The centre of gravity
The Algarve's AI activity is concentrated in Faro around the University of Algarve and Algarve Evolution, and is aimed mostly at the two big regional sectors, tourism and health, with the university adding heritage, food and marine research. Regional bodies such as CCDR Algarve, NERA and Turismo do Algarve fund and teach AI adoption, and in 2026 the University won 31.5 million euros for an AI-first heritage centre.

What we have not found yet
- Postal do Algarve and Algarve STP's site serve a bot challenge to automated readers, and Sul Informação returned 403: their AI coverage is not yet captured. We should look for their RSS feeds or a permitted route.
- Candidate for the map once an AI path is sourced: the Algarve cybersecurity competence centre (UAlg, NERA and the intermunicipal community AMAL), whose page does not mention AI.
- Hint for the Portimão agent: the council's AI document check for building permits (3 July 2026), the Portimão hotel and tourism school (17 April AI bootcamp) and the StartUp Portimão incubator.
- Hint for the Loulé agent: the Vale do Lobo AI concierge Oliver (16 April 2026), NERA's base, and Colégio Internacional de Vilamoura's AI summit (Vilamoura is in Loulé).
- Hint for the Faro agent: UAlg Penha campus, UAlgTec Heritage, CRIA, DevFest Faro, Algarve Evolution and the ULS Algarve webinar all sit in Faro.
- No official feeds (RSS) found yet for any regional source: to check each site's feed link.
