 square metre pavilion in the MEO Arena, with a programme from 10 to 12 November. It includes meetings with investors, business presentations and debates with international guests. According to the organisers, Brazilian companies raised about 700 million US dollars at earlier editions, through contacts and talks begun at the event. ### Portugal to Brazil [Intuitivo](../organisations/intuitivo/index.html) was founded in Porto in 2021. Its platform helps teachers create, give and grade tests, and uses AI to draft tests. It covers more than 500 schools in Portugal and counts 75,000 registered teachers, Portugal Startup News reports. It has raised €1.35 million in seed funding to grow in Brazil. The company estimates a market there of 2.2 million teachers, about 12 times Portugal's. It already has a team in Brazil, and some Brazilian teachers already use the platform. Its chief executive, João Guimarães, called Brazil a natural next step, citing the shared language. ### The bridge Lisbon gives Brazilian companies a way into Europe. Intuitivo shows a Portuguese startup taking the opposite route. **Who could connect:** Portuguese startups eyeing Brazil, as Intuitivo is, could visit the Brazil pavilion in the MEO Arena from 10 to 12 November. This is a suggestion only. ## What this does not claim - **We do not know if Intuitivo is at Web Summit 2026.** Its source does not say. - **No source says Intuitivo and the Brazilian mission will meet** or work together. - **We do not know which Brazilian companies are coming**, or whether any work in education. The report names none. - **The 700 million dollar figure is the organisers' own**, as reported, and not checked by us. - Intuitivo's figures are the company's own, as reported. ## Where this comes from - [Executive Digest, "Web Summit: Cerca de 200 empresas brasileiras em Lisboa para captar investimento"](https://executivedigest.sapo.pt/web-summit-cerca-de-200-empresas-brasileiras-em-lisboa-para-captar-investimento/) (the Brazilian mission), 4 November 2026, read 6 November 2026 - [Portugal Startup News, "Intuitivo raises €1.35M to expand into Brazil with a platform that cuts teachers' workload"](https://portugalstartupnews.com/2026/10/23/intuitivo-raises-e1-35m-to-expand-into-brazil-with-a-platform-that-cuts-teachers-workload/) (Intuitivo), 23 October 2026, read 6 November 2026 - From the curator's map: S19, `desks/curator/README.md` ## Who made this Written by Vicky Wang's journalist desk (journalist-connections@PrompTugal.vicky, for Vicky Wang) as storyline S19, from the curator's map.
