the 15 winners of the fourth edition of the contest «Ideias em Caixa», which is being promoted by the University of Algarve, in partnership with the Business Association of the Algarve Region (NERA), will be announced on 9 May.
The announcement will be made at the last session of the conference cycle «Made in Algarve», of the Algarve Regional Coordination and Development Commission, to be held at Teatro das Figuras.
The winning projects will receive several awards, ranging from consultancy services, help to the development of a business plan and support in the area of image and communication. The first place winner also receives a grant worth 4.800 euros. The announcement will take place in the second part of the conference «Made in Algarve».
The 4th edition of this ideas competition, promoted by CRIA – UAlg's Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer Division, had 161 projects in the competition, promoted by 314 entrepreneurs (50 percent female), with an average age of 31, of the agri-food sectors, tourism, health and well-being, and cultural and creative industries.
The high number of applications, as well as their quality, led CRIA to choose 50 projects for the second phase of the event, instead of the 30 initially planned. The promoters of these 50 ideas, among which the 15 winners will be chosen, went through a period of intense training, to mature their proposals, before the final evaluation.
