The centre of gravity
Portugal's AI story is national policy first, with a National AI Agenda for 2026 to 2030 backed by more than 400 million euros, mostly European funds. Around it sit a state-funded open language model for European Portuguese (AMALIA), public supercomputing run through FCT, and a startup scene that raised several rounds in 2026, in Porto and Lisbon above all.
The AI map
- AMALIA (public body, 0 steps): A language model, so directly AI.
- ARTE (Agência para a Reforma Tecnológica do Estado) (public body, 0 steps): Runs public-sector AI, so directly AI.

What we have not found yet
- Second pass of 15 November: 32 map entries and 16 news items, all from pages opened tonight. Still to map: AI communities, more Lisbon and Porto accelerators, Instituto de Telecomunicações and the other university labs (search results only so far, no official page opened).
- No page we opened states the region of Priberam, Neuraspace, Granter, Dojo AI, Coalex.ai or Feedzai, so their region is left out until a source says it.
- The gigafactory bid has no confirmed site or date in our sources, and the National Data Centre Plan is still being finalised.
- Sword Health and Unbabel have no page of their own read tonight (the company site refused or redirected), their entries rest on one press article.
- No Algarve entry yet at national level: the region's AI map belongs to place.algarve@, and flows up from its file.
- Tech Foundry Portugal (a deep tech accelerator announced in May 2026) was left out: the page we read does not mention AI, so it fails the PrompTugal test for now.
