SEVEN YEARS
BUILDING FOUNDATIONS.
A NEW HORIZON AHEAD.
For seven years, the José Neves Foundation dedicated itself to transforming the lives of hundreds of thousands of Portuguese — through education, employability, and mental well-being.
Today, in a world being reshaped by artificial intelligence, a central question emerges: how do we preserve and nurture what makes us profoundly human? That is the mission of Alaya Foundation — our most ambitious project ever, leveraging all the resources and experience of the José Neves Foundation.
