In response to several requests from municipalities and local/regional development agencies, Instituto Pedro Nunes has systematically developed and launch stimulation activities for the promotion of entrepreneurship initiatives, innovation and business and idea incubation.
Taking advantage of its multi-faceted skills, IPN supports various activities tailored to each partner, such as the organisation of business idea competitions, seminars for future entrepreneurs and technological support for local companies as well as training partner staff to help them foster business development in their region. IPN has developed thirteen of these initiatives in different parts of the country, all in the central region, of which ten were implemented under the INOV.C project.
