This weekend, we participated in the Blue Bio Value Ideation
program that took part in Nova SBE Innovation Ecosystem. We had the pleasure to
work with Hugo Teixeira da Silva as our business mentor and enthusiastic, while
putting up our research into business. We had to develop a 4 min pitch about
our flow-refuge prototypes. We had also the opportunity to meet a community of
people who thrived to take a step further and make a difference in designing a
better world.
Blue Bio Value Ideation, Oceano Azul Foundation and Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation seek to boost innovative sustainable blue bioeconomy
projects. The program, powered by BGI – Building Global Innovators, aims to
bridge the gap between academia and the market by providing participants with
the tools, network and seed-funding needed to transform innovative R&D into
new sustainable circular new business solutions.
