AI is moving quickly. Most people do not need more noise; they need a trusted local place to learn, ask better questions, meet useful people and practise what works. Cascais AI Hub Association exists to make that possible for everyone.
We want Cascais to become one of Europe's most AI-literate local communities — practical, responsible and open to every level of experience.
Help residents, students, educators and professionals understand AI clearly, without jargon or hype.
Move from curiosity to useful workflows, better decisions and practical confidence in everyday work.
Bring people together across education, business, creativity and technology so the whole ecosystem gets stronger.
These are the operating tenets of the organisation. They keep the community open, useful and serious about public benefit as the ecosystem grows.
AI should be understandable, practical and accessible to more people — not just engineers and early adopters.
AI should support people, not replace human judgement, creativity or responsibility.
Cascais can become a meaningful node in the international AI ecosystem — starting here, growing outwards.
We encourage thoughtful, ethical and useful applications of AI — and honest conversations about risk.
Real connection, shared learning and practical outcomes — not noise, not buzzwords, not theatre.
Residents, students, educators, founders, professionals, creatives, investors and curious people — all welcome.
The community should help people use AI in work, learning, entrepreneurship and everyday life.
We are building the foundations for a wider AI ecosystem in Cascais: more learning, more collaboration, more events, more talent, and more opportunities to connect people who are shaping the future.
We are starting with community, education and connection. More initiatives will be shared as the community grows. Help shape what comes next.
Share a few details so we can welcome you properly, understand your interests, and keep the community useful, safe and relevant.
We'll send the next step for joining the community shortly, including WhatsApp access where relevant. You'll also receive the Local Intelligence Digest as part of the community.
Your details are kept confidential and used only to manage community access.
Community access starts with a short form so we can welcome people properly, reduce spam and keep the group relevant. It is not a gatekeeping process.
