Seminar and international visit as part of the SKALE2CT project
ANI organized an international visit as part of the SKALE2CT project, which brought together members of the consortium, international stakeholders and representatives of the Portuguese ecosystem to discuss entrepreneurship and support for startups.
During the morning, the hybrid seminar “Co-Creating and Innovative Tools for Startup Growth and Acceleration” took place, focusing on adapting public policies to the needs of startups. The event featured presentations by ANI, the Pedro Nunes Institute (IPN) and Portuguese startups with international projection, such as iLof and PICadvanced.
The activity continued in the afternoon with a visit to UPTEC’s facilities, where the partners had an immersive opportunity to get to know Porto’s innovation ecosystem and learn more about the incubator’s start-up acceleration practices.
Overall, the initiative reinforced the importance of collaboration between the different players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the creation of more effective and accessible support instruments for innovation.
