Kids Young Founders Pitch at Tech Week Palace 2026

Unicorn School at Portugal Tech Week
They’re 8. They’re 12. They’re 17. And they already have a business plan.
A pitch should be judged by the strength of its idea, not the age of the person delivering it. So what happens when the founder on stage is still in school?
On Thursday, 12 November, Unicorn School students aged 8–17 take the stage at PTW Palace to present their business projects. They’ll show the problems they’ve spotted, the solutions they’ve built, and ideas they’re ready to defend in front of a live audience.
At Unicorn School, entrepreneurship isn’t a subject on the timetable. The whole curriculum is built around it. Students learn to take an idea past “what if” and turn it into a proposal they can stand behind. This is your chance to see that learning in action.
We dare to be different.
Why come?
Entrepreneurs and investors: Watch live pitches and see how a new generation thinks about problems, customers, and opportunities. What are they noticing that you’ve stopped seeing?
Parents: See what children can do when their education gives them room to take initiative, make decisions, and speak for themselves.
Educators: Watch entrepreneurial learning take shape through students’ own projects, and take fresh questions back to your classroom.
