Case Study - Tech Sector - Aspire Technology - Helder Palhas
Following our annual St. Patrick’s Day Sustainability conference, the IPBN was led on an exclusive tour of the Hub Criativo do Beato in Lisbon and Ombria resort grounds in the Algarve to do a deep dive into what these projects are offering toward a greener future and what steps they have taken to ensure sustainability stays a number-one priority.
The network intends to harmonize relationships between its members based in Ireland by inviting those from Portugal along with several other local Irish business associations.
The main goals of the protocol are to facilitate student placements with IPBN members in Portugal and Ireland, to develop partnerships between the UCP and Universities in Ireland, to champion innovation and sustainability and to create bridges in these two sectors between the academic and the business world with the IPBN, and to explore synergies and partnerships between the two countries in the textile and biotechnology industries, among others.
The IPBN would like to take a moment to recognize the continuous and loyal support of Ireland’s Ambassador to Portugal, H.E. Ralph Victory, and the entire supporting staff at the Embassy in Lisbon. Their assistance, in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland and Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, has helped the IPBN grow constantly.
