INNOVATION & DOING BUSINESS IN PORTUGAL

We were very pleased to host our new conference in Dublin at the Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) Thursday June 20 from 0900 to 1pm. Committed to highlighting Portugal vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, we invited our guests to explore and be inspired by the country innovative spirit.

The conference featured a series of captivating panel discussions and conversations with experts assembled for everyone interested in the country innovation scene and to know more about doing business in Portugal.

This unique conference offered an unmissable opportunity for anyone wishing to discover what makes Portugal truly unique to live and to do business.

It was a comprehensive introduction of doing business in Portugal for those thinking or starting their journey in Portugal entrepreneurial ecosystem, providing valuable insights and essential information and contacts and the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with Irish companies who are already doing business in Portugal and IPBN members and Executive Partners, reflecting the dynamism and diversity of the country entrepreneurial scene.

We were delighted to be able to count on the presence of the Chair of the IPBN and its Board members and a special thank you to all our Executive Partners for their constant support.
