If you're in real estate, construction, or the built environment in Portugal, this one's for you.
Portugal builds around 20,000 new homes a year. It needs at least 180,000 over the next decade. And the sector is short 80,000 to 90,000 workers "in practically every trade", according to AICCOPN.
The traditional way of building can't close that gap. The numbers prove it: by February 2026, only 68% of the 26,000 PRR homes due by June 2026 had been delivered.
Industrialized construction can. Grupo Casais just built a student residence in Beja with 100 people on site instead of 300. Modular factories are arriving, promising build times up to 50% shorter.
So why isn't everyone doing it yet?
On 13 November, we're hosting "Industrialization of Construction". One evening. A curated room. The developers, builders and investors deciding whether Portugal builds the next decade in factories or on scaffolding.

The session will explore what it really takes to industrialize construction in Portugal: offsite and modular at scale, the business case versus traditional builds, financing and permitting a factory-made project, and who wins when buildings are assembled rather than built.
Why people show up:
โ Direct conversations: no noise, no fluff
โ People open to partnerships, pilots, and new ideas
โ Access to speakers: not just listening, but exchanging
The players who move first will set the standard for the next 180,000 homes. This is where they meet.
Spots are limited.
Free for members. A small number of external tickets are available.
