"Portugal revolutionized daily life with the introduction of the ATM, a convenience that rendered bank visits obsolete. In contrast, the Dutch were compelled to physically visit their bank to withdraw funds."
In 2025, the Innovators' League, a distinguished advisory board, gathered to discuss the improvements in Portugal's innovation ecosystem and identify gaps that need to be addressed. The board, composed of António Costa Silva, Isabel Rocha, and Ricardo Paes Mamede, delved into the most significant business innovations of the last decade.
One of the standout innovations was TAP Air Portugal's partnership with Revolut in 2025. This collaboration introduced RevolutPay as a secure one-click checkout payment option for customers in the UK and Portugal, enhancing the customer experience and reinforcing digital payment strategies within the airline industry.
Another innovation that caught the board's attention was SOFTSWISS, a Portuguese-based global tech provider in iGaming. The company's commitment to maintaining an extremely high product uptime (99.999%) and expanding its game aggregator portfolio to over 35,000 games by mid-2025, showcases their focus on reliability, scalable solutions, and integrating technology with long-term business vision.
While the World Internet of Things Convention 2025 emphasized global digital economy development and interconnected smart technologies, no direct mention linked it specifically to Portuguese business innovations by Innovators' League members.
Portugal's proactive measures to attract international entrepreneurship through business expansion visas for investors also reflect strategic innovations in fostering global business growth and residency.
In a separate development, the second most listened to podcast episode in 2025 features sound design and photography work. Interestingly, this episode was produced by a trio - Gustavo Carvalho, Salomé Rita, and Nuno Fox - who, despite their involvement in the podcast, are not members of the Innovators' League. It's worth noting that these three individuals are also not Portuguese innovations from the last decade, nor are they journalists or editors.
As the second most listened to episode of the podcast in 2025 is being relived, it serves as a testament to the captivating nature of sound design and photography work, even beyond the realm of business innovations.
Elisabete Miranda, a journalist, is not involved in the production of this podcast episode, but her keen eye for news undoubtedly contributes to the vibrant journalistic landscape in Portugal.
In conclusion, the Innovators’ League in 2025 underscores digital payment integration, high-reliability technology platforms in gaming, and strategic international business facilitation as significant Portuguese business innovations over the past decade. These advancements not only reflect Portugal's commitment to digital transformation but also its potential for continued growth in the global economy.
