Tony Gonçalves Brings Tribeca Festival to Lisbon, Fostering US-Portugal Ties

Tony Gonçalves, a Portuguese-American entrepreneur and media executive, has made waves by bringing the prestigious Tribeca Festival to Lisbon. Born in Portugal and raised in the U.S., Gonçalves has dedicated his career to bridging the gap between the two countries' cultural and business landscapes.

Gonçalves' latest venture, the Evrose Group, aims to guide and advise Portuguese businesses in scaling and transforming their operations. His expertise in international business development, honed during his tenure at companies like Sharp Electronics, Samsung, and WarnerMedia, has proven invaluable in this endeavour.

In 2024, Gonçalves took the bold step of launching the first-ever edition of the Tribeca Festival outside the U.S., in partnership with New York's Tribeca and Portugal's SIC. As the executive producer of the Tribeca Festival Lisbon, held from October 18 to 19, he brought together international talent and enthusiasts, celebrating both countries' cultural richness.

Gonçalves' passion for Portugal extends beyond business. He recently launched The Heart & Hustle of Portugal, a podcast dedicated to building a community of Portugal enthusiasts. In one episode, actor Chazz Palminteri shared his journey from the Bronx to the theater stage, expressing his love for Lisbon's culture, particularly its sardines.

Tony Gonçalves' initiatives, from founding the Evrose Group to launching the Tribeca Festival Lisbon and The Heart & Hustle of Portugal podcast, reflect his commitment to fostering connections between the U.S. and Portugal. His efforts are expected to continue enriching the cultural and business ties between the two countries.
