Unicorn Factory Lisboa is a Lisbon City Hall-backed innovation hub that helps founders move from idea to revenue to international scale, without having to “figure out the ecosystem” alone. It blends incubation and acceleration with practical support like pitch preparation, hiring playbooks, mentor access, and investor introductions, and it reports supporting over 1,000 startups and helping teams raise over €1B across its network. https://unicornfactorylisboa.com/


HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

In this short walkthrough, you see how the booth acts as a live showroom for a rotating cohort of startups, typically spanning pre-seed through post-seed and up to Series A. The team frames the space as a place to make the ecosystem legible: founders can demo products, meet partners, and join roundtables with public and private stakeholders who shape Lisbon’s startup pipeline here.

The conversation also shows how the event moment is used to amplify year-round programs, including an 8-month Scaling Up track aimed at post-seed scaleups with product–market fit, revenue signals, and an international growth plan. Filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, it captures the “innovation week” dynamic where municipal actors, ecosystem builders, and founders cross-pollinate quickly around funding, GTM strategy, and org design for growth.

What comes through is a public-private model for startup enablement: city-led convening power paired with operator-grade acceleration, plus thematic tracks that connect startups to sector partners (for example Net Zero and health-focused initiatives). If you are building in Europe, the clip is a concise look at how a city tries to turn community, capital, and capability-building into repeatable startup momentum at work.
