Técnico Innovation Summit 2026 (TIS 2026) is the main annual gathering of the innovation ecosystem of Instituto Superior Técnico and will take place on February 3, 2026, at the Técnico Innovation Center (TIC).

In its second edition, and building on the momentum of its 2024 debut, TIS 2026 brings together Research and Development Units, projects under the PRR and European programs, Técnico spin-offs, and the Técnico Partner Network in a one-day initiative dedicated to applied science, knowledge transfer, and technological entrepreneurship. 

As expected, the Instituto de Telecomunicações will be present with two groups: our Antennas group, which will showcase its latest defense-related prototypes, and the Quantum group, which will introduce its recently established laboratory.
