’s is growing twice as fast as the European average http://bit.ly/2rcHNG0 During the past few years, many have covered the remarkable and rapid road that Portugal, and particularly its capital, Lisbon, has travelled by reframing its financial and economic woes into an opportunity for the nation to reinvent itself as a global startup hub.

“The Portuguese scaleup ecosystem is growing twice as fast as the European average” reads the headline of the report released this week by the SEP Monitor, entitled “Portugal Rising.” Unsurprisingly, Lisbon has the highest concentration of activity, representing 40 percent of scaleups and raising 65 percent of the total money made available to Portuguese scaleups.

“It’s interesting to note international investors are playing a central role in the scale-up of the Portuguese ecosystem. 62 percent of capital made available to scaleups – 86 percent of later stage rounds – comes from abroad.” Ricardo Marvão, cofounder and Head of Global Projects at Beta-i, commented in the report’s highlights.

The innovative solutions to today’s problems are the opportunities for tomorrow’s income. Knowing where we are heading gives you an entrepreneurial edge.

Remember The Jetsons? The 1985 animated series described a family living in a future where cars are jet powered, self-driving, and food appears at the touch of a button. If you do remember it, like me, you’re probably a little surprised at how far we’ve come.

Although predictions for the future are bound to be inaccurate, it’s worth considering what experts envision, especially if you consider the near future.

Besides all the clever new gadgets, the way we work, think and interact are all changing rapidly. The business plans and marketing models that worked ten years ago are no longer valid. How does all of this affect your entrepreneurial outlook for the future? The following predictions will provide some food for thought.

As Tod Perry, E.ON’s head of SME sales and previously head of their tech scouting operation, put it: “We have the tech, the experts, the customers.”

For a , the patronage of a monolithic corporate can be very intimidating, but there’s some merit to getting backed by corporate investment and their sector specific expertise.

“ -style have gotten a lot better, but unless you’re an energy-focused fund or a SaaS-focused fund, or a fund focused specifically in the industry it's investing in, with access to market - it's just money,” says Perry.

The Future of and : 2020 to 2050. http://bit.ly/2oqfGxr Will entrepreneurs still be there at the end of this century? Will innovation be as important as it is today for human organizations? The exercise of writing a non-academic semi-technical article like this feels almost like the exercise of taking a picture of my own beliefs at this particular moment. It’s hard but fun.

When I began to form plans for this futuristic exercise, I often thought about a selfish thing: in a hundred years from now, I would love my grandchildren to read or listen to this text and imagine how their grandfather imagined their world a hundred years back, laughing at my innocence or impressed by my perspicacity on different topics.
