Lusa - Business News - Portugal: Agent Days event puts AI agents to work for humans

Lisbon, April 27, 2026 (Lusa) - Lisbon’s Beato Innovation District (a technology and creative hub) will host the Agent Days event on Friday, 1 May, where artificial intelligence (AI) agents will work for humans, marking the first event of its kind in Portugal, organisers said.

"The first Agents Day takes place on Friday, 1 May 2026, at the Beato Innovation District in Lisbon," CTO Portugal (a community for technology leaders) co-founder Pedro Oliveira told Lusa.

"One hundred people registered, and the event was sold out," he added.

Pedro Gustavo Torres and Pedro Oliveira co-founded CTO Portugal, a community of technology and AI leaders, which now has more than 700 members.

The group promoted initiatives, meetings, and events to bring together those building the technology of the future in the Portuguese market over recent years.

Developers, founders, builders with a direct interest in AI tools, automation, new products mainly compose the Agent Days audience.

Oliveira explained that the idea for this first-of-its-kind event grew from a simple conviction: AI had stopped being just a debate topic and had become a critical change tool across all aspects of society.

"Instead of another conference made of presentations, we wanted an event centred on execution where developers, founders, builders could experiment, build, and show what is possible with AI agents," he added.

Talent Protocol, a firm building reputation infrastructure for an agent-focused internet, co-organises Agents Day with CTO Portugal.

The company helps agents and humans understand whom to trust based on verifiable data, he said.

Additionally, it links the builder ecosystem to the practical side of execution, project evaluation, and talent discovery, Oliveira said.

The event aims to "create a real workspace, not just talk, where people can build with AI agents, test ideas, share knowledge, and accelerate new collaborations."

"We also want to show Lisbon has the critical mass to lead this new technological wave," he said.

Regarding expectations for the first edition, Oliveira said the main goal involved "validating the format and ensuring an incredible experience for all participants."

"We want the day to result in projects, demos, new connections, ideally the start of new teams, products, initiatives," he concluded.
