FutureTense
Imagine Portugal in 2050 — the most future-ready country in the world. What would that look like? Today, we’re not just dreaming about it — we’re starting a conversation to make it real.
FutureTense, our podcast series, is a space to imagine, question, and build futures from Portugal, with people who dare to think differently. Hosted by Leonor Rothes, the first episode drops March 2026, featuring interviews with Future Thinkers in Portugal and across the globe.
