At Técnico, we deeply value the connection with the vast external entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem.

In addition to our own resources, we encourage entrepreneurs to explore and benefit from the various opportunities available outside the campus. There are numerous incubators, accelerators, coworking spaces, and mentoring networks that can provide additional and complementary support.

Organizations such as Startup Lisboa, Beta-i, and Startup Portugal offer acceleration programs, networking events, and valuable resources for startups at various stages of development. Additionally, business associations and government entities, such as ANI (Agência Nacional de Inovação) and IAPMEI, provide funding, grants, and specialized consulting to foster innovation and business growth.

By connecting with this broader ecosystem, you can maximize collaboration opportunities, gain diverse perspectives, and accelerate the growth of your project. Join us to explore all the possibilities the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem has to offer and take your ideas to new heights.
