Podcast
António Costa Silva, Isabel Rocha and Ricardo Paes Mamede have returned to the Innovators League to talk about science, investigation, innovation and entrepreneurship – and the way the new government’s new organic can mess with it all
The north and center of the country concentrate most of the transforming industry, have a great weight in agriculture and have in Aveiro, Braga, Guimarães, Porto or Vila Real Universities with strong connection with innovation. It was also from the north and center of the country that most companies have come that, so far, have passed the Innovators League. Does it mean that innovation is mainly in the north? And that men are more entrepreneurs than women?
António Costa Silva, Isabel Rocha and Ricardo Paes Mamede again joined the conversation about science, research, industrial policy – and how the new organic of the government moves all this. Listen to the podcast.
Other ideas you can hear during the conversation
“We have a larger density of business fabric, but also of institutions that are relevant to innovation ecosystems. If we think, we have not only Porto, we have Aveiro, we have Braga, we have Guimarães, we have Vila Real with universities with innovation dynamics ”
“When we see an entrepreneurship program, most entrepreneurs are men”
“There are innovative women who are the best business minds that the country has”
“We have very good products, but we have to improve a lot in marketing”
“I’m a bit restless. The Ministry of Economy has to be the country’s home of machinery, it has to be strong. If, in the current context, we have the savings will be a problem.”
“It is almost ignorance Cassa about history and public policies to think that the fact that the state plays a role of mobilizing and coordinator of public and private activity is the same as having the state to decide.”
The podcast that tells us what is innovative and differentiator is being done by companies in Portugal. In the “League of Innovators”, Elisabete Miranda and Pedro Lima talk to managers, directors and professionals who tell us stories that have conquered the market and contribute to the economic transformation of the country and its image. They tell us about the victories that have brought them here, but also about anxieties, the envy, the managers they admire, the professionals they have, and the profiles they need to hire. Every week on Wednesdays.
