At the QSP Summit, one of the main management and marketing conferences held in Portugal since 2007, INESC TEC showed how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help industry leaders navigate global uncertainty. The Institute presented an AI-based application to predict real estate values.
This year’s edition, under the theme “Rethinking Organisations”, brought together thinkers and innovators in a diverse programme featuring lectures, worklabs and masterclasses. The conference opened with the words of Pedro Machado, Portugal’s Secretary of State for Tourism, focused on the country’s growing ambition towards AI.
At a time when Europe is facing many crises – from the climate to geopolitical tensions -, INESC TEC has shown how AI and data analysis can help companies navigate increasingly unpredictable circumstances.
The institution’s contributions stood out for their practical applications. INESC TEC presented a real estate value prediction model developed for an analytics company, demonstrating how machine learning can help clarify notoriously opaque markets.
“INESC TEC’s participation showed our innovative machine learning and natural language processing applications to face challenges in emerging sectors of the Portuguese economy”, said Augustin Olivier, Business Developer at INESC TEC. “We are particularly focused on sectors like construction, finance and digital marketing, which are evolving rapidly, but which are not yet considered national piorities in technological innovation”.
Amid widespread economic volatility, organisations worldwide seek stability. In this context, entities like INESC TEC play a vital role. By turning academic advances into practical strategies, partnerships like this pave the way for greater resilience across industries.
José Nina Andrade, Business Developer, and the researchers João Silva, Gonçalo Nunes and Manuel Curral also represented INESC TEC during the event.
