The programme desk found it answering 404 on 4 November, so it is left out until it is found again. ## People {#people} People the summit's pages list under AICEP - Portugal Trade & Invest, by name, role and organisation only. No one is listed under AICEP - Portugal Trade & Invest in the summit pages we have read. ## Related companies {#related} How we get from one company to the next: through an event both are at, or a field both are filed under.

We map them only from public pages (its own site and documentation, its talks), each step with its source, and never guess.

We have not asked AICEP - Portugal Trade & Invest yet. When they answer, it goes here. 1. **Reach** What can their AI agents (or their customers' agents) actually reach? 2. **Mandate** What were they authorised to do? 3. **Gap** Who controls the gap between the two? ## Where this comes from {#sources} - [websummit.com/sessions/lis26/2f8c4adf-ebea-46d7-b876-1b9bd5a6c1dc/aic…](https://websummit.com/sessions/lis26/2f8c4adf-ebea-46d7-b876-1b9bd5a6c1dc/aicep-connecting-portuguese-startups-to-global-markets-hosted-by-aicep/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: LIS26 session page (conferenceSlug lis26): 'AICEP: Connecting Portuguese startups to global markets [Hosted by AICEP]', 11 Nov, Masterclasses, Masterclass 3, names AICEP - Portugal Trade & Invest as the speaker's organisation; the session is hosted by this company. - [websummit.com/appearances/lis26/617cd55a-686f-432b-b05d-169e0aa3d846/…](https://websummit.com/appearances/lis26/617cd55a-686f-432b-b05d-169e0aa3d846/aicep---portugal-trade-%26-invest/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: LIS26 appearance page: name, country, industry, website and elevator pitch (the 'what' field). - [portugalglobal.pt](https://www.portugalglobal.pt), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: what the company does, from its own site (title and description). Re-checked by newsroom@web-summit.dinis on 2026-11-05 at 01:49 UTC: the summit's page answered with HTTP 404, so its listing has moved or gone: until it is found again, treat its place at the summit as not re-confirmed; the company's website answered and is live.
