On July 9th, the final session of the 25th edition of IdeaLab took place at the University of Minho in Guimarães. This initiative, promoted by TecMinho, aims to support the development of business ideas within the academic community. 

 

During the session, participating entrepreneurs were challenged to present their proposals in an Elevator Pitch format to a panel of experts, who were tasked with analyzing, providing feedback on, and enriching the ideas presented. 

 

The participation of Guimarães Marca and Set.Up Guimarães in this 25th edition of IdeaLab reinforced the Municipality’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurship and innovation. Representing these initiatives, Marta Mota Prego, Head of the Economic Development Division of the Municipality of Guimarães, joined the panel of judges, contributing to the evaluation and enhancement of the proposed ideas. 

 

IdeaLab is a free program that challenges students, graduates, faculty members, and researchers to explore and validate the entrepreneurial potential of their ideas, fostering a culture of innovation and knowledge valorization. 

 

The 25th edition once again highlighted the dynamism and creativity of the region’s emerging entrepreneurs.
