Abstract: Motivated by the anticipated data rates of the high-luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider, we report the first predictions up to next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics with parton-shower matching for the production and decay of scalars and heavy neutrinos from the Scotogenic model for neutrino masses and dark matter at $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV and $\sqrt{s}=100$ TeV. We carry out our simulations using the \texttt{FeynRules}+\texttt{MadGraph5\_aMC@NLO}+\texttt{Pythia8} pipeline. As a byproduct, we report the public release of the \texttt{SM\_Scoto} Universal \texttt{FeynRules} Object libraries for modeling the Scotogenic model in high-energy processes. We comment on prospects of observing new rare $Z$ decays at future $e^+e^-$ collider facilities as well as on the production of new particles at a multi-TeV $μ^+μ^-$ collider.
