To mark the launch of the new Católica Centre for Thriving Futures, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in collaboration with GALP, have put together an exciting program to answer the question: «How can innovation accelerate the creation of thriving futures? Why thriving? It is urgent to resolve the economic, social and environmental poly-crisis that we face.
The Centre will strengthen the integration of regulation and policy within technological innovation and business analysis to help businesses to make a positive contribution to shaping thriving futures. As we will showcase during the event, interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration and partnership is at the heart of the thriving agenda. And this initiative could not be more timely.
Católica Centre for Thriving Futures is a knowledge transfer initiative of Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in Porto, through its Schools - Católica Porto Business School, Faculty of Biotechnology and Faculty of Law School of Porto, and in collaboration with GALP.
Join us on April 10th at 4:45 PM for our 1st Conference “Innovating for Impact: A Blueprint for Thriving Futures", which will be held at Carvalho Guerra Auditorium, Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Porto. This event will be held in english.
