The 360 Tech Industry 2026 Portugal fair is the premier stage for the transition to Industry 5.0. This event at Exponor shows how Industry 5.0 startups Portugal are humanizing technology. They are making production cycles more sustainable and efficient.
BRAINR: The "Digital Brain" of Food Production
A standout at the HubTech Space is Brainr, a startup from Leiria. They have created a "digital brain" for the food sector. Their AI software already manages over 30% of all meat production in Portugal.
By using real-time data, Brainr helps factories cut human error and speed up work. At the company Comave, shipping errors dropped by 94%. At AviSabor, inventory turnover grew by 50%. This is a prime example of digital transformation manufacturing Portugal in action. With a team of 32 people, Brainr is now ready to expand internationally.
Startups Shaping the New Industrial Reality
The fair features ten young companies that are redefining the "factory of the future." For example, Planta transforms factories into intelligent systems. They helped the company Horse (Renault Group) save 18% on energy costs.
Other innovators include Bravo, which uses 3D printing to fix old industrial parts, and Gomec, which focus on industrial ergonomics to help workers. This growth is creating a huge demand for talent; if you are looking to join this revolution, you should check the latest IT jobs in Portugal to find where these startups are hiring.
