Briefings
A panel at the Guimarães conference in 2026 explored five economic trends shaping Portugal by 2035, focusing on AI-driven industrial shifts, the critical role of space infrastructure, and the need for scientific knowledge to translate into economic capacity. Key speakers included Professor Pedro Santa Clara, who warned of rapid AI transformation, and Alexandre Silva, who highlighted space as a critical national infrastructure. The discussion emphasized the urgent need to develop AI-native business models and enhance data-driven decision-making, though specific employment impacts and exact economic projections remain uncertain.
Key points

- Alexandre Silva identified space infrastructure as a critical national asset, noting that by 2035 it will be comparable in importance to electrical grids and telecommunications networks.
