WHAT CAN WE EXPECT NEXT YEAR AND BEYOND?

 

20by20. Our partners from Bright Pixel have brought together several relevant entrepreneurs, investors, partners and national entities to predict the trends that come with the beginning of the new year - and the new decade! And Startup Lisboa left its contribution through our executive director, Miguel Fontes:

"The future of 2020 is already here. There is a growing separation between “pure and hard” business and environmentally sustainable and socially responsible business. We are beginning to see more and more businesses clearly embodying these dimensions while scaling and achieving competitive results in the same startup ecosystem.

In the future, there will be no room for business models that do not rely on full transparency about their impact on society, the environment, and the economy. The tendency is to strengthen the humanization of organizations and technology, to put them at the service of people and not the other way around.

A technology trend for 2020? The voice. It will definitely be the year of technologies that will make voice our most common form of interaction, as they respond to what is probably the most natural mechanism of our communication as human beings."
