Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN) has opened applications for the 2nd edition of Ineo Kick – Ignition Programme for Technology-Based, an initiative dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs in developing and validating innovative business ideas.
The event will take place on 30 June 2026 at the IPN, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at the IPN (Building C) in Coimbra, and is aimed at entrepreneurs who wish to reflect on, redefine and structure their technology-based business idea, drawing up a roadmap aligned with the critical aspects of its implementation.
Throughout the day, participants will engage with experts from the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, exploring key topics for early-stage projects, including business models, market validation, team building, funding, technology and strategy.
INEO KICK was created to support very early-stage projects, helping entrepreneurs who are still in the initial stages of developing their ideas and preparing for future acceleration and incubation programmes.
The 2026 edition of INEO KICK takes place under the DRIVEN - Open Innovation Driven Economy project, a project co-financed by the Interreg VI A Spain-Portugal Program (POCTEP) 2021-2027 and the European Union (Operation 0084_DRIVEN_4_E).
Applications are open until 24 June 2026, and completion of the registration form is individual and mandatory, being considered part of the participant selection process: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1v1WWZXxUmPly52bjRP6tDFyk-F5ZMONnkR1qIZJSzpE/edit
