On 19 November, the Miguel Franco Theatre in Leiria hosted the 15th SME Innovation Meeting, where the COTEC-BPI SME Innovation Award ceremony took place, one of the most important national distinctions dedicated to companies that stand out for their innovation, competitiveness and contribution to sustainable development.
Veneporte was once again among the select group of six finalists, for the second consecutive year, out of a total of 311 applications, reinforcing the consistency of the work we have been developing and the recognition of the initiative's promoters, which we are very honoured by.
As usual, the finalists were recognised for their capacity for innovation. The presentation of each company was once again attended by His Excellency, the President of the Portuguese Republic, Prof. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who acknowledged the contribution of these projects to the present and future of the national economy, while reinforcing the need for more companies to follow this example.
The award was given to the company i-charging, and we would like to congratulate the winning company on this well-deserved distinction and on the excellence of the work they are doing. We would also like to thank COTEC Portugal and Banco BPI for their exemplary organisation and for the fundamental role they play in promoting innovation in the Portuguese business landscape.
This recognition reinforces our commitment to continue investing in innovative solutions, promoting sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness, and contributing to a stronger sector that is prepared for the future.
