November 10, 2:00 PM, Alfândega do Porto Congress Center
ANI is organizing the national final of BfK Ideas 2022, a competition that brings together the best business ideas from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across Portugal. The initiative aims to encourage and support the work developed by these institutions and their Technology Transfer and Knowledge Valorization Offices.
The event is scheduled for November 10 at 2:00 PM at the Alfândega do Porto Congress Center. Earlier that day, at 9:30 AM, the semifinal will also take place at the same venue, where participants will present their ideas to a panel of experts.
The winners will be announced and selected by the Grand Jury, to whom the finalists will present their projects. From 29 competing projects, 4 will be awarded.
These projects represent HEIs from all over mainland Portugal, including: 9 from the North Region, 8 from the Center Region, 9 from Lisbon and Tagus Valley, 2 from the Alentejo and 1 from the Algarve. The projects focus on creating products, processes, or services based on scientific and technological foundations, showcasing creativity, innovation potential, business viability, and social responsibility.
Through BfK Ideas, participants had access to an Immersion Program held on October 11, 14, 21, and 27. The program aimed to refine their business ideas and enhance their pitch techniques.
Born from Knowledge is an initiative driven by ANI to foster a culture of valuing scientific and technological knowledge in Portugal by recognizing and rewarding best practices and success stories.
