Gratitude and pride is what we feel at this moment. Thank you very, very much.” – emphasizes André Viana, CEO and founder of Motorline.
In an edition that broke records, with about 100 applications and two new categories, Bernardo Maciel, CEO of Yunit Consulting, says in a press release “the innovation, the ability to adapt and to overcome present in all applications. It was an enormous satisfaction to get to know so many inspiring and winning stories of companies that reinvented themselves to overcome difficulties and continue on the path to growth.“
Launched in 2016, this Yunit Consulting initiative has been publicising and rewarding the best innovation and entrepreneurship stories in Portugal, often serving as a propeller for higher flights for companies with good ideas, but who lack the right support to turn them into reality.
