Tech4Good Days
Tech4Good Days 2025 is a two-day international event taking place on 17–18 July 2025 in Porto, Portugal, dedicated to exploring how technology can accelerate environmental and social action and drive systemic change. Tech4Good Days brings together a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, students, creatives, investors, and ecosystem builders to learn, connect, and act for a more sustainable future.
In the scope of the application to create an Impact Hub in Porto, the event blends inspiring keynotes, practical workshops, and immersive field visits to impact-driven businesses and impact initiatives in the Porto region. From design thinking and generative AI for impact to fireside chats with leading tech founders and C-level executives, participants will explore solutions at the intersection of innovation, inclusion, and the environment.
With a strong focus on community and collaboration, Tech4Good Days welcomes participants of all ages, from 17 to 99+, and fosters meaningful dialogue between local and international changemakers, including African and Erasmus students, the Portuguese startup ecosystem, and purpose-driven organizations.
