Last week, we launched our 5-week intense program where #students from across NOVA SBE – and even one from NOVA IMS! – team up with real #startups to tackle real-world #challenges, head-on.
We kicked off in style: all participating startups joined us on campus to pitch their missions, meet their student matches (carefully curated by our team at the Nova SBE Haddad Entrepreneurship Institute), and dive straight into planning mode.
🧠 The teams hit the ground running – and haven’t stopped since. Just days later, students were already back on stage, pitching their startups to peers, presenting work plans, and laying out ambitious roadmaps. The bar is high, the commitment is real, and the momentum is unstoppable.
🤝 To fuel collaboration from day one, Marta Marques Pereira led a dynamic team-building session to help students explore their strengths and start working as truly complementary teams.
🔥 The program is already in full swing: students are working hard, startups are fully engaged, and there’s a lot more to come – with guest speakers and hands-on sessions lined up to equip the teams with tools, insights, and inspiration to thrive.
🎉 Congratulations to the 22 participating startups – we’re thrilled to have you on board for this journey: Amp Assist, Atach Inc, Bac3Gel, BAMandBOO,
Boost Portugal, Bright Site DMC, Subdy.com, Colossal Studios, Comudel, Cresmina Ventures, Des Solutio, Frank, FULLVENUE, Glartek, IFLI Foreign Language Immersion, KauSchlau, Mind Renew, Moovflex, Nocode Institute.io, Portugalxpert, Studyflash and Unwind Minds
