João Claro, Chairman of INESC TEC, spoke with António Costa Silva at Liga dos Inovadores about why bridging science and industry remains so difficult in Portugal — and how institutions like INESC TEC, with over 700 researchers and spin-offs such as Kep Soft, LTP Labs and Ilof, keep finding ways to close that gap. Listen at Expresso.

Prof. Arlindo Oliveira, Chairman of INESC and member of the steering committee of Portugal’s National Artificial Intelligence Agenda, was interviewed by Renascença and Público on the programme Hora da Verdade. The conversation covers the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, the absence of an integrated vision for AI use in public administration, the current state of the Amália project, risks for education, and the approaching threshold of recursive self-improvement in AI models. The full interview is available at Público.

In the seventh episode of ECO’s Podcast .IA, Inês Lynce, president of INESC-ID, explains how SAIL, an artificial intelligence laboratory backed by €27.2 million from Horizon Europe, was designed to bring science all the way down the chain: from research to companies, through advanced training and technology transfer.
