Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN) is now home to Accenture’s Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Coimbra.
After launching its operations in Coimbra in 2023, Accenture relocated its technology center to IPN’s facilities, in line with the rapid growth of its team, which expanded from around 30 employees to more than 200 professionals in less than two years. This move reflects the consultancy’s strategic investment in a dynamic innovation ecosystem closely linked to the University of Coimbra, technology startups, and the talent pool of Portugal’s Central region.

From Coimbra, Accenture’s Advanced Technology Center provides services to national and international clients, with a strong focus on the export of technology services, an area that represents more than half of the revenue generated by Accenture technology centers in Portugal. Operating under a hybrid model, the new center is focused on areas of high global demand such as Cloud, Data & Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Web3.
