4. PORTO INNOVATION HUB VISION
The Porto Innovation Hub initiative aims at demonstrating the potential
of innovation in the transformation of cities, with the direct impact of
this relationship on improving quality of life, in contributing to the
creation of qualified jobs, and the potential projection of cities to new
levels of development.
Based on the work of the innovation ecosystem of Porto, the PIH intends
to present concrete examples of the results obtained by researchers and
entrepreneurs of the city, how this work is reflected in the development
of Porto and how it positions in the international arena. From a
heterogeneous program that favors the direct link between different
clusters, the innovation ecosystem and the citizens and visitors of the
city, the PIH hopes to contribute to the strengthening of the relationship
between innovation and the transformation of Porto.
