This one-of-a-kind event will unite leaders from politics, energy, media, technology, and youth to address the pressing challenges of our time, focused on accelerating the energy transition.
In an age of uncertainty—marked by geopolitical tensions, climate instability, and the rapid evolution of technology — one thing is clear: the future won’t wait! There is a growing need for dialogue that fosters collaboration, innovation, and radical optimism. The Lisbon Future Dialogue is more than just a conversation: it’s a catalyst for bold ideas and game-changing collaboration, where global leaders, policymakers, business pioneers, and visionaries come together to shape a future that is not only sustainable but socially just and technologically responsible.
Over two days, participants will engage in bold conversations on defining issues of our time, such as the geopolitics of the energy transition, the role of artificial intelligence and big tech in sustainability, the impact of climate change on migration and social justice, and the growing challenges of disinformation in the digital era. The event will also examine how we rise above political and cultural divides to spark a global movement for climate action and energy transformation.

Future Food is a two-day programme running alongside Future dialogue exploring how we can future-proof our food systems through stronger chef–producer relationships, community education, and the celebration of Portuguese produce and territories.
Through talks, demos, tastings, and collaborative action, we’ll build a white paper of ideas and pledges to shape a resilient, sustainable food future.
This is a platform to feed the conversation around our global food systems.
It is a curated, immersive food journey developed and delivered by visionary Future Food chefs Vince Kelly and Arthur Potts. These internationally respected leaders in sustainable gastronomy bring decades of expertise in culinary innovation, systems change, and community impact.
“We cannot talk about energy, technology, climate, and justice without talking about food. Food lies at the heart of every global challenge and every viable solution. From soil health to social cohesion, from carbon emissions to cultural identity — how we grow, distribute, and eat our food is central to shaping a more just, liveable, and confident green world,” said Future Food Chefs Vince Kelly & Arthur Potts
Working in collaboration with our host Praça Beato, the future-chefs co-design the culinary framework of Future Food by working with local chefs, farmers, food artisans, and policymakers to reflect the unique culture and ecosystem of Portugal, while staying rooted in global sustainability standards.
