Factory

Amandine Bouillet, a descendant from Portuguese immigrants in France, is a human meteor who landed in Beato during the pandemic and never left. As one of the forces behind a resident’s association called Viver Melhor no Beato [living better in Beato], she is the point of ignition for many social projects that support different segments of Lisbon’s population. Community work is her calling, as she tells us in another story from a series about our diverse community. Hub Criativo do Beato Camara Municipal de Lisboa #socialimpact #communitywork #lisboa

Yesterday evening, Factory Lisbon had the incredible honor of welcoming President Emmanuel Macron, hosted by Lisbon’s mayor, Carlos Moedas, to celebrate innovation and Europe. Instead of the traditional City Hall setting, the fireside chat—expertly moderated by our friend Roxanne VARZA from STATION F—took place at Factory, a campus built for the city’s ambitious startup community. Choosing Factory Lisbon as the venue for a state visit sends a strong message: the future of Europe is being shaped by entrepreneurs, innovators, and risk-takers. Challenging the status quo, pushing boundaries—that’s what we stand for. We <3 Europe. We <3 innovation. And we’re proud to be at the heart of it. cc Unicorn Factory Lisboa Hub Criativo do Beato Camara Municipal de Lisboa Lisboa Innovation #Innovation #Europe #FactoryLisbon #Entrepreneurship #BreakingConventions

With an intriguingly diverse background, Nicolai Sarbib has been discreetly building an impressive contemporary art scene in Xabregas, Lisbon. This Portuguese musician, curator, designer, gallerist [and, dare we say, entrepreneur in denial], who comes from a long line of artists and musicians, is also the founder and co-curator of Salto, a non-profit arts gallery dedicated to experimentation by young, outsider artists. We see him as an invaluable member of the community Factory Lisbon is a part of. He's also a brilliant conversationist and you can see that in our latest article about what makes Beato such a great place to be. #art #music #djCVLT #lisboa

Innovation Communities need to get more involved in the neighborhoods?they’re?in. At least that's how we feel. What we do at Factory - designing, developing and operating great innovation hubs - is inextricably linked to how these projects positively impact the people who inhabit the neighbourhoods where we operate.

Exciting news. We’ve got a new addition to the Factory Lisbon community… Welcome TUMO Portugal! Welcome 42! Don't know TUMO or 42? Both schools are internationally recognized for their disruptive pedagogical models. TUMO was founded in Armenia in 2011 to empower teens (12-18) in fields that cross technology and creativity, such as music, photography, cinema, animation, coding, robotics and game design. After Coimbra in 2023, TUMO Portugal is opening a new center in Lisbon, with programs for 1.500 students. 42 is one of the best schools for IT developers in the world. Founded in Paris in 2013, it targets people above 17yo, it’s free for all students and requires no previous coding knowledge. Joining Factory Lisbon is part of their strategy for growth, after opening a first Portuguese campus in Lisbon, in 2021, and a second one in Porto, in 2022. We can't wait to have all the TUMO and 42 students crossing paths around the building with our resident companies! And with that, Factory Lisbon is now full. Stay tuned for what’s next and some exciting events and activities we have planned for the community. #education #tumo #42 #factorylisbon Camara Municipal de Lisboa Interactive Technologies Institute Hub Criativo do Beato MicroHarvest Web Summit
