Leading the future of intelligent management.

The Cegid Partner Summit 2026, held at the iconic Centro de Congressos da Alfândega do Porto on September 15, 2026, was the epicenter of technological innovation applied to management. It brought together the best of the Cegid ecosystem, with more than 800 technology partners and industry professionals, for a day of sharing, strategic vision and presentations of the latest innovations shaping the future of technology and Artificial Intelligence.

The INCENTEA team was present with an exhibition space and at the sessions, closely following an agenda full of major technology announcements aimed at accelerating the competitiveness of small and medium-sized businesses.

INCENTEA’s participation also included international representation, with the heads of operations for Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde in attendance, reinforcing the group’s strategic vision and its commitment to following technological developments and innovation opportunities in the different markets where it operates.

Portugal as a center of excellence and the new era of AI

The event highlighted the strategic relevance of Portugal within the Cegid group. The country now acts not only as a priority market, but as a true innovation platform and center of excellence in Artificial Intelligence, from which global technical support is provided to leading international brands such as Hermès and L’Oréal.

Throughout the various talks, the message was reinforced that the market is at a decisive turning point. The evolution toward increasingly intelligent and autonomous management systems is already a reality within reach of Portuguese SMEs.

AI has moved beyond being merely a content-generation tool and is evolving into autonomous agents capable of acting directly on business processes. The next step points to Intelligent/Goal-Driven AI, in which systems will act guided by objectives, with greater autonomy and capacity for initiative.

Cegid Pulse: real productivity gains

The major technology highlight of the event was Cegid Pulse and its integration with Cegid ERP Evolution. Several indicators were presented demonstrating the impact of this technology on operational efficiency.

The use of virtual agents and Cegid Pulse tripled visits to the support forum, autonomously answering 60% of the questions asked, with an 80% usefulness rate. In parallel, there was a 9% reduction in average time per case, a 30% increase in the capacity of junior technicians, and a significant decrease in the time needed to diagnose internal incidents, from two to three hours to about 30 minutes.

As highlighted by Tiago Costa Lima, Product Strategy Director at Cegid Portugal, the goal is to deliver AI that is “invisible” to the user but has a highly measurable impact on results. The system can take on complex tasks, such as bank reconciliations or month-end close simulations, allowing professionals to focus their efforts on higher-value decisions.

Parallel sessions

Throughout the Cegid Partner Summit, INCENTEA attended several sessions dedicated to strengthening the solutions portfolio, namely Cegid PHC, Cegid Primavera and Eye Peak.

Among the specialized solutions, the highlights were Cegid Docs & Document AI, with over 90% accuracy in the automatic reading and posting of invoices; Cegid Fiscal Automation, prepared for the transition to mandatory electronic invoicing planned for 2027; and Eye Peak, which presented new mobile terminals and features designed to optimize warehouse management and logistics operations.

An inspirational moment: “The scarcest resource is attention”

One of the most memorable moments of the event was delivered by Professor Luís Filipe Reis, a faculty member at Porto Business School and FEP, who offered a particularly relevant reflection on leadership and management:

“In today’s organizations, the scarcest resource is not time, it is attention. Management’s great responsibility is to build differentiation and to have the courage to say ‘no’ to whatever does not add value.”

Luís Filipe Reis argued that every strategic decision should have a direct impact on creating value for the customer or increasing operational efficiency, or else risk falling into the illusion of movement without results.

New visual identity: “Own What’s Next”

Diana Silva, Head of Marketing, presented the renewal of the Cegid brand identity. Keeping the blue color and the original logo, the brand is evolving toward more human, modern and approachable communication, with real photography, dynamic visual elements and a new typeface.

The transformation is embodied in the brand’s new global signature, “Own What’s Next,” reinforcing Cegid’s ambition to lead the future of management starting from the present.

The launch of the AI Transformation Award was also announced, a distinction designed to recognize the partners responsible for the Artificial Intelligence projects with the greatest impact and added value for their customers.

INCENTEA among Cegid’s top 3 New Business partners

INCENTEA was recognized by Cegid as one of its three largest New Business partners, a ranking that reflects the organization’s ability to generate growth, win new customers and drive digital transformation projects with high market impact.

INCENTEA’s participation in the Cegid Partner Summit 2026 once again reflects its commitment to helping companies adopt useful, secure technology focused on concrete results.

INCENTEA Angola reinforces its commitment to digital transformation at ANGOTIC 2026

INCENTEA Angola took part in the 2026 edition of ANGOTIC – Angola ICT Forum, the country’s largest Information and Communication Technology forum, held June 11 to 13, 2026 at the Centro de Convenções de Talatona (CCTA) in Luanda, under the theme “On the Road to Digital Transformation.”

Recognized as one of the most important platforms for promoting technological innovation in Angola, ANGOTIC brought together government entities, companies, experts, entrepreneurs, students and national and international technology partners to discuss the country’s digital future, promote knowledge exchange and foster business and cooperation opportunities.

