Webinar: “Trade Secrets – The Importance of Their Protection”

Trade secrets are crucial as they contain valuable information that can set you apart from the competition. This information may include algorithms, processes, methods, designs, or any other type of confidential data, providing you with a significant competitive advantage in the market.

In the transition to a 4.0 Economy, which is increasingly open and collaborative, where technology serves not only productivity but also humanity and sustainability, protecting so-called “trade secrets” becomes a challenge. In the European Union, it is possible to protect trade secrets in collaborative environments through available legal mechanisms combined with contractual, technological, and procedural measures.

As part of a protocol with PRA, Raposo, Sá Miranda & Associados, The Venture Builder will host a fully online webinar on 16/07/2025 at 3:00 PM, aimed at startups and scale-ups (and open to other companies) that wish to learn how to protect their trade secrets while keeping their businesses at the forefront of innovation.

PRA, Raposo, Sá Miranda & Associados is a dynamic, multidisciplinary law firm with over 200 professionals and a national presence across mainland Portugal and the islands, focused on providing integrated legal advice in key areas of law.

This new partnership, to be presented on July 16, in addition to offering tangible benefits for startups (such as free legal consulting), can significantly boost their success.
