About this event
The monthly Hangout for the Portuguese entrepreneurial ecosystem, where we gather all level players to talk about the community’s challenges
For many startups, the public sector can feel like a complex or distant partner. However, public entities are also key players — as funders, regulators, and clients. In this Hangout, we’ll look at how startups and other ecosystem actors can engage with the public sector and the opportunities they have: from applying for grants and incentives, to navigating procurement processes, to supplying innovative solutions that answer public needs.
The conversation will focus on how to approach public entities, what frameworks already exist, and how collaboration can contribute to the growth of startups and the innovation capacity of the wider ecosystem.
