Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN) hosted the 3rd Demo Day of the BfK INNOV@Rise, promoted by the National Innovation Agency (ANI), on 23 March.


Throughout the session four projects were presented. SmartText proposes the application of filters integrating nanoparticles with the capacity to capture 85% to 95% of oils and fats from the effluents of WWTPs and IRTPs. myPOC is a smartphone application that increases accessibility and personalises the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder through innovative data processing approaches. SPIRO4MALAIDS focuses on the development of a revolutionary class of novel broad-spectrum antivirals with a novel mechanism of action, and high activity against respiratory viruses with pandemic potential. Windcredible is developing vertical axis wind turbines suitable for urban environments, producing energy night and day.


These academy-born entrepreneurial projects received, for three months, follow-up from specialised mentors, intensive training in business development and pitch training to boost the projects' entry into the market.


The initiative is supporting more than 60 entrepreneurs with 15 academic projects that aim to reach the market. The BfK INNOV@Rise awarded three thousand euros per project, for the development of the proof of concept/prototype.
