The partnership was formalised through the signing of a protocol in the presence of Lameirinho’s CEO, Paulo Coelho Lima, and the group’s COO, Miguel Coelho Lima. Representing Católica Porto Business School were the Dean, João Pinto, and the Head of the Dean’s Office, Pedro Carneiro.
Lameirinho’s integration into the Corporate Club reflects a shared ambition to bring academia closer to the business community, promoting knowledge sharing, talent development and the creation of joint initiatives with a positive societal impact.
According to João Pinto, Dean of Católica Porto Business School, this partnership reinforces the School’s strategic positioning: “Lameirinho’s entry into the Corporate Club is particularly significant as it is an industrial group with a strong tradition and global mindset, combined with a clear focus on innovation, sustainability and the development of people. This partnership creates real bridges between academia and the concrete challenges faced by companies.”
In turn, Lameirinho’s CEO stated: “We believe industry plays an active role in educating tomorrow’s leaders. Joining the Corporate Club of Católica Porto Business School is a way of contributing to that mission, by sharing experience, learning from academia and generating positive impact.”
With more than eight decades of history, Lameirinho stands out as an integrated industrial group with a strong international presence, combining operational excellence, technological innovation and a consistent commitment to sustainability and people development. These values align with the mission of Católica Porto Business School’s Corporate Club, which aims to foster strategic partnerships, enhance learning opportunities and contribute to the development of leaders prepared for increasingly complex business environments.
The collaboration between Católica Porto Business School and Lameirinho will be implemented through joint initiatives focused on knowledge sharing, engagement with the business world, talent development and value creation for both the academic and corporate communities.
