Create AI Tools for Personal Investing and SME Growth | Practical Masterclass in LISBON

Join us for an exclusive Masterclass in Lisbon led by Newton Campos, Professor at IE Business School.

The session will be followed by a networking cocktail, so you will have the chance to connect with Professor Newton, other professionals seeking development opportunities, the IE team, and IE Alumni.

About the topic

Across the world, a quieter revolution is beginning to transform both investing and small business growth. While artificial intelligence is often associated with startups and frontier technology, its most immediate practical impact may lie elsewhere: in the way investors, entrepreneurs, and managers analyze opportunities, make decisions, and improve performance in real businesses. 

In this masterclass, IE Prof. Newton M. Campos, PhD, global expert in Entrepreneurial Finance and Founding Partner of Newton Equity Partners, introduces participants to the idea of building their own AI-powered “robots” for investing and SMEs. These are not physical machines, but intelligent systems designed to support research, screening, analysis, monitoring, and value creation. 

Participants will explore how AI can complement human judgment rather than replace it, helping individuals learn faster, identify patterns, reduce noise, and make better decisions across business and investment contexts. Rather than focusing on hype, the session emphasizes practical applications, strategic thinking, and the growing importance of automation as a personal capability for the next generation of professionals.
