Throughout Web Summit we had the privilege of meeting partners and organizations that share our vision of a more sustainable and innovative future.

The highlight of our visit was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Municipality of Sever do Vouga and Startup Portugal. The aim of this memorandum is to strengthen support for companies that hold official startup or scale-up status and are headquartered or active in our municipality, decisively boosting the local entrepreneurial ecosystem. This milestone represents a firm commitment to fostering the growth and innovation of local businesses, creating a more dynamic and competitive environment that is ready for global challenges. The partnership with Startup Portugal opens new doors for our startups and scale-ups, giving them access to a network of knowledge, strategic support, and unique internationalization opportunities.
