🚀 Still on the topic of the #SIMConference, we'd like to reminisce about one of the event's highlights: the pitch battles! We had six of them during the event, with 6 incredible winners. 🏆 On the 1st day, the big winners were SCUBIC (Sustainability & Cleantech), DeepNeuronic (AI), and Granter.ai (Fintech). On the 2nd day, Maven.Pet (Healthtech & Wellness), Interpretica (Prevention & Security), and AgroGrIN Tech (Agritech & Foodtech) stood out. 👏 We want to congratulate all of you on your fantastic projects, as we're sure they'll achieve great success in the future. We also want to extend our gratitude to all the other startups that participated! Even though they didn't win the pitch battles, they have a bright future ahead of them! 🤔 Which project inspired you the most during these battles?

⭐ The #SIMConference demanded meticulous planning, and there were various partners that were crucial for its smooth operation and positive outcome, but which may have gone unnoticed at first glance. 🙌 Outsite M.Ou.Co played a pivotal role as they hosted our guest speakers and members of the press. They were, without a doubt, a key piece in the success of the entire conference. 😎 They were also extraordinary, as they hosted the Outsite SIM Mixer, a pre-event gathering where attendees had the opportunity to network and gain insights into the conference before the doors opened during the next day.

🤔 Ready to cap off the week in style? Dive into the latest edition of Startup Portugal’s #IncubXDiscoveries! These articles spotlight various Portuguese incubators, unveiling their projects, exploring their communities, and outlining their future endeavors. 🏝️ Located in the Azores, TERINOV - Science and Technology Park stands out as an incubator dedicated to fostering innovation through knowledge and technology. They offer an enriching ecosystem geared towards enhancing the business competitiveness of the Azores region. 🚀 Currently, the #TERINOV ecosystem hosts a total of 78 projects, of which 71 are of a business nature and 7 entities of a scientific nature, drawing together approximately 290 skilled professionals! 📍 We sat down with Duarte Pimentel, Executive Director of TERINOV, who captured the essence of their project: “We believe that the main advantages of setting up in TERINOV are the privileged access to a number of differentiating assets, such as the Azorean tax regime, access to specific regional financing mechanisms, physical proximity to knowledge centers and research units, plus integration into a highly dynamic technology-based business ecosystem, where you can breathe innovation and where synergies arise naturally and spontaneously, boosting the development of new ideas, services and products with high added value”, he emphasized. 🔗 Dive deeper into this incubator and explore its projects and future initiatives by accessing the full article through the link below: https://lnkd.in/dC6fN_VH
