Artificial Intelligence Made in Portugal: ‘We grew more than 60% in one of the most competitive markets in the world,’ says DareData Partner.

DareData, a Portuguese company specialized in Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, closed 2025 with growth above 60%, driven by expansion among large organizations and by the strengthening of its team.

Throughout the year, the company developed around 60 new projects in the areas of Generative AI, Machine Learning Operations and Data Science & Machine Learning, and integrated more than 60 new professionals, bringing the team to more than 130 specialists in AI and Data. At the same time, it began working with more than 20 additional enterprise clients, consolidating its positioning in this segment.

To respond to the challenges of integration, governance and scalability that slow down many AI initiatives, DareData launched Gen-OS, an AI Operating System that functions as an integrated suite of products to orchestrate and scale AI ecosystems in enterprise environments, while keeping human control at the center of operations.

After, in 2024, 20% of its capital was acquired by NOS, the company opened a new office in Alvalade in 2025, maintaining its remote-first model while strengthening the conditions for technical growth, internal collaboration and product development.

According to Ivo Bernardo, Partner at DareData, “the approach to the market was restructured to support companies at different stages of AI maturity. The hybrid model between product and services makes it possible to create an integrated ecosystem within organizations, capable of scaling in enterprise environments, with faster implementations and less dependency on customization. We also believe that this model allows us to develop higher value products and obtain market signals more quickly, in one of the most competitive areas globally.”

For 2026, DareData intends to intensify its presence among enterprise clients, launching new strategic relationships and expanding Gen-OS implementations in production. At the beginning of the year, the company launched the products Gen-Assistant and Gen-Service, with the goal of transforming Artificial Intelligence into a critical operational infrastructure, always keeping humans at the center. The goal is to have the product suite implemented in at least 30 new enterprise clients by the end of the year.

“We grew more than 60% in one of the most competitive markets in the world and we did it by delivering real value in enterprise environments. With products in production, teams prepared to scale and a clear strategy for the industrialization of AI, we enter 2026 with the ambition of consolidating our position as a reference in the implementation of Artificial Intelligence ecosystems in large organizations,” says Ivo Bernardo.
