The event, which in its last edition featured over 3,500 participants and 120 speakers, seeks to deepen the reflection on how creativity can be a strategic tool to face technological, economic, social, and organizational transformations.
NEXXT Leiria 2026 will once again bring together companies, academic institutions, brands, and the community. Through conferences, workshops, masterclasses, and networking opportunities, the goal is to foster knowledge sharing, create new connections, and explore business opportunities.
Beyond the business and innovation aspects, the program maintains a strong connection to culture, music, and art, valuing the intersection of different fields as a driver for new ideas and approaches.
Organized by the Municipality of Leiria and created by CO+K, NEXXT Leiria is supported by entities from the regional ecosystem, including Startup Leiria. The event aims to strengthen the link between talent, knowledge, entrepreneurship, and the local economic fabric.