INCENTEA Angola took part at the booth of its partner Cegid, reinforcing the shared commitment to supporting Angolan organizations in modernizing their management processes through innovative technology solutions that deliver greater efficiency, productivity and competitiveness.

Over the three days of the event, the INCENTEA team had the opportunity to present its portfolio of business solutions, make new contacts and strengthen relationships with customers and partners, while closely following the main trends driving digital transformation in Angola.

INCENTEA Angola was represented by Gaspar de Sá, Account Manager, Marlene Almeida, Assistant, Valentino Canjovo, Solutions Consultant, and Celestino Constantino, Solution Consultant. The team was also joined by João Soares, Country Manager of Cegid for Angola and Mozambique, reinforcing the strategic collaboration between the two organizations.

During the event, visitors had the opportunity to learn in detail about the technology solutions offered by INCENTEA and Cegid, designed to address companies’ current challenges, particularly in business management, digital transformation, process optimization, data analytics and technological innovation.

Beyond the exhibition component, ANGOTIC 2026 offered a dynamic environment for learning and sharing, through plenary sessions, parallel conferences, technology demonstrations and innovation initiatives such as the Conecta Challenge, promoting dialogue among the different players in Angola’s digital ecosystem.

Among the many sectors represented, initiatives related to smart mobility and automotive innovation also stood out, with solutions for more technological, sustainable and connected vehicles, highlighting the growing integration of technology, mobility and sustainability.

For INCENTEA Angola, taking part in ANGOTIC 2026 was a strategic opportunity to consolidate its presence in the market, strengthen its proximity to the Angolan business community and actively contribute to accelerating the digital transformation of organizations.

INCENTEA thanks all the customers, partners and visitors who stopped by the Cegid booth and reaffirms its commitment to continue providing technology solutions that help companies meet today’s challenges and build the future with confidence, innovation and efficiency.

INCENTEA Convention 2026 reinforces vision, culture and ambition for the future.

INCENTEA held its 2026 Convention, one of the most significant moments on the organization’s internal calendar, bringing together employees, partners and customers at a gathering that reinforced the importance of people, shared vision and the strategic ambition that has guided the company’s growth. The event once again showed that great organizations are not built on technology, strategy or results alone, but above all with teams aligned by a common purpose.

Led by Board Member Luís Barreiro, the session highlighted an INCENTEA that is more ambitious in winning the Iberian market, more international through its consolidation in Portuguese-speaking markets, and increasingly prepared to lead its customers’ digital transformation.
Among the milestones presented were strategic operations that strengthened the company’s international presence, such as the acquisition of F3M Angola, which expanded its capacity to operate in the Angolan market with a focus on Cegid solutions, the integration of Dragomar in Spain, and the acquisition of a stake in Kaizen Tech, reinforcing its commitment to industrial solutions for larger companies.
The Convention also highlighted continued investment in innovation, with a focus on Artificial Intelligence initiatives and new in-house security solutions aligned with frameworks such as ISO 27001. These solutions allow customers to implement protection measures in a modular, progressive way, strengthening organizations’ technological maturity.
INCENTEA’s evolution is also reflected in the numbers: 369 employees, 36,000 training hours in 2025, and a geographic presence spread across Portugal, international markets and employees working remotely. Luís Barreiro also underlined INCENTEA’s move into the Small Midcap segment, joining a select group of around 300 companies in Portugal.

Organizational culture was also in the spotlight with the INCENTEA Move Together initiative, which promotes healthy lifestyle habits, walks, nutrition tips and moments of genuine connection, contributing to well-being and to reducing everyday stress.
One of the most symbolic moments of the Convention was the tribute to Caiado, a longtime INCENTEA customer. The award, presented by Filipe Fonseca, celebrated a relationship built on trust and closeness over decades. “Caiado is part of INCENTEA’s history, and perhaps we are also part of Caiado’s history,” he said. In response, Paula Caiado reinforced the spirit of continuity: “We will try to carry on for another 50 years.”
The talk by keynote speaker Ricardo Cabete, an Emotional Intelligence specialist, brought messages of inspiration and reflection, underlining the impact that small changes in attitude can have on individual and collective performance.
In his closing message, CEO and Board Member António Poças thanked everyone for their joint effort, reinforced the culture of continuous improvement and highlighted the role of ambition in INCENTEA’s growth. For the coming years, the company’s goals are to double revenue and profitability, increase efficiency and strengthen its presence among Corporate customers. On Artificial Intelligence, he left one of the most memorable messages of the event:

He also recalled the storm in Leiria, highlighting the resilience and mutual support shown by the team, a moment that reflected the strength of the company’s internal culture.
More than an annual gathering, the INCENTEA Convention 2026 established itself as a moment of strategic alignment and reinforcement of organizational culture, strengthening the bond among employees, partners and customers. This year’s edition shows an INCENTEA that is growing and continues to evolve without losing what sets it apart: closeness, trust and a genuine focus on people.

What defined this edition?
A strong culture. A genuine atmosphere.

INCENTEA thanks all the employees, partners and customers who attended the 22nd edition of the Convention, reinforcing the relationships of trust that are essential to our shared growth.
