The 7th edition of the contest “Ideias em Caixa”, promoted by CRIA – Division of Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer of the University of Algarve (UAlg), has applications open until the 26th of February of the next year.
This initiative, which aims to encourage entrepreneurship and the creation of new companies in the region, provides for the delivery of prizes worth €5 to the winners, totaling €30, in the following six categories: R&DT – Caixa Geral de Deposits, Cultural and Creative Industries (ICC) and Information, Communication and Electronics Technologies (TICE), Agrifood, Health and Welfare, Renewable Energies and Sea.
The competition has three distinct phases, the last one culminating with the presentation of the business models to the jury. Until the final stage, all participants in this competition will have access to a series of seminars and maturation workshops, where they will develop their business ideas through specialized consultancy in the different areas of business creation and management, marketing, finance, obtaining financing, among other topics.
Since its first edition, this initiative has counted more than 400 applications, having supported the creation and consolidation of more than 40 companies in the region, thus contributing to the creation of value in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Algarve region.
This initiative is one of the core activities of the Restart Algarve project: Regional Entrepreneurship Support Network, co-financed by the Support System for Collective Actions – Promotion of Entrepreneurial Spirit, of the Algarve Regional Operational Program 2014-2020 (CRESC Algarve 2020).
The project is developed in partnership with the Business Association of the Algarve Region (NERA) and the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE).
