The Lab2Market@Técnico program annually identifies projects to be carried out by doctoral and master's students, as well as faculty members from the Instituto Superior Técnico. With the support of NTT Data Portugal and i-Deals, the selected teams receive specialized business consulting, particularly in market evaluation, value proposition development, how to present the project to investors, and identifying and contacting potential partners and clients. The António Brandão de Vasconcelos Award distinguishes the team that stood out the most throughout the program.

The DEI team, Diogo Rato and Pedro M. Fernandes, both PhD students, and Professor Rui Prada, were this year's winners with a project on automatic testing of video games using Artificial Intelligence.
